Smaller and lighter lures will cast further than heavier ones

single speed reel

I usually set this combo up with 20 pound braid, again this is topwater so I don’t mind using cheaper braid with a thicker diameter for the pound test strength since I don’t need the stealth or sensitivity, currently I am using H2Ox braid from Academy which can be found at Academy for $9.99, and I use Ande Monofilament leader that you can get pretty much anywhere that sells fishing line

are reinforced with Sycron material to minimize flex and frame distortion under heavy load
