I cast way way farther then that. I start by holding the fishing rod over my head then I start running from the parking lot all the way to the beach while screaming then I jump onto a small portable trampoline I have set right at the edge of the water then I leap into the air and cast slap the line from 2 different directions and let loose. I have almost hit container ships on a few occasions with the distance I have achieved.
Thanks for the tip, the only problem is that it casts way too far sometimes when I try to get some bait i hit mars and then get snagged on the stairway to Heaven
That's nothing, I hunt Grizzly Bears with a stick. I show them a photo of my mother-in-law, and as they run for thier lives, I hold the photo in front of me and beat them in the head with the stick a bunch of times.
I just swing the lead out when at it's furthest away I cast. I have tried these more complicated methods and found I get better distance and there is less risk of snapping or tangling during the cast. My rod is a 13 foot Abu Esprit reel Diawa AG 6.
Good video. Im off tomorrow for my first time beach casting. Shame to see the negative comments. These are the people I worry about seeing out there that may put me off fishing. Trying something new is hard enough. Thanks to TAF I have some confidence. Thanks Guys
I taught myself to pendulum cast about 25 yrs ago with the multiplier and 13ft rods,,once I was confident I had it sussed I started going to some local fields where Plymouth lads used to cast,,i turned up showed them my progress and they said you got it all right,,i was well chuffed to have the seal of approval,,carried on practicing with them for a few months,,regularly hitting 250 yds,,my best was 267 yds,,its nice to have the option to hit big distances when you need it,,its well worth the time to learn and once you can do it you're all set
Hi i am going to arica chile for fishing can you tell me 2 brands names of casting rod and reel with details , LONG DISTANCE CASTING so i can buy it Thanks Wayne
Great help. I like the lad with the fix spool it works just make sure you have a shock leader and also know when to let the line go. Its practise that makes it work. So start like I am doing hour with a lead casting and then enjoyment in fishing. So you have the best of both worlds.
and had to rewind that ,.. "goes miles .......and brains a French worm digger".....😆🤭 omfg I am in tears 😆 ... thank u for the little things Graeme ... ohhhh man ... I gotta collet myself I am waking the house here laughing
Good video on casting. As he says at one point, many bass (and other fish) often hit very close to shore, so having two baits out there is a good idea. It does take a lot of practice to get the timing just right on the cast.
The rods are 15 and 16 feet long so apparently a different type of cast is used entirely.I found it strange myself,but you cannot fault the distances reached with these new rods/techniques and of course on the south coast beach scene these guys always tend to feature regularly. Casting is one thing.Catching is another.Don't know the guys you mention,but I used Tony and Chris as they catch a lot of fish.
Up date on my casting. Now starting to get right out to the fish it took some time to get use to the beach rod and yes I chucked a 4oz weight way out even on windy day. Not bad hey!!!. Enjoy your fishing and be safe as the sea's are getting rough now.
I like your videos, I have a quick tip. For the new comers like myself or others if they aren't familiar with the technique they can probably test it out with a stuff animal or something soft tied on the end of the line and practice out in a open space like a park or something. This technique is really AWESOME!
Never heard of that braid make so cannot comment. Braid will usually cast longer than mono,but can have more problems. Still use a shock leader if you use braid though.
very impressed by the fixed spool rig. after 20 years I can just pendulum cast but I have ordered a 16ft rod for my son to try.great vid again guys ,full of fantastic tips.
Your tips are amazing just got 2 new rods 1 shimano beastmaster 4.25m and a shimano vengence 5.00 both running on a beastmaster reels with braid ...oh my was worried i was going to land a lead in paris from hayling lol........cheers Graham for top end tips. and thank you you for being TOTALLY AWSOME
It does if you want to catch any fish. If you don't want fish and are just into seeing how far to cast contact a local casting club.See where there are instructors in your region.
I do it like that blokes son, but with a bit more of an arc. I've always just used a fixed spool, braided line with a pretty short shock- leader (if your shock leader is too long it slows down the cast as it passes through the eyes) It's also worth doing a small, neat knot like an albright knot, with the tag ends clipped really short. I basically take a small step forwards, kind of bounce the weight so the line goes tight, then you push off with your back foot and twist your hips (like swinging a baseball bat) and whip the weight over your shoulder in an arc. Then just keep the rod tip pointing the direction your lead is flying to reduce any friction from the line with the rod eyes.
