| Re: casting anyway mate, distance isnt everything, with that sorta distance you will be into the fish, its just a matter of catching them __________________ Bens The Name And Catchings The Game Anti the Anti's     |

| Re: casting hi to all a lond drop is ok if you are on a flat beach but if you are on a sloping beach a long drop can hit the beach sending you rig in all directions, if you can master the basic pendilum, and try and get the power in as you turn you can and will get some good distances but you must put some casting time on the beach or field john Last edited by iowangler; 08-01-2005 at 11:09 AM.

| Re: casting I have been trying to improve my casting, at present I lay the sinker on the beach directly behind me and lob it out from there. I tried it off the beach with it back at 9 o'clock but got the turn and release wrong and nearly hit a foil basher 80yds up the beach!!!!

| Re: casting i personally dont think you can go to far wrong with a greys orion i pendelum a 5oz lead and can bend/compress the rod with no problem.. they are cheap and will handle most styles of fishing maybe someone nearby can let you try one if not and your ever in devon your more than welcome to try a cast or 3 with the one i have.. im going to buy myself another! __________________ fishing for fish is not as simple as you may think! |

| Re: casting i would say that you do need to get a rod just designed for your style of casting though my abu suveran sx says its for OTG and pendulum i think and it loads up too quickly during a pendulum which causes my casts to go left, much prefer my zziplex __________________ Bens The Name And Catchings The Game Anti the Anti's |

| Re: casting hi ben you may be letting go to early?  or too late i cant remember which is which, this happerns to me sometimes and my son aaron, he is always doing the same , he has two totaly differant types of rod he has a conoflex prototype which is stiff all the way through, and a penn ppt pendulum which is quite soft he always casts better with the softer rod but he likes the conoflex better ???? he thinks because its stiffer its better? i like a stiff rod because i can bend them , soft rods for me tend to bend to much and they dont recover quick enough speak soon john |
