I'm a South African, watching an Irishman teach me the South African cast. Imagine that. In all seriousness though, Thanks a stack for such a cool vid, hands down the best video online teaching these techniques and bringing them together. Billy you're a legend brother :)
This is the best pendulum cast instructional video on UA-cam, due to the camera position on the caster can see the weight clearly in the swing all the way through I’ve watched so many videos on casting and video did it for me, slowing down to concentrate on the technique and muscle memory. CHEERS MATE 👍
Being from Texas and fishing the gulf,I use this method. I have tought some who were able to do this but you show it in a way I could not. Thank you for this vidio ....I will pass it on to others so they may enjoy as much as you an I do...
Thank you Billy, very informative and i like how you have broken this down. The beginning when you keep your right arm high and still ( John Holden calls this his fulcrum) to allow the left to push the lead out is certainly something that can be practiced before traveling to the beach. I agree with the others. I've watched many videos and yet yours makes more sense. Have a great new year.
After watching dozens of pendulum cast videos, most leaving me scratching my head, I think this one has given me the courage/motivation to try it again. Thank you..
These video have been brilliant. I've stuffed up more attempts at pendulum casting than I care to mention, but your absolutely on the money with the advice on the South African cast. Two hours of playing with that cast and I went straight into the pendulum no drama (well not much) and no blowups. Thanks a lot Billy.
Thank you billy. I’ve been trying this for a couple of weeks now before watching this you explained it perfectly. No doubt I’ll now see massive improvements!
Great video! I appreciate it. I’m new to surf casting, started in January of this year. I’m from the mountains of Colorado, so UA-cam is where I look for advice. There aren’t any people doing this where I live, so thanks again.
@@Billyfishing_watch I take vacations to the pacific coast for fishing, and I've been able to cast a respectable distance. Off the ground is my best cast, I'm still working on the others!
@@Billyfishing_watch yes to all. Lingcod, rockfish, halibut, and my favorite: sharks! Sculpin, croaker, surfperch, greenling, I go after anything that bites a hook. I need to move closer to the ocean! Unfortunately, I own a business here in the mountains that requires my constant attention. And of course, Colorado is a beautiful place to live. Great trout fishing, but I've done that my whole life.
Good idea to have that coloured thing on the weight, so it's easy to see where it's going, and good camera position, it's the best demonstration of how to pendulum cast I've seen!
Had a few casts on the beach at low tide today after a short fishing session. First time trying the pendulum cast and I was shocked at how easy it was. I was using a 16ft rod with fixed spool and braid which I normally overhead thump. I paced out my casts on the sand to get an idea of the difference between casts and I added approx 28 meters extra distance compared to my overhead thump casts! Chuffed!
@@Billyfishing_watch I thought it would be very difficult with a 16ft rod but it worked a treat! I just hope I don't snap my rods in half? Are you meant to pendulum 16ft rods? Ive got a 16ft Penn Affinity twin tip (using the 7oz) and a 16ft greys triplex 8oz.