Tony's father sold me my abu 7000 in 1975, and while sorting out my first cast birdsnest, my first codling of 2ilb took my bait, about 15 feet from the Beach and hard against a groin (not mine)! Another good vid graeme.
This style of fishing truly look's like a lot of fun. How long would it take for an average fisherman to not master, but to become successful using this type of of long distance fishing? What is the average cost for a descent rig set-up? Again looks like a challenging way of fishing. I take it by this video that this skill has been passed down to each generation. Soo great to watch, and thank's for sharing.
Hi Great informative video as usual . Thank you I have noticed the Reel Seat in A few of your videos ,on multiplier and FS ,, Are they different to the usual or just my imagination , Very Good view on the FS rod Chris(Tony's Son ) is using To, what make are they please ,, They look very tidy .Thanks
Hi Graeme, I've just changed from multipliers and 13ft 6in beachcasters to the 4.5m (14ft 9in) continental rods, fixed spool reels and braid line with a mono shockleader, I love them, mine are rated to cast 100-200g, but I have another pair on the way rated 100-250. I've only been using them for a month and my best fish so far has been a 5lb huss, it was an awesome fight on rod, especially with braid.
Only if you have a deep spool, then back it up with cheaper mono.Most new beach reels now have a second shallow spool just for braid, for finer diameter lines.
No, when you are actually fishing you would use an end rig and clip the baits down. For trying to show the basic casting we just had a lead on, just like on a casting tournament field. Worm baits are streamlined and whistle out OK,but bulky baits mackerel/squid etc will cut your distance down.
Not sure what you mean ? Spool ? On the reel ? I think Tony or Chris mentions the reel make/model in the film. If not, pull up Tony's Tackle website and get in touch with them.
Nice vid I would have liked to see an off the ground cast though as well, I like off the ground and it's a simple cast to master for beginners as it's not all about the timing like pendulum. Cool stuff though.
Hello there! tips seems good, would be nice to count with gadget those 2 styles, I got one, cast as far as can and attach fishing rod counter to a rod and reel it back to You, would be really great to see numbers in practice. TY
There were two rods,the cheaper was the Penn.But you need to contact Tony's Tackle and speak to Tony as there are several options of the reels,some quite cheap.Check him out on your search engine.He's in Eastbourne,Sussex
isn't there a chance of wrapping the line around the top eye casting like this. Lucky for me I fish and live in South Wales fishing all around the grower coast very often I do not need to cast huge distances.
Morning Graeme great videos helped me a lot with my casting .J ust wondered ifyou heard of the cannon breakaway its a great device to save your finger?. If you have can you please let me know wherre. ThaRob.s
I've been basing my cast on 180 degree body turn and it's been going off to my right. Looking at these, Tony is turning closer to 270 which would account for the error in my cast.
Fantastic video, for me one of the most helpful yet. I had one of the wooden reels with a 6 foot cane boar rod I used off Gorleston pier as a kid. The pier was wooden then. Anyway I've hardly got started with this hobby and you made me want a 16 footer. I hope the cameraman got danger money! I might need it to if I tell the misses I want another rod.
TAFishing well, gave it a go but still can't get that pendulum cast. A couple of seals came in within 25 yards of shore and watched, I'm sure they laughed.
Good info, but I don't use shock leader when going for flathead and blue cats in the Ohio River. I spool up with 40 lb Berkley Trilene Big Game line. Low price, dependable line. 60 pound catfish are very difficult to turn in a river current with lighter line. I have no problem throwing 125 yards to the main channel with a Penn #140 Squidder, on a Shakespeare 10 ft Tidewater surf rod. A 375 foot cast is all I ever need.
Hi, great video, do you know what the make and model of the fixed spool reel he used, and the make and model of the rod if you know it. It looks ideal for beachcasting where I live. Thanks again Rob.
One thing to mention, putting the power on slowly in the start and increasing the power at the end, to the max seems to be the way to go. Too much power in the start will hurt the cast and send it to the right, for right hand casters.
