Surf fishing setup

I’m planning to go surf fishing for my spring break and my have a question about my heaviest setup. I have about an 8 ft rod with a conventional baitcaster I currently have 30lbs of line on it but that never gets it out far enough so I plan to change it to either 20 or 25lb line to get more distance in my casts. Will that Work? Thank you for anyone that has some ■■■■■■■■.

If you can get 20-30 yrds, you should be good.

yep, don’t need to cast over 30 yards (usually) to have some good fishing. All the shark runs I had this past weekend with parker and runbabyrun were casts within 30 yards of the beach. More of an under/side arm toss than a cast haha
