its a good fishing pendulum cast tbh. you get the left up and hit it well in the 2nd. if your ever up north, ulster casting club is a great casting club and you will get a few tips.
Thanks man. Really wish there was some casting clubs still down south. Insurance killed them all. Might have to give the lads in the club a shout when I'm up there next thanks
@@IrishAnglingAdventures What kind of distances are you getting? you get the lead around your body well, maybe a little less rotation will allow the lead to go straight out, seems like its goes right too early.
I wish I knew what I was getting to be honest. I'm going to have to get into the field and actually pace it or trundle wheel it out . I'm assuming I'm getting somewhere around the 120-150 meter mark with bait. As for accuracy it goes in the rough direction. I actually think those cast went a little more left than I wanted I think the camera not being set up directly behind makes it look like it goes right
2nd cast looks very good especially if your just starting to learn! Just try and keep your arms a little more straight… the bigger the arch the lead makes behind you and the more power you will generate… I know this can be difficult on certain marks though… which is also why I assume your drop is a little shorter than I would prefer… but your drop length depends on the weight you are casting also… if the lead goes straight when your casting though then it’s perfect
Thanks man . Ya the slope behind me didn't help with how short the drop was but It also didn't feel right having a big drop. Just something I need to get used to I guess. Would you say longer drop for lighter lead? . Lead isn't going as straight as I want I'm sometimes releasing a touch early or late I think and I've noticed I'm not casting up. I seem to be casting more at like a 30° angle instead of 45ish
@@IrishAnglingAdventures exactly that, I’ve got marks on my rod for 5,6,&7oz leads and the drop length will probably be a reason your cast may not be straight currently so have a play about with it rule is lighter lead longer drop… and I wouldn’t worry so much about trying to cast up 30 degrees is fine otherwise you end up chopping the cast… essentially you try and create power in a big arch behind you and then last minute you change the direction your pulling the rod to over the top of you to try and cast up and you lose that momentum and end up just casting off the tip of the rod… if you ever watch someone cast from behind and when they do you can see that just before they release the line that the rod tip is bending to the right and not in line with the rest of the rod it’s because they are chopping the cast
Ah that makes sense with what your saying about the chop. Guys had shown me a few times before how to pendulum but when I used their technique it felt weird. The rod didn't feel like it was generating power. I now realise it was because they were telling me to bring the rod more vertical.
I don't baitfish from the shore but I do fly fish from the shore , I'd think this style of casting is the very same in loading the rod in a fly cast mate !! Tbh I can't see anything wrong with your technique..
Thanks man, ya basically the same the fly rod. Letting the weight of the line do the work really in loading the rod. I still think I've a bit to do to be happy with it but at least it's a start
