hi
i have seen many anglers cast in different ways, so i thought i would find out which way is most popular!!!

i cast with the weight swinging then over my head!

Since i started shore fishing again its been swinging in the air and then over the head (oo-er ). When i was younger i used the offf the ground cast though.

If Im going for distance, I use a sort of modified pendulum cast lol. The extra momentum I get from swinging the lead seems to improve my distance a fair bit.

i use the weight in the air and over the shoulder used this when I started with fs and carried it on to a muliti never tried any onther way as it seems to work for me

I do a sort of PENDULTHRASH really! Often the shore is steepish behind me so I can't do and OTG so I let it swing! On a shingle beach its often OTG. I tried Over head thumping with the beachcaster once, and lost touch with the lead, it seemed to be still going but then stopped, I waited and then it came down and almost brained me! When I cast with the light rods and fixed spool, I actually do an overhead cast quite successfully using the elasticity of the rod.

It all depends on how far I want to cast and what/who is behind me.

If I want distance then I do a form of aerialise off the ground.

If I feel lazy then a simple overhead thump but from the side, sort of OTG but in the air.

For my float fishing just a flick!

hold rod give a sort of tennis player grunt and lamp it towards the sea. Hey it works for me

If the bait is in water (sea) then that is where the fish are???????????????/

i seem to get it out there, but i could do with some help with casting, especially now im using multipliers

 

[Big.D]

must admit it's a bit like paid4's thingy....weight is usualy @ 90 degrees to me wind up and let it fly....not very far...lol

I have never seen two people cast the same way. I think there are so many variations with so many names for so many styles that the poor old beginner stands little chance of understanding any of it.

Perhaps Mike Jr could publish a glossary of all the terms and what they mean somewhere on the site so that at least beginners can get their heads around it.

 

[smooth one]

none of them really but i went for the closest 1
my mate calls my casting the helicopter cast because of the way it looks and sounds apparently
i think he is just jealouse cause it goes further than his

I call mine the "Microsoft cast". You think it's going to be great, you wait for ages for something to happen and then it all ends in one big disappointment.
