Good basic cast and easy to do

 

Any casting style is very powerful if done correctly,self teaching can lead to bad habbits that are really hard to get out of..do yourself a favour and go to a casting event, think westwood is your closes..you will learn quicker if you do

 

There's other factors that influence your distance beyond technique. I added 20 yards by switching from 18lb to 12lb line.

 

Get in contact with phil Hyde aka philtherod he lives down your way and runs free sessions on a Saturday afternoons and teaches the Brighton cast amongst other casts.

 

Hi,

as i was unable to teach myself (no casting instructors over here in germany) OTG and Pendulum correctly, i decided to try the Brighton cast after found this :

really love the instructions, and it improved my distance (lead only) from 110yds to 140yds in just 2 short sessions ( measured with a laser distance meter).

And more to come...

regards Marco

 

Thats a great help Thanks very much for this.

 

Well I took a 14ft rod to the beach today and tried the Brighton cast ... following the instructions from the link above that basslawine kindly provided I was very quickly casting considerably further than I have ever cast ... and not only that ... I was doing it on every cast and smoothly without any strain or undue effort. It really does work. Thanks for the advice here!

 

It's a very easy way to cast and does really thump your bait out there with not much effort
There's some videos on YouTube from terry Carroll doing the Brighton cast,
