Not disputing the fact but he asked if the line was any good for extra casting distance , in my opinion in the normal fishing breaking strains for extra distance it isnt .
Yes Neil Kelland cast 300yds on the 175 g but he isnt Neil Kelland ,for us less than world class casters the thinner the line the further the lead usually goes , that includes me , you and 99% of other casters .

i went and had a casting sesh tonite and when i fianlly started to get used it i was bearlly gettin any further than when i just dangled it then i got a birdie and snapped off so i just packed up and came home i also need to reinvest in some new line and was wondering if daiwa sensor was any good
when i originally read this, i took it to mean because he was lacking distance he wanted a new line that would help him gain a bit extra distance, possibly on re-reading it, he is asking if sensor is any good as a line, not for casting.

Just a few things to remember this can be a very dangerous cast and your knots shud be checked before trying and as you get it right a flapper may help matters as bieng a big bloke you will struggle to hold the reel down specialy when line is wet and temp drops good luck anyway coz you will get a real buz when u do get it rite and the sinker with line and bait attached flies off in to the distance!

NESA used to have the odd free casting clinic attended by some superb casters. Peter Thain I believe was involved, maybe something simialr could be organised?

Daiwa Sensor 18lb is good for Distance mate. It's slightly thicker than normal 18lb line but who gives a hoot.
It's for fishing not casting. The time to worry is when you empty your reel with it with a bait on!

Don't worry about diameters. Work on technique and you'll cast that line as far as you need.

Get a couple of lessons off Bob Collins (arc)
I also wanted to learn the pendulum but he showed me the correct way to cast off the ground first, am now pendulum casting, no where near as good as the other lads on the tournament field but my best measure to date is 224 yds
The lesson bob gave me was well worth it - highly recommended