@@Billyfishing_watch I'm not sure what the difference is to be honest? There a bit old now but still sell for about £200 each second hand so there not crapy rods. Cheers
Hi Billy, your video is the first one I've watched on how to Pendulum Cast. I just ordered a 3 piece Heavy 13ft Demo Rod, cost me nothing but my time. When It gets here I plan on using it to learn how to Pendulum Cast, if I BREAK IT by accident it won't hurt as much. ROFL 😇😁 I was an Independent Professional Golfer for over 4 decades. I use to teach from time to time and I found that Baseball Players and Hockey Players were the easiest to teach how to SWING since they already had muscle memory for the main movements. The Baseball Player just had to transition to a more Vertical Plane from the Horizontal Swing plane. Feet, Knees, Hips, Shoulders, Arms and Hand/Wrist movement/release all remained very much the same. Watching you cast reminds me of the "Pause At Top" Backswing Method I've used with players. It looks like the Spread Hands on the Rod will be very familiar to a Hockey Player watching your video to learn this. For myself, it looks like just using a more Horizontal Swing Plane with the "Pause At The Top" (To FEEL The LOAD before beginning the Down/Forward Swing) once I've gotten the "Pendulum Rock" mastered for the "Pre-Swing" (Almost like the "One Piece" Takeaway in Golf where a FIRST move of a Forward Press of the hands is what initiates the takeaway/backswing.) will be a good starting point. Even now as an Old Codger I can get on my Knees with a Driver and bang a ball out to almost 250 yards letting the SHAFT load properly at the Transition and do most of the work, which of course being on your knees makes the swing plane much more horizontal. All of that BLATHERING text above is in case Viewers who've played Baseball and Hockey watch your video and then read these comments. Maybe they also can use some of their already practiced/ingrained movements to help them use this Style of Casting. Thanks again Billy, I'm from Florida in the U.S.A. and I Hit the Like, Subbed, and RANG THE BELL!! 🤠😎
Hi Cody, that's the spirit bud. But you need a two piece rod, it will snap eventually. The blank will twist, and so will the guides on the rod will snap off. Good luck brother 👍😁
the grace and poise of a master caster, beach ballet at its finest , I'd love a day beach fishing with you, stinking of bait and soaked in knowledge...luv the vids Billy.
so crazy to see the difference in casting techniques. The left hand handling the spool is nutty. I'd knot my way through the entire reel before being good with my left hand on the spool
I thought the same when i first tried it, but feels (to me amyways) like it slows it down feels less rushed if that makes sense? Also makes reeling in more comfortable for me
When I first learnt the pendulum cast (reel up) I used to practise with just the rod butt to get the movement from right to left. Hardest part was bending the knees for the final push up!
Hi Kerry, I think people over complicate the cast for beginners. Too much technical information overwhelms the mind. And stops people from moving forward. So just getting started builds confidence in a new caster, thanks buddy 👍😊
I see I'm not the only one who uses a butt pad, I recently started fishing low reel after an operation made high reel difficult . I think the butt pad will help when reeling in large fish like Big Rays and Congers.
I thought fly fishing was the hardest cast to learn🤔 Now I’m not so sure watching pendulum casting. You have mastered beach fishing Billy👍 If you fall out of love with sea fishing or just feel stale , try fly fishing. I coursed fished from the age of 7 into my 30s. Then I was introduced 😊to fly fishing and it was like I had never fished in my life. Totally different discipline. On natural waters fly fishing you really have to be in tune with the environment, the weather, time of year, and what fly life is hatching off , and learning to cast is something else. I’m learning to beach fish now as a change is as good as a rest👍
Hi Shaun. It's not that hard, it just takes a bit of practice. As it goes I can cast fly, I have only fished in the sea. Freshwater is not for me. Thanks Brother 👍😁
Hi there. I often fail to see where did the lead go, so it's difficult to know if I did better or worse when casting. I see you used some kind of lead decoration that makes the lead quite visible. Did you make it yourself or is it some standar stuff you can buy? I never saw something like that... Do you normally use it when fishing or you used it just for making the video? Thanks!
Hi Javier. I did make it my self, it is like the golf ball with the holes in it, called a wiffle ball. Golfers use it for practicing their swing, I use it to practice casting because it does not fly as far. But if you just need to see how far you have cast. Then what you need is a death counter for your rod. Just cast out, connect the depth counter and wind in and when you see the measurements, you will know whether or not you cast further. hope this is helpful 👍😁
Hello Great Video well explained. Has the south african cast evolved over the years as i remember john holden doing a South African cast but with the lead on the ground like an OTG cast but the lead further round behind him
Billy, great video, cheers. Never used a multiplier, slightly nervous to start, what being a novice angler. That in mind, does this casting method work the same for a fixed spool?
Enjoying videos thanks , for clarity ... why is it more important to get the lead higher when using a soft/match type rod when doing a pendulum swing ? Thanks
Hi Phil, a stiff rod will pick the lead up more quickly and get it moving while the soft rod will keep on bending, and if the lead is not higher in the swing it will hit the ground. Hope this helps Brother 😊👍
Hi Billy, I love your video on how to pendulum cast. I have just one question, I think that when I try to do it, I release the spool too early, could you explain to me exactly when you release your thumb from the spool please.
