I'm very new to fishing. I put a lot of hours into online research, and as many hours as I can into actually going out. I've found a spot I like to fish. It's a bar right upstream of a big lake. Fairly still water and an easy going bank to fish from. I know my technique is the most important part of this, but im trying to fine tune the gear to get good casts. I've got a light set up and throw mostly kastmasters, spinners, or weedless rigs, but I can never seem to get my casts a good distance, more than maybe 15 feet out. I don't even know if that's realistic for the lures I throw. But I've got 12lb braid to 8 lb fluoro for a leader. I've been thinking of switching to 8lb braid? Idk hopefully reddit can give me tips

If you are new to fishing out monofilament 6-8 pounds as says in the rod, you are bound to get snagged a lot when you are starting and it’s much easier to work those out in mono, it’s also cheaper and more abrasion resistant. You can definitely cast further with mono as it’s lighter than braided
