How can I increase casting distance?

Long Casts from the Shoreline

Increase the distance of your casts from the shoreline with a light ocean rod and reel. Surf rods are more expensive than freshwater rods and may be from 7 to 11 feet long, or more, but if you want to get your bait out from shore as far as possible and don't have a boat, it's a tool worth having.

Designed for distance and heavier baits, a surf rod is the ideal choice for casting heavy baits for muskies and stripers from the shoreline.
