most shops sell them they called deapth counter paid less then a 100 bucks for mine but if you buying it to improve your cast dont waist your time it will only make you start worring about numbers what i use mine for is when a few of us go to the park and have casting comps great fun

there are many tackle shops in that area that can assist. try Alpha Pro or Somerset Sports in Cape gate, even Sportsmans Warehouse Tygervalley will have. will you be using it to see howmuch line you loading onto your reels?

Yes, that's wot I want to do and go to a rugby field and see how far I cast! Want to work a bit on my technique!

At this moment I think I'm getting bout 60m with my saltist 40h...if I must guess!!! Lol

Hi Nico why not try and get someone with a measuering wheel or something. its a bit more accurate. what field are you using? and dont forget to take water with to wet your line before you cast. maybe I can join you sometime.

ive always been looking for an open field in the area to practice casting but never seem to get one. I might have a line counter we can use and also get a wheel. now just to get a field.

I bought one at mias-R85-00.It clips on to the rod.Make your cast,clip it on and reel in to see distance.I don't like to practice on a field-rather go to a dam.

Good luck.

:SSS..For what it is worth...why not put some bait/lure on and go and practise in the sea..in CT no matter where you fish , I am sure you will find a spot with the wind behind you to get a bit of extra distance and you might catch something.....my toppie always said if you wanna practise casting then do it in the sea ...always a chance of getting a fish as well!!!...When I go fishing I am always practising..untill that fish takes my bait/lure.. I am practising , honing my casting skills...like a Samurai warrior will use a real blade and practise his moves over and over...sometimes on "live" subjects....every now and then push a cast...so clip on a 5oz spoon or plug and go and "practise" in the sea....casting is like driving a racing car ....when to let the clutch go for that "perfect" pull away!!!....:SSS:SSS