My tip would be get nearer to the sea.. Your casting from a mile inland... Good tips though. Looking to get back into beach fishing after many years away
I think it's because the beach slopes towards the water, so you have a height advantage if you stand back a few meters. I always seem to cast way further when i'm above the water level. Higher up = more time for the lead to travel through the air.
I guess there must be a difference between height/close to the water.All I notice is the long casters,even off a pier ,like the highest elevation to cast from. For me I prefer being closer to the water's edge.There must be a distance where the higher launch point makes no difference and can actually work against you,but I don't now what it is. I think the fact they often use the pendulum cast is the reason they don't like any slope behind them or the lead might clip the ground.
I've tried Both and found the 2nd set up way more efficient when fishing the first has way too many issues with bird nesting the second much easier, Def need a glove on the right hand and recommend making sure the shock leader knot TAG ends are cut short. Else they hand up in the eyelets and cause break offs.
I have absolutely no idea.I guess it would be somewhere over 200 yards if on a field with no bait.But there are no fish on a playing field !! You could google up "record casting distances",that might give you an idea.
Just how far would the lead go if you used a pendulum cast on the 15/16 footer. Thanks, just starting beach fishing here after a long break and have a lot of rocks to clear, off to the shops
the spot I fish has a drop off at about 80 yards so if you can't cast far enough you won't put the bait in a prime position close enough for the fish! it's all about placing the bait where there's fish and this can be a tool to help you do that!😎
Can you help me with a problem I have I've just bought myself a saltist beachcaster never been beachcaster fishing before but I'm sure ill pick it up but my main problem is I didn't even know they existed till this rod arrived from Amazon but its got a movable reel seat any tips on where I should start with the reel keep it on the rubber long handle n move up n down till I find my right ballance for me there's 2 groves on the metal where it explains the size n waight ect then on up is the fibre rod can you please help at all thanks brilliant vids love them thanks.
Not sure what you mean but if you put the rod butt under your armpit then extend your arm where your hand grips is where the reel seat should go.That's a standard way of where to put a winch fitting. Or take it into a tackle shop and they would show you.
California ? Is that where Pamela Anderson comes from ? And all that sunshine ?? I wish I knew where to fish as I'd be on the next plane over ! We have 3 below and snow forecast so no prospect of fishing. Sorry I can't help,but those outfits will still belt a bait out a long way,but as to best time of year ? I honestly don't know,but I'm guessing there is stuff to be caught there all year round.Check your local tackle shops.
Love the look of the method demonstrated by Chris and will be giving it a go. Quick question Chris, how long should the shock leader be on a 15ft rod and what knot do you use to attach it to the braid (including how many turns)? I've been trying the albright knot but 10 turns doesnt seem to hold and more makes it bulky. Many thanks in advance.
I suppose you could but with the increased pressure you should wear a finger stall(from chemist's shop) to stop the line cutting your finger. Keep well away from other people when doing it, and always have at least 60lb shock leader.
hi can you tell me 1 or 2 brand name with details the best Casting fishing rod and reel son i can buy it FOR A LONG LONG DISTANCE .... from a beach? i wanna take that to Arica Chile... Thanks
If you're getting a lot of birdsnests with a multiplier, you're probably doing something wrong. For example your line isn't tight on the spool, so as you cast the rotational force throws out loops which catch on the outgoing line, or not setting your braking sufficient to match the speed of the lead slowing down, causing over-runs. Remember, into a headwind, you'll need more braking as the lead slows faster. Of course you also have to keep your eye on the lead to stop the spool as the lead hits the water. Keep these in mind you should have trouble free fishing.
What’s wrong with laying the lead on the beach under the rod and pull through look,at the easy cast with John Holden and the late Phil Hyde far less effort and it travels,a very long way
True, I limit my muscle on Ohio River bait casting for monster cats. I lose my bait on fancy casting technique. 100 yards is good for big river main channel.
after looking at this again my experiences tells me casting like this with lug or rag worm would result in the worm flying off in all directions, even if you have made the worms tougher by keeping them a few days. One comment suggests using a 6 ounce lead most rods have a suggested cast weight of 4-6 ounce this suggested weight for casting should include the lead and the bait in the total casting weight. I have seen a few 13 foot rods snap with people trying to bang it out there when a lot of the time it is not needed. Brill You Tube series BTW, GOOD JOB!
sad to say this type of casting is not possible here in our area since a lot of swinging of lead is needed. We usually do surf cast on a spinning reel with 15 lbs. braid on a 4.5m rod and we are still able to cast 110 to 130 meters. Good video though..thanks for the useful tips..