Hi Adrian. It is actually a lot more simple than you would think. If you can imagine throwing a stone, a spear or whatever projectile. The release point is exactly the same! Thanks brother 👌
This is saved. I am just getting back into surf casting after many years . Multiplying reels are not normally used for surf casting here in NZ . I know they have far more ability to both cast and fight fish. You tech an uncommon amount of sense. The economy of your action from 8:00 is a scene to motivate even the most inexperienced caster to give it a go.
Hi Martin, glad you liked it. You don't need a multiplier, to cast like that. They do have advantages. But you need to be good with them. A fixed spool will get the job done. Thanks Brother 👍😁
@@chrislawes7760 Surf casting .4oz brake out and half a pilly over the farthest out beach bar.. I know they use overheads for salmon down south.' Go into your local fishing store in NZ and you will be lucky to see a single overhead surf rod . . last count I had nine rod and reels only two are eggbeaters both on my surf rods . Eggbeaters are not pleasant to fish with. Unbalanced ,inherent line twist and crappy drags. I have ordered a fathom 15sd and okuma mad dog Low-Rider.Wish me luck ...
Can you do a pendulum cast with spinning reel? How would your hand position be? I see that with the setup you have.. you got your right hand up the rod and left thumb on the spool.
Hi Billy love the videos really entertaining and a good way to fish better. Have loved using the dongle rigs for flatties, bloody brilliant. Trying now for smooth hound on the South Wales, Gower marks. Hoping I can learn enough to chuck a bait where the fish are😂😂😂. Looking forward to more videos up North as well looks fantastic. Tight lines.
Hi Peter. Glad you like the videos, check out these videos. They might make things a little easier, or even improve your fishing. Just follow the link, thanks brother 👍😁
Thank you Billy getting back into it with my 15yrd old son. Trouble is I cast further and the bugger still out fishes me. But nice to get out despite my I'll health making it tough. Thanks again buddy.
Excellent presentation as usual. Next time out will give it a go . Ps I am getting better at pumping lug. Had some nice lug at the weekend thanks Billy.
@@Billyfishing_watch hi have you done a video on how you prep your lungworm for salting and freezing. Was also told you can salt and freeze ragworms . You say you salt your lug before freezing do you gut them first ,or just cover them in salt . Dose it matter what type of salt you use . Many thanks Steve 😊

Late to this video but AAAAAYYYY from Dublin Billy , Been fishing a long long long time in fact i started when Finn McCool was walking this Island of Ireland now coming to present day this video has been a great insight and a learning lesson on the DREADED Penulum cast that you buddy have made it look and explained it much easier for me at least to learn but thats what its all about right so the next time your home let me know and there will be a Guinness on tap for you or whatever it is you prefer , Great upload from a HUGE fan here back home , Kind Regards Steve
It's the one cast I've always struggled with. I use a century Kompressor SS and can really I can feel the power it generates, I tend to rush the twist and cast. Because of that it feels unsafe and I tend to avoid the method. More practice required. Would you recommend starting with a smaller weight to perfect the technique?
Hi Mark. If it's stiff rod, more weight is a he way to go. I own the eliminator E1000, I like to not less than 7oz with a bait, and than it just right. Thanks Brother 👍😁
Hi Jonathan. Yes you can use a spinning reel, but maybe you should start closer to the beginning of casting. Follow the link to this video it might help.
The yellow plastic squid thing! Was put there to retired the cast, so I didn't spend the whole day winding in the sinker. So about 40 to 50 meters. Why ?
Hi glad you liked it, much appreciated. The rod is from the UK, but os on longer made! It called the Soncik SK4, The reel, is a Penn mag 525. Thank Brother 😁👌
Can I ask how do you know when to start turning for the throw? Is there a good guide how high the pendulum swing should be and when you should start turning for the throw?

