Guys, tomm is Friday.  Give me a call on 083 283 4170 if anybody wants to do any casting.  I shall be going to Blaauwpan Dam to cast tomm.  So give me a buzz. This dam is by Bonaero Park (Kempton Park).

We spoke so much about casting, but I had forgoten about it.  So where have all the people that talked about casting dissapearred to?

Seems like no people keen on this anymore.

Theres usually people at Blaauwpan on a Sunday casting.  Sometimes we go to Homestead in Benoni.  We usually go around 08H00 and go home around 12H00.

I am plannig to go this sunday, but will be in the afternoon. Leaving my rock and surf stuff at home, and taking my conventional carp angling along.

mmmmmmm i think we are throwing too far!!

But gallie....lengthen your drop, and keep your upper arm (the arm/hand not on the reel) keep it straight all during the cast. Look to a point in the sky, pick a cloud or a seagull and moer it. Then dont watch the sinker....watch the reel...

:)

i Concur .

In general though people are trying to iobliterate the sinker into Orbit , resulting in more time spent fixing a mashed spool , than simply focussing on consistency .your cast should end with the Reel more or Less in front of you so you can watch as the Line peels off .  If you cast wiith a smooth Action , so too will the line Peel Off smoothly . It's when you try and beat Danny Moeskop that you end up looking like a ..P    - ah......- Nevermind . Woulda rhymed !!! lololol!!

If you Own a daiwa , and are complaining that you are throwing Overwinds- USE THE BRAKES . USE THE BRAKES .  DOn't care what people tell you that it shortens your distance and blah blah blah - If it works - it Works .And after i installed mine into an sl 30 that i was Battling to cast with , there was No turning back . 155m Measure with a 5 oz .i made calls to other people , and got more for My other reels , as I'd all but thrown all of my own ones away , not looking in the box .......

I even use them on my saltiga , and it throws consistently  a Mile . And without the Drama of an overwind .who gives a Rats if I'm Casting 4 meters shorter than the next oke ?hmm??really ??

Take it from the al blacks - consistency is better than a single cast of 2000 m .....