All well and good with just a lead or lead and small bait but try this with a huge 5oz bait and a 6oz lead and this just doesn't work . Great vids though lads keep them coming
You need to check with your tackle dealer.No good getting a powerful rod if you cannot get the best from it. I have a rigid butt that I can put on one of my Conoflex rods and its primarily for pendulum casting,but I can't get on with it,so I use the standard composite butt which is a bit more forgiving.
Supposed to be better for pendulum casting with the reel low down on the butt. For the average angler it probably does not matter which you use. I always feel low down is for greater distance, but pendulum casting is a technique to master properly.
I cast way way farther then that. I start by holding the fishing rod over my head then I start running from the parking lot all the way to the beach while screaming then I jump onto a small portable trampoline I have set right at the edge of the water then I leap into the air and cast slap the line from 2 different directions and let loose. I have almost hit container ships on a few occasions with the distance I have achieved.
😂
Thanks for the tip, the only problem is that it casts way too far sometimes when I try to get some bait i hit mars and then get snagged on the stairway to Heaven
Careful! The hook might loop around the Earth and catch you in the back of your head!

It may need a lot of practice to do so...seems easy seeing on youtube
Great channel guys! whens the best time of the year to hit up the California coast? to try out this new cast

It's not really a rod for pendulum casting, it is more for the use of over head casting. It can still cast over 250 yards with the fixed spool.
Would you guys say it's necessary to use a mono backing when loading braid onto a fixed spool, or is there no need?
excellent show,very informative...keep nup the good wok.....tight lines
Can't remember. It might say in the film. Check it out again.
isn't there a chance of wrapping the line around the top eye casting like this. Lucky for me I fish and live in South Wales fishing all around the grower coast very often I do not need to cast huge distances.
Morning Graeme great videos helped me a lot with my casting .J ust wondered ifyou heard of the cannon breakaway its a great device to save your finger?. If you have can you please let me know wherre. ThaRob.s
what kind of rods were you guys using? fiberglass or graphite? and which rod is better and which material should a beginner start with?
Try the fix spool at the bottom. Get alot more control ect
I've been basing my cast on 180 degree body turn and it's been going off to my right. Looking at these, Tony is turning closer to 270 which would account for the error in my cast.
I think it says in one of the"Beach fishing tips" with Tony explaining rod & reels? Great Vids many thanks.

Love the look of the method demonstrated by Chris and will be giving it a go. Quick question Chris, how long should the shock leader be on a 15ft rod and what knot do you use to attach it to the braid (including how many turns)? I've been trying the albright knot but 10 turns doesnt seem to hold and more makes it bulky. Many thanks in advance.
Is Tony left or right handed? Should you have your left hand on the multiplier when casting if you're right handed?
would a beach cast and targo braid line give you a far cast if your fishing off a pier?
can you effectively use the pendulum cast with a spin reel or even an alvey?
I suppose you could but with the increased pressure you should wear a finger stall(from chemist's shop) to stop the line cutting your finger. Keep well away from other people when doing it, and always have at least 60lb shock leader.
You can just use some electricians tape.
Tony, What reel are you using? I have thought about purchasing the ABU Blue Yonder. A bit pricey.........
Does the rod have to be as long as 15ft+ for the fixed spool method? Will a 12ft one be fine?
So the height or the highest grade on the beach is better than being closest to the waters edge?
can you please tell me what is the brand and name of the spinning reel? (the one that the young man use)
No,12 foot is the norm.15 feet is just the latest craze. I have 1`2 footers that I have used for 30 years. They still do the job.
What make and size was the fixed spool?
Very useful tip about hitting the weight at the top of the inswing, I'll be interested to see what effect that has on my distance.
hi graeme nice video seen it multiple times is that reel on the fixed spool the wychwood exorcist is it any good.