Do y'all think I can manage to do this with a 7ft rod? Im going for sturgeon and in trying to maximize casting distance with my current setup. I understand that a longer rod would get me more distance but at this time alls I got is a 7ft surf rod with a baitcaster. Gonna attempt this style of cast with 4 oz and see if I can break 100yards. My real goal is 150 yards but I used to play disc golf and that's a long poke for a fishing rod in my opinion
Hi bud. I think with the right bait rig, it should work. I have always wanted to try what you are attempting. Please let me know how you get on! Follow the link, if you like. It's a video about a bait rig, that casts big baits far. Thanks Brother 👍😁
we had a chap on our local pier pendulum casting he was getting it out there all right but on a crowded pier a simpler casting method is required. I think he was just showing off.
Deadly ViD Yung Fella 👍. What's De Chances of Showing Sorta 12.oclock 1/2/3oclock. Where Ur Leads Landing. Also Distance Ov Where De Different Casts Gets Ya Wit 4/6oz Ov Lead👍🎣Masso🏁
Any tips for throwing big baits/weights? Im a mulloway hunter in Australia and throw 6-8 ounce grapplers with big slab baits/whole squid...... distance has been an issue. i know its a different style of fishing but any tips appreciated.
I tried to do this today with many failures, I understand some parts of the concept, except the casting part. Saw another vid where when the guy casts, he tries to have his handle pointed up like he's going to throw a javelin then does the punch push motion with the right hand and left hand respectively. Problem is, I don't know if there's enough time to set up that position before casting. several of my throws have been hitting right in front of me, which is really bad for the line as it creates unnecessary stress and thus increases the likely hood of snapping (which happened twice or three times in a single day). So i'm wondering how do you follow up the cast after the pendulum has swung back enough? Is it more sideway of a cast or an overhead where you try to let go of the line at the 12 o clock or at the latest the 11:30 position?
Hi bud. It just sounds a little bit advanced for you. So I have another video which is more basic, and we'll start more at the beginning. This should help you progress from that point. Follow the link, thanks Brother 👍😁
@@Billyfishing_watch Hi Billy, been getting some big hounds , 1 x 17lb and 2 at 16lb on the same day. Run out of fresh crab at the moment . All fish caught at distance .
@@michaelbrown-ub6jr sounds like mad fun , my best hound is only a pup at 11lbs but I am out trying for something big right now , we'll see if it pays off, tight lines Brother 👍
I am a South African and I cast like that... without knowing it's called that. Maybe like accents, to us it is just a cast... or in my accent, a caust. I am going to try your pendulum method next time I'm at the water's edge though.
Hi Ross. Just a word of warning, the pendulum cast does not work well with three-piece rods. And might possibly break it. I have three South African rods, and they are designed to throw big baits with minimum effort. If you are throwing a large shark bait, I don't think you will be able to pendulum cast anyway. Thanks Brother 😁👌
yeah, no stress. I'm an edibles angler, so at most it'd be a medium sized blob of squid and fishy bait cottoned onto a dingle dangle, along with a 6oz sinker hung off the bottom.
It's a beachcasting rod - they do still make them! There's zziplex - Conoflex - Century, they are like the 'top ones' - you can also get cheaper ones like Penn, Daiwa, and lots more.
Yes it does, because you can set the magnets for what you need. For instance, if you're a beginner you can leave the magnets on full so you don't get over runs at the start of the cast👍😁
Hi Alex, yes and no , it depends on the style of surf rod you use. If you use a continental style it's best not , that style of rod is best for ground casting. I have a vid on that style to, it's called cast tips for surf rods, just flow the link, but if you can slide the reel seat down the to the but of the rod you are good. Thanks Alex hope it helps 👍😁
Hi bud. You can use a fixed spool reel or a multiplier reel it doesn't matter. The important thing is is to use a rod with two pieces not three 3, because a 3-piece rod might break, because it twists when you're casting. I have made a video on how to get started with a multiplier follow the link, thank you brother 👍😁
I'm a South African, watching an Irishman teach me the South African cast. Imagine that.

