I know most people don’t cast this way but this is going to help me a great deal. I’m missing some fingers on my right hand so I wasn’t sure how I was going to hold the line with my index finger. This alternative with the thumb is brilliant and just what I needed to learn. Thanks!!!
Oh, thank God I found your video. I just got my first fishing rod at age 58. I need to practice this sequence over and over until it's automatic. Thank you for the careful, slow and easy to follow explanation.
Just started fishing at 32 and this method Works really well for me. Yesterday was my first day and was completely clueless when it came to this. Cheers for the advice mate
Hello Greg, am 48 year man from somalia. Sorry for my bed england.. I selled my donkey for for fishing rod for go fishing and i want to become the goodest fishermen like you
gregthegardener I always just held the line still the same way you are holding it with your index finger when fishing, just hold it tight against the rod. Can cast one handed.
Hey, I am retiring and decided to take up fishing. I was looking at the telescopic rods and thought I might find something usefull on UA-cam. Found you by accident and what a great first two videos you put out. I think sticking with you I will pick up the fishing lessons pretty damn quick. Thank you for these. An easy 5 starsto you my friend.
I am 44 and like fishing as a concept but never had a rod. I can’t believe that’s how those reels work. I thought it was more automatic. SO Cool!! Thanks
I started fishing at 7 y.o. Then came back about 10 years ago. Yet never have I seen anyone including old timers cast this way. Maybe this is the Aussie way. But hey u know what I wanna give it a shot. Good video.. thanks
Utterly ridiculous to hold the reel upside down and to have crank on right side. Dinosaurs. Put the line under the index finger against rod, pull back bail with left hand, cast, crank with left hand. Same on bait-casters, order left hand reel, grow up.
@@MrCobb-rq8iv hi mate I'm guessing you are English ? I don't know what happened in Australia but pretty much everyone here casts a rod so cack handed, this blokes no different
my 7 yr old just got his (our) first fishing rod, and this was very helpful. Thanks! also he said, “I like his accent!” Ok, we like your accent - seems to add credibility 😂
Please watch another video lol .. this may work but there is a method that's 100 times easier to cast and I only use one hand also allows you to side cast and reverse side cast
This video will change the new generation of casting , we will come to see this cast being used in future , il be 70 and seeing some youngster on the pier casting like that , and il think damn that GTG cast (Greg the Gardener) it’s gone around the 🌍 🤣
Rod/reel combo with fishing kit as an emergency setup ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxntWMOZsO1Zfv-pdn_XuffEtNkTYAYu4Z recommend but started to use this every day. The rod is thick and seems durable. I keep it neatly tucked into a regular backpack all the time with my fishing gear, and can grab it anytime, put it on my back and go anywhere. I just read in another review that the rod length below the reel is adjustable as well, so I will try that too for even more portability. Probably the best setup I've ever owned. I lost the cap for the eyelets, but no big deal since I still have the black cloth sheath that came for the pole and I use that. Very portable and high quality.
3:00 like this! hook a kayaker lolol. I have had a couple of days at tally creek by the m1 bridge with some fishing gear I borrowed from my dad recently. A few bites but nothing hooked. I was using yabbies that I pumped there.
Nice video, it thought me well. I got my line knotted up on me on my spinning rod all because I had no idea I was found it wrong. Great video, God be praised 🙌🏾 all honor and glory to his mighty and matchless name.
I'm 37 and only recently starting fishing. I've been doing it a different way, with the reel facing down and my index finger holding the line as I cast....not to much success. I might give this a try and see if my casting improves a bit.
Hey man thanks so mich for the begginers type vids. I havent fished since i was young and am finding it dofficult to pick up the old techniques you have really helped. And i like ur accsent
Just hold line with index finger against rod then pull back the metal thingy then cast with one hand by releasing line stuck between index finger and rod.
Great video mate. William wants to start fishing so I watched this video and how to set up a fishing rod. Like the way you talk to us like idiots but in a decent way 🤣 time to find a fishing rod 👍🏻
Nice job Greg, you proved to all the wise asses on here that you can catch a fish and that is all that matters. You should have kept him for a good breakfast tho. thanks for posting and keep up the great work on both your channels! 👍👍
Thank you for sharing for begginers, I wish ill have a brand new fishing rod reel set ultralight ,because my fishing rod is old in many years, keep safe God bless...
5:55 I catch a fish!
Cool video.
thankyou. whats point of the half metal bar at the front you flip back? my reel vame with no instructions and seller is ignoring me

Same. My 7 yr old son wants me to take him fishing. I made up an excuse bc I didn't have it in me to tell him son, I DONT KNOW HOW TO FISH. lol
update: I tried your method, and I got the hang of it within minutes, thanks to your video. cheers.

