有幾多師兄是想學投釣呢？

Half and half, Why do I want to said that,  normal rod don't means  can't do the job for you but it would not very reliable, When you use it for some of time, That rod would not be straight and same power then before. It also can be damage inside the material you can't see, when it happen the rod will loss the power for casting, and don't matter how much weight you add to it and even the size of the line.

line/ braid size are important, but it does not matter big size or small.
Lead weight  is the same and don't just think to put move weight will go farther.
Yourself - Are you strong enough to casting the heavy light e.g.  8 ozs ???

The important thing is the rod you use.
Your casting skill,
then the size of the line+ lead.
Size of the rings are important e.g. 50mm to 16mm
Reel size is one important part - small to middle 3000-5000 for light to mid power rod, 5500-12000 surf fishing reel for strong heavy rod.

Some light tele surf fishing rod only can handle about ( 80-200g) casting weight
Strong 2 piece surf fishing rod can be go farther to (200-250g).

But They are so many new reel + rod technique  we need to updated.

after you understand all about+ skill that is = distance ( 200 meter +)

Can i said some word ? it may be can help...

1.  lead on the bottom first with ( 3' -6') long heavy leader 80lbs+,
2.  then mini crimp-swivel -min crimp
3.  Sea tourt floating line for hook lenght
4.  High density  round popper foam to put on the hook lenght  need the hook, to help the bait float

Think about if the hook lenght + the bait is light and just floating on the ground.  if the bait get any contect to stone it will float it by itself, So even you lost the lead and you still can get the hook lenght back for snooker