Billy, great video, cheers. Never used a multiplier, slightly nervous to start, what being a novice angler. That in mind, does this casting method work the same for a fixed spool?
Hi Simon. Yes, it works. But maybe start with an easier cast to begin with. Follow the link, thanks Brother

Thanks Billy i,ve finally nailed the PEN cast best video on casting took a while but i think i,am there now.
Cheers PAL
Nice, glad to hear it Terence. Thanks Brother, see you on the beach 👍😁
Awesome video. Could you do another using multiple camera angles?
No probs Timothy, just follow the link. Thanks Brother 👍😁

Thanks for an informative video. Had a little trouble understanding what you were saying. Wasn't sure what language you were speaking at first!
🤣👌 no probs, where are you from?
Enjoying videos thanks , for clarity ... why is it more important to get the lead higher when using a soft/match type rod when doing a pendulum swing ? Thanks
Hi Phil, a stiff rod will pick the lead up more quickly and get it moving while the soft rod will keep on bending, and if the lead is not higher in the swing it will hit the ground. Hope this helps Brother 😊👍
Best teacher 💪
Thanks Brother 😁👌
Hi Billy, I love your video on how to pendulum cast. I have just one question, I think that when I try to do it, I release the spool too early, could you explain to me exactly when you release your thumb from the spool please.
Hi Adrian. It is actually a lot more simple than you would think. If you can imagine throwing a stone, a spear or whatever projectile. The release point is exactly the same! Thanks brother 👌
great casting I'm learning alot
Thanks James, glad you liked it brother. Fish on 👍
This is saved.
I am just getting back into surf casting after many years .
Multiplying reels are not normally used for surf casting here in NZ .
I know they have far more ability to both cast and fight fish.
You tech an uncommon amount of sense. The economy of your action from 8:00 is a scene to motivate even the most inexperienced caster to give it a go.
Hi Martin, glad you liked it. You don't need a multiplier, to cast like that. They do have advantages. But you need to be good with them. A fixed spool will get the job done. Thanks Brother 👍😁
Shimano speed master 4's were a staple reel for casting poppers and slugs for kingies in south island
@@chrislawes7760
Surf casting .4oz brake out and half a pilly over the farthest out beach bar..
I know they use overheads for salmon down south.' Go into your local fishing store in NZ and you will be lucky to see a single overhead surf rod . . last count I had nine rod and reels only two are eggbeaters both on my surf rods . Eggbeaters are not pleasant to fish with. Unbalanced ,inherent line twist and crappy drags. I have ordered a fathom 15sd and okuma mad dog Low-Rider.Wish me luck ...
Hi Martin. The fathoms, are great reels. I love them, if you can get the Casting special. It his nice mag breaking. I think you will like it too👍
Great video thanks Billy🦈🦈
No probs Brother 😁👌
Can you do a pendulum cast with spinning reel? How would your hand position be? I see that with the setup you have.. you got your right hand up the rod and left thumb on the spool.
Hi bud! Yes you can, the setup is exactly the same. Except you can't use a three-piece rod 😁👌
Very well explained
Thanks Joe, glad you liked it Brother 😁👌
Hi Billy love the videos really entertaining and a good way to fish better. Have loved using the dongle rigs for flatties, bloody brilliant. Trying now for smooth hound on the South Wales, Gower marks.
Hoping I can learn enough to chuck a bait where the fish are😂😂😂.
Looking forward to more videos up North as well looks fantastic.
Tight lines.
Hi Peter. Glad you like the videos, check out these videos. They might make things a little easier, or even improve your fishing. Just follow the link, thanks brother 👍😁

Thank you Billy getting back into it with my 15yrd old son. Trouble is I cast further and the bugger still out fishes me. But nice to get out despite my I'll health making it tough. Thanks again buddy.
Also can you use 30lb 4 strand braid on a penn 525 mag and a 70lb braided leader.
Excellent presentation as usual. Next time out will give it a go .
