Some good info here, some not so accurate. The good - Push (punch)/ Pull. This is a cornerstone to good casting. The not so good - (1) Pendulum - The described cast is NOT a true pendulum cast. While the sinker does swing back and forth in a pendulum motion, a true pendulum cast has 3 distinct elements. 1) - outswing, 2) - inswing and 3) the powerstroke. What he is demonstrating is (kinda) like a modified version of a hatteras cast. (2) Increasing the weight to 8oz for more distance. 8oz is a half-pound of lead. That is a load. I am one of those NC 8nbait guys and i can tell you without reservation that 8 oz WILL NOT fly as far as something more manageable like 4-5 oz. (3) Drones. While they will work, drones are illegal on the National Seashore of NC and many other places. I appreciate the enthusiasm and using the platform to promote surf fishing, but I'd tweak the content a little. Big tip - LOOK UP 45 degrees when casting.
🎣 I see you have improved your casting from your previous casting video,! ... 😊 I agree with comment by Tommy Farmer, and some others. The UK and our SA casters are very good at casting. To improve casting, don't snap start the cast, that is when a trace snap off and or a broken rod tip can happen,! ... Start the cast Suitably fast and Increase the speed up to the release point. The speed does it, to increase distance. Imagine a point between both hands holding the rod, - that is the axle or pivoting point in pushing forward and pulling the rod down. Both hands Must work together, ... Do not "flick" at end of cast, and keep rod tip up about 45° as they say. I don't think the "whip" explanation is a good description. Lowering the rod before cast is complete won't help in distance. Can move one foot forward but keep both feet on sand or ground before casting is completed. Lifting a foot too high up and or leaning too far forward is not a good base and you won't get extra distance! The stance is the basis for good casting, 🎣
All great casters for sure! Big Lou still attends tournaments, but not S often as in years past. There will be several casters w/ good numbers & this event usually draws a good crowd of guys. I’m hoping to hit 800 at this year’s JVC. This is a family friendly event where everyone is welcome. Show up w/ whatever gear you have & we’ll get you started.
Brandon would love to see what ypu can catch at fort macon. Its on nc at the city of atlantic beach. Fort macon is at the point of the island and sits on oce between Atlantic beach and Moorhead NC
If you want to cast it far.. You must whip-it! When you wanna catch a fish.. You must whip-it! Gonna cast it strong.. You can whip-it! Whip-it good. 😅✌️ sorry you said it and the song just started in my head. 🙃
Great video, thank you from Australia brother. I am taking notes. That baby shark was sooo cute! Baaaaaaby shark! do do do, doo da da doo doo! JOIN IN GUYS!!!! 🦈
Type of rig also helps with distance and the delta in distance can be seen more as weight goes up. 8 and bait on a long leader will helicopter versus more compact rig with breakaway brand setup clips
thanks! Happy you enjoy our content. Have you seen all of the fishing gear we sell? Check out my website, we have a ton of new fishing products to help you.
#1 before doing a power cast should be to tighten down the drag so there won’t be any line slippage! If that line slips before letting go of the line it will slice your finger!
You have to use the shock leader relevant to the size of weight your casting. Never try this type of cast or anything similar to it without a shock leader, it's very dangerous. FYI, I use 30 lb. braid and 100lb to 120lb braid for a shock leader.
Tip #6 use some kind of finger protection. I prefer leather work gloves. Watching you cast that 8oz you were holding back because you were probably burning your finger. Get a glove and let it rip!
