took ben to the beach today to get shown how to cast properly by bob a tournament caster (never seen lead go so far :blink: ) he was emptying an over filled 6500 ct : it wasnt the best of days due to the wind but i wasnt going to miss it for anything ...:nonono: think if we meet up again he needs to take a stick with him to beat ben with for thinking he his chopping wood with an axe when he is casting no matter how many times he was told he started the cast ok then droped his shoulder half way through .......might be my fault as 13'6 and a 6oz lead could be a bit much for him ..........he going to the tackle shop tomorrow after school to get some 3&4oz leads might help him a bit ..........after watching for a while i decided to have a go ....getting shown how to cast properly made a big difference in distance (even to a numpty like me :blink: ) i was well pleased with how far i was casting .....then the inevitable happened knocked me mags off and you know wot happened next .....end of my casting ....lol............so it was back to watching ben he was getting there in the end ...he was managing easily 20 yds ....lol.........when he stopped i decided to try with his rod and reel as he was using his 6500cs .....wot a difference than casting with my 525mag extra the distance i was getting with bens was fantastic really pleased .......then ben did the crack off on his last cast ...........so it was down to watching the expert ......we had been there for 3hrs and i was froze to the bone but i could of stayed and watched bob cast for ages .............i would like to thank bob for taking the time to show ben and myself how it should be done and really look forward to meeting you again :notworthy :notworthy