Ps I am getting better at pumping lug. Had some nice lug at the weekend thanks Billy.
Nice Brother, a little extra Distance and extra bait always helps, thanks Stephen 👌👍😁
@@Billyfishing_watch hi have you done a video on how you prep your lungworm for salting and freezing. Was also told you can salt and freeze ragworms . You say you salt your lug before freezing do you gut them first ,or just cover them in salt . Dose it matter what type of salt you use . Many thanks Steve 😊
@@stephenbrown783 Hi ,I'm going to do a vid on it in the future, it not hard . Just normal slat and gut them , but there are a few more things that makes better then some other 👍👌😁
@@Billyfishing_watch thanks mate that's great 👍 Steve
Thankyou , I appreciate the advice.
No probs Jeff 👍😁
Very good. Clear examples and well communicated. Nice work. Cheers
Thanks Andrew, Glad you liked it brother. Fish on😁👌
Hello. How long should the pendulum be compared to the fishing rod? Is it suitable for half the average Fishing Rod size?
Yes! And then later you can find tune depending on how the rod feels. Thanks Brother 😁👌
@@Billyfishing_watch Thank you very much. 🙏
Very nice casting ! .. I have just started sea fishing after a 10+ year lay off ! and am as rusty as an old hook ! but i can see a master ! //
Thanks Brother 😁👌
Now this is what i needed to watch 👍👍
Thanks brother 👍😁
Brillant vidio again Billy .deffo picked up a few tips there .thanx for uploading. Heard u mention bout spinning for Bass .i can remember a few articles in B A S S.magazine lotta years back bout some great Bass in norway .Norwegian guy wrote a few articles bout it .Very intresting
Hi Robbie and thank you, Glad you like it. Most bass fishing in Norway happens around the Oslo fjord. Fish on brother👍😁
@@Billyfishing_watch God bless you sir .you show us what fishing .should b .like .Even in my lifetime the way fishing has declined . Here in ireland . Inch in kerry on a good day .for Bass early 80.s brillant .True we still have few good species .that can still can b caught from shore here in my beautiful ireland .Tope .Stingray .smoothies.. Though seems to me your blessed .where you live .Having said.that you are .obviously a very good angler .and a thinking angler .pwer to your elbow sir .as they say from not so sunny Belfast
Don't forget, huss and conger eel. I love fishing back home, but soon I hope. And may the power of the elbow be upon you brother. 👍

Awesome info dude
Thanks Brother 😁👌

Anytime Kia, glad you liked it 😁👌
Late to this video but AAAAAYYYY from Dublin Billy , Been fishing a long long long time in fact i started when Finn McCool was walking this Island of Ireland now coming to present day this video has been a great insight and a learning lesson on the DREADED Penulum cast that you buddy have made it look and explained it much easier for me at least to learn but thats what its all about right so the next time your home let me know and there will be a Guinness on tap for you or whatever it is you prefer , Great upload from a HUGE fan here back home , Kind Regards Steve
Hi Steve. Glad to be of some help to others, and glad you enjoyed it. Thanks Brother, see you on the beach 😁👌
Billy, silly question but, can you pendulum cast with a fixed spool reel?
Hi John. Yes you can, buddy. The process is exactly the same. Tight lines Brother 👍😁
@@Billyfishing_watch Thanks man, with the reel down towards the butt? Sounds awkward 😬
It's easy. just one session, and you'll get it.👍
@@Billyfishing_watch Thank you, you are a gentleman.
No probs 👌
Great video billy
Thanks Buddy, glad you like it 👍😁
Very nice video. I think I'll actually give this a go
Thanks Brother, give it a go.A little extra Distance only killed one or two people 🤣😂👌👍😁
It's the one cast I've always struggled with. I use a century Kompressor SS and can really I can feel the power it generates, I tend to rush the twist and cast. Because of that it feels unsafe and I tend to avoid the method.
More practice required. Would you recommend starting with a smaller weight to perfect the technique?
