Its says on my rod Casting Weight (4-6oz) does they mean if i have a 4-6oz weight i would reach maximium distance

Usually the ideal casting weight would be 5oz + bait.

It's the optimum for distance, if you use a three ounce it won't be heavy enough for maximum distance, but OK for close in. A 5 ounce will probably be right to make the rod work. however, don't worry too much about distance, particularly after dark.

i always worry after dark when i cast,because if i dont hear a splash i no its time to run as the weight has gone straight up
