You should get better distance than 20-25ft with a 1/32 jig. 2lb test will allow you to cast farther for sure. I throw 1/64 jigs with 2lb test.
I have it in my head that I want to cast 1/32oz jigs and small plastics. I bought a 6' UL St Croix panfish rod and equipped it with a President 25 and 4lb hi viz. I can cast it 20 -25 feet. Would going to 2lb increase the distance. The 4lb is so fine I have some difficulty tying knots. Am I going about this correctly, casting 1/32?

OK my bad. Went out in the yard/snow with a tape measure. I am actually getting approximately 40 feet a cast. Anything to be gained by going to 2 lb?
I cast 1/32 road runners on K-9line , 4 lb. test. It is .165 diameter . Can get hi-vis or clear . good stuff . Should cast 45-55 ft. on a spinning reel with a 6.2 rod .

Line diameter/# test varies between companies. One braid I use has a larger diameter for 6# test than another that is thinner for the same line test. The thinner line is also difficult for me to make knots and I've gone up to the next test. Both lines are good and cast 1/32 oz jigs over 35' depending on the size and weight of the soft plastic lure I'm casting.
I used spincast and spinning reels with braid.