Hi Mark. If it's stiff rod, more weight is a he way to go. I own the eliminator E1000, I like to not less than 7oz with a bait, and than it just right. Thanks Brother 👍😁
Wow, please tell us what kind of rod you're using. Can a spinning reel be used? Thank you for assisting us beginners.
Hi Jonathan. Yes you can use a spinning reel, but maybe you should start closer to the beginning of casting. Follow the link to this video it might help.
ua-cam.com/video/_oCK_CtA97U/v-deo.html
And it doesn't matter what type of Rod just so long as it's for surf casting
Hello good info what distances you think you were casting out to
The yellow plastic squid thing! Was put there to retired the cast, so I didn't spend the whole day winding in the sinker. So about 40 to 50 meters. Why ?
Helps a lot thanks
Glad to help, thanks Brother 😁👌
I'll be giving this technique a solid crack this weekend 😁 awesome video bro
Hi Scott, just keep it simple in the beginning. Thanks brother 👍😁
@@Billyfishing_watch I'll let you know how it goes!
Hi thank you for the instructional video. What did the rod and reel you are using?
Hi glad you liked it, much appreciated. The rod is from the UK, but os on longer made! It called the Soncik SK4, The reel, is a Penn mag 525. Thank Brother 😁👌
Can I ask how do you know when to start turning for the throw? Is there a good guide how high the pendulum swing should be and when you should start turning for the throw?

Any time Chris👍😁
Simple as, good rod good reel good technique and practice.
There's all ways room for improvement , Brother 👍
Do y'all think I can manage to do this with a 7ft rod? Im going for sturgeon and in trying to maximize casting distance with my current setup. I understand that a longer rod would get me more distance but at this time alls I got is a 7ft surf rod with a baitcaster. Gonna attempt this style of cast with 4 oz and see if I can break 100yards. My real goal is 150 yards but I used to play disc golf and that's a long poke for a fishing rod in my opinion
Hi bud. I think with the right bait rig, it should work. I have always wanted to try what you are attempting. Please let me know how you get on! Follow the link, if you like. It's a video about a bait rig, that casts big baits far. Thanks Brother 👍😁
ua-cam.com/video/uNUTrmYfC08/v-deo.html
we had a chap on our local pier pendulum casting he was getting it out there all right but on a crowded pier a simpler casting method is required. I think he was just showing off.
Yes your right, he just showing off, no need for it on the pier. Thanks brother 👍😁

Thanks Ultan, I think I know what you mean, every thing depends on how much breaks you have on at the time, I will give a go, thanks again Brother 😁👍
Great edit 👌
Thanks Brother, fish on 👍😁👌
Great vid Billy BTW has anyone ever said you look like a ballerena on the beach ", rock on Billy...
They're just rumours, I hardly ever wear it tutu 🤣 Thanks Brother 😁👌
Thanks for your tip. It is really helpful for me.. :) From Korea
Hi all the way over there😁😁, so happy to help, fantastic. Thanks you so much 😁👍👍
Any tips for throwing big baits/weights? Im a mulloway hunter in Australia and throw 6-8 ounce grapplers with big slab baits/whole squid...... distance has been an issue.
i know its a different style of fishing but any tips appreciated.
Hi Sally. As it goes, I was just going to make a video about that very thing. I will show the rigs, rod set up and casting. Thanks buddy 👍😁
Hi bud, that video might take a bit longer then I thought, so if you watch these videos. They will get you on the right road. Just follow the links 👍

My Mrs wasn’t impressed when I said you’d instructed me to practice my swinging.
My advice in this situation is, get your wife to open the window just before you blast in.😂😁👍
Thank you Billy
Anytime Matt, thanks Brother 👍😁
Well done butty learned a good bit ther

Great reels, just keep the breaks on full in the beginning. Thanks Brother 👍😁
Easy enough with a baitcaster...how do you do it with a spinning rod?