+Damion Squirrell 1 Hi, I Don't know.You need to contact Tony Kirrage at his Eastbourne Tackle shop.He is the man in the know.
It's a daiwa tournament iso
hi can you tell me 1 or 2 brand name with details the best Casting fishing rod and reel son i can buy it FOR A LONG LONG DISTANCE .... from a beach? i wanna take that to Arica Chile... Thanks
yeah i have a 5m rod just need to bait up better XD when i cast it looks like a meteor with a tale made of bait
i wold like to by a rood like this one for long casting that's work with spinning reel pls advise ?
Not that I know of. Just practise, though you could try casting clubs.
thats a good looking reel
I use my stronger arm on the reel and put the weaker arm to pull down on the butt. Others may vary.
What rod and reel is Chris using. I'm thinking of going down this route
If you're getting a lot of birdsnests with a multiplier, you're probably doing something wrong. For example your line isn't tight on the spool, so as you cast the rotational force throws out loops which catch on the outgoing line, or not setting your braking sufficient to match the speed of the lead slowing down, causing over-runs. Remember, into a headwind, you'll need more braking as the lead slows faster. Of course you also have to keep your eye on the lead to stop the spool as the lead hits the water. Keep these in mind you should have trouble free fishing.
What’s wrong with laying the lead on the beach under the rod and pull through look,at the easy cast with John Holden and the late Phil Hyde far less effort and it travels,a very long way
you never see anyone a casting with lead and a bottom rig or anything all loaded up !!do you lose your bait in the air flying at light speed ?
True, I limit my muscle on Ohio River bait casting for monster cats. I lose my bait on fancy casting technique. 100 yards is good for big river main channel.
after looking at this again my experiences tells me casting like this with lug or rag worm would result in the worm flying off in all directions, even if you have made the worms tougher by keeping them a few days. One comment suggests using a 6 ounce lead most rods have a suggested cast weight of 4-6 ounce this suggested weight for casting should include the lead and the bait in the total casting weight. I have seen a few 13 foot rods snap with people trying to bang it out there when a lot of the time it is not needed. Brill You Tube series BTW, GOOD JOB!
hi guys where can i get a good,cheap fixed spool for a 16ft beach caster
sad to say this type of casting is not possible here in our area since a lot of swinging of lead is needed. We usually do surf cast on a spinning reel with 15 lbs. braid on a 4.5m rod and we are still able to cast 110 to 130 meters. Good video though..thanks for the useful tips..
I know it is an old video but with a strong fish on how does the braid not cut you on the manual level wind?
Think I just got the answer. Had not watched long enough.
All well and good with just a lead or lead and small bait but try this with a huge 5oz bait and a 6oz lead and this just doesn't work . Great vids though lads keep them coming
Will the second pendulum cast work better with multipliers though?
There's only one pendulum cast
This is a medium action rod, right? is it the best choice for casting?
You need to check with your tackle dealer.No good getting a powerful rod if you cannot get the best from it. I have a rigid butt that I can put on one of my Conoflex rods and its primarily for pendulum casting,but I can't get on with it,so I use the standard composite butt which is a bit more forgiving.
would you not get even further with braid on the fixed spool
Yes,a lot of anglers do use braid, for the finer diameter and better bite detection.
Should do a video on off the ground cast
Please advertise the type of rod and reel so we know where to purchase, thanks.
I think it was mentioned in the tackle shop section ?..if not just phone them up .
How far can Chris cast with the 15 foot, fixed spool and braid?
What kind of bass do you guys get over ther in the uk?
European Bass although there are a lot of laws around them at the moment
How much casting distances they were reaching?
That cast should be called a happy Gilmore 😄
Tqvm,from malaysia
what was the name of the multiplier reel ? seems nice
Can't remember which one.Probably Akios ?
ok thanks i look again
thanks for the videos its allways nice with sharing
Why do some people use a multiplier close to the rod butt and others use it further up the handle ?
Supposed to be better for pendulum casting with the reel low down on the butt. For the average angler it probably does not matter which you use. I always feel low down is for greater distance, but pendulum casting is a technique to master properly.
what fixed reel was it??
What rod was he using with the multiplier?