This is not the video I was looking for. But this is the video I needed to see.
Such a different way to how I do it. Thanks for sharing.
Strangest way I have ever seen anyone cast a spinning rod hahahaha but I guess it gets the job done
theres another way to do it?
gregthegardener I always just held the line still the same way you are holding it with your index finger when fishing, just hold it tight against the rod. Can cast one handed.
@@gregthegardener Yes, you could just hold the line with your index finger and let go whenever you want.
Ikr i guess it's what they do in the Australia area lol
@@welshllwizard lol I'm from Aus and I've never seen anyone cast this way but if it works for him I guess 😂

I have never seen anyone cast like that either in real life or on UA-cam videos. That is a very interesting approach.
Just bought my first rod today so going to try this way tomorrow. Thanks for the simple guide
Hi Greg. Thanks a ton for your very clear instructions. you are a natural teacher. Checking out all your other videos. Thanks again.
my 7 yr old just got his (our) first fishing rod, and this was very helpful. Thanks! also he said, “I like his accent!” Ok, we like your accent - seems to add credibility 😂
Thank you this video was very helpful

Now this is what i call a beginner tutorial.Thanks your laugh is beautifully hilarious.
Great video mate. Very clear good instructions ☺
What a wonderful video!
Super helpful. Great, relaxing and useful pace. Thanks!
This video will change the new generation of casting , we will come to see this cast being used in future , il be 70 and seeing some youngster on the pier casting like that , and il think damn that GTG cast (Greg the Gardener) it’s gone around the 🌍 🤣
Love your videos man -- fishing and cooking both!
I'm glad everyone agrees. This casting action is freaking nuts!😅😮.
Who taught him that! Were they taking the piss!
You inspire me to go fishing again.
Super awesome video gregthegardener very informative I loved it!!! Great catch!!!
wow omg i didn’t know how to fish before this and I just caught a fish three seconds ago thanks

Caught a one daddy fish while demonstrating! That's a real demo; thanks, Greg.
I can impersonate you at will and elicit laughter. The many personalities of Greg.
Great video, will try it out soon. Thanks mate
Well done Greg !
I have always wanted to learn how to fish. Great video. Thanks!!
Thanks for your help. 5 mackerel caught while on holiday having followed your video.

It’s easier to grip the line to the handle with your hand and lift your hand off slightly when casting
First Time I see someone casting like this

Thank you for taking it slowly. The slow motion rerun helped a lot
Thanks Greg for being a legend ❤
Thanks! You really helped me, looked for a guide as good as this for ages!
3:23 giddy as a schoolgirl , he has a serious fishing problem he needs help. GREAT VIDEO THANK YOU!
I have an Alvy reel . They are not popular in the US. The retrieve is not the best but it will cast farther than any other reel.
Love ya personality Greg thanks for the help
Thanks Greg, it will be very helpful for new anglers.
Can see my grandmothers house over the other side of the canal... nice video
Cheers grego
Thanks for the video, learning from India 🇮🇳
this is the most australian fishing vid i ever watch
:) I'm animating a fishing animation for a videogame. You've helped me a lot. Thanks!
Fantastic lesson!!!
I like your channel and you given me a new tactic to catch fish coz I am from Iraq we use different ways to do that's

Better and easier ways to do it. I recommend not like this.
@@Slippypotatoes we all got our own ways this ones pretty cool
I love your videos. Thank you for helping a brother out.
That’s gotta be the most awkward looking way I’ve ever seen anyone cast a rod.
It's bloody wierd isn't it
Yea that’s honestly the weirdest way I’ve ever seen
Thanks Greg, now I have two way to cast either with my index finger on my thumb.👌🏾
Awesome technique.
You taught me how to cast it ❤️ my short arms ain't too bad at it now haha.
Just hold line with index finger against rod then pull back the metal thingy then cast with one hand by releasing line stuck between index finger and rod.
Thanks mate! will surely try this over the next weekend! Cheers!

if he let go of the entire rod at 3:00 and ended the video there, this would be primo comedy 😂
Shut

Wow, very helpful. Thanks 👍
Subscribed to your hilarious kitchen channel, now that I started fishing I found your other channel and subscribed. Keep up the great vids bro!
Why is my reel not actually reeling/pulling the line? Do I need to tighten the drag a whole lot more?
Your videos are extremely helpful :-)
Great video man, love the content keep it up
This guy is like a dad for people that grew up without a dad
Awwww that is so sweet
Thank you for sharing for begginers, I wish ill have a brand new fishing rod reel set ultralight ,because my fishing rod is old in many years, keep safe God bless...