It's the same, maybe this video will help. Thanks Brother 👍😁👌
ua-cam.com/video/_oCK_CtA97U/v-deo.html
I tried to do this today with many failures, I understand some parts of the concept, except the casting part. Saw another vid where when the guy casts, he tries to have his handle pointed up like he's going to throw a javelin then does the punch push motion with the right hand and left hand respectively. Problem is, I don't know if there's enough time to set up that position before casting. several of my throws have been hitting right in front of me, which is really bad for the line as it creates unnecessary stress and thus increases the likely hood of snapping (which happened twice or three times in a single day). So i'm wondering how do you follow up the cast after the pendulum has swung back enough? Is it more sideway of a cast or an overhead where you try to let go of the line at the 12 o clock or at the latest the 11:30 position?
Hi bud. It just sounds a little bit advanced for you. So I have another video which is more basic, and we'll start more at the beginning. This should help you progress from that point. Follow the link, thanks Brother 👍😁
ua-cam.com/video/JGMXVjM3Y4Y/v-deo.html
I love to practice this man,.! it,s awsome,.!!
Hi, it takes a bit of time but just relax and you'll get into it. fish on brother👍😊
Nice casting Billy.
Hi Michael, .Are you getting any fishing done over there, or is lock down ?. Thanks brother 😁👍
@@Billyfishing_watch Hi Billy, been getting some big hounds , 1 x 17lb and 2 at 16lb on the same day. Run out of fresh crab at the moment . All fish caught at distance .
@@michaelbrown-ub6jr sounds like mad fun , my best hound is only a pup at 11lbs but I am out trying for something big right now , we'll see if it pays off, tight lines Brother 👍
I am a South African and I cast like that... without knowing it's called that.
Maybe like accents, to us it is just a cast... or in my accent, a caust.
I am going to try your pendulum method next time I'm at the water's edge though.
Hi Ross. Just a word of warning, the pendulum cast does not work well with three-piece rods. And might possibly break it. I have three South African rods, and they are designed to throw big baits with minimum effort. If you are throwing a large shark bait, I don't think you will be able to pendulum cast anyway. Thanks Brother 😁👌
yeah, no stress. I'm an edibles angler, so at most it'd be a medium sized blob of squid and fishy bait cottoned onto a dingle dangle, along with a 6oz sinker hung off the bottom.
I know the rig well, ok. Tight lines brother 😁👌
Very interested...
Glad you like it 👍
Please the name of this kind of rod
Unfortunately they don't make them anymore!
It's a beachcasting rod - they do still make them! There's zziplex - Conoflex - Century, they are like the 'top ones' - you can also get cheaper ones like Penn, Daiwa, and lots more.
Thank you dude
Any time Brother 👍😁👌
Good video
Thanks David, fish on👍😁👌
Does using a mag reel help with birdsnests?
Yes it does, because you can set the magnets for what you need. For instance, if you're a beginner you can leave the magnets on full so you don't get over runs at the start of the cast👍😁
I'm trying to eye what reel your using.
Looks like a Penn
Hi Juliet. The reel is a Penn mag 525. Thanks, see you on the beach 👍😁
SOUTH AFRICAN rod set-up
Yes it is, but most people up here are unaware of it . Thanks Brother 😁👌
Could I do this with a surf rod or would I break it? This would help me cast bait further than ever.
Hi Alex, yes and no , it depends on the style of surf rod you use. If you use a continental style it's best not , that style of rod is best for ground casting. I have a vid on that style to, it's called cast tips for surf rods, just flow the link, but if you can slide the reel seat down the to the but of the rod you are good. Thanks Alex hope it helps 👍😁
ua-cam.com/video/JGMXVjM3Y4Y/v-deo.html
@@Billyfishing_watch cheers mate
What good reel for pendulum cast bro?
Hi bud. You can use a fixed spool reel or a multiplier reel it doesn't matter. The important thing is is to use a rod with two pieces not three 3, because a 3-piece rod might break, because it twists when you're casting. I have made a video on how to get started with a multiplier follow the link, thank you brother 👍😁
ua-cam.com/video/JGMXVjM3Y4Y/v-deo.html
What rod are you using
Hi. The rod is, a sonik SK4👍
