Yeah that allows you to add an immense amount of force to the cast while still maintaining a smooth, clean cast. Twisting your core like that just adds a ton of velocity.

Yes this is great footage. It's difficult to understand how the pendulum cast works through video. I finally get it now after about 5 different video explanations.

The one and only video that was properly made to show the technique. Thank you!

Outstanding, perfect angles, perfect definition, really really helpful! Thank you!

Incredibly beautiful, bewitching, breathtaking and inspiring sight !!! You are a real master !!! Thanks for the great video !!!

I have been trying to get this down for days. This video is exactly what I needed to see how I’m doing it all wrong. This video is a diamond in the rough for pendulum instruction.

This has to be the best video I’ve seen for pendulum casting perfect from all angles

Great vid. Really shows the loading process well.

Thank you very much. I see my flawed throws and this shows me how I can effectively cast.

Absolutely Art!!!

Great vid, really shows each stage of the cast well and what the weight is doing.

It’s is a blending of a discus thrower and baseball batter. The left foot and hip are like a block while the last has the style of a swing.

I generally will have even fixed spool of the but then use my extension for in the stand if fishing when not on the field with my zipplex or conoflex.

SOLID EXAMPLE... THX👍

I have been watching videos and good pendulum casters for years but this is by far the best I have seen if I could cast like that lol . I barely do a ground cast and a short Hatteras cast sometimes , understand I fish in Florida and is rare not to have people walking around is too dangerous.

Not sure what "angle of attack" means, but aren't fixed spools getting popular for beach fishing over there in the U.K.? I recently switched to a multiplier, but don't see much of that any more in the British surf fishing videos on KZread.

@@mtuers The trend has moved towards fixed spool reels with massive rods but they dont pendulum cast they just use a 15 foot rod and shock leader. maybe 'swing path' is a better way of saying it rather than 'angle of attack'. Fantastic video anyways. So clear in HD. Good job

You should check out some of the videos of tournament pendulum casting. Some guys can hit over 200 yards easily

How do you not use a casting glove 🤔

You must have finger calluses of steel trying that cast method without a casting trigger on a spinning rod. After numerous finger cuts I found out you can get something called a "casting trigger" on ebay for around $11 which holds the line tight for you during casting. They helped tremendously to ensure I get 100% of my casting power without losing a finger!

Do you need a stiff rod tip for such a cast? Because the rods I have 15 footers meant for beach casting have a Medium action

@mtuers

4 жыл бұрын

The rod in this video is an old fiberglass rod for the U.S. market, pretty generic, medium action. It worked just fine while I was learning and I can cast it about 120 yards. Once a caster advances and becomes more serious about it, they might look for a rod with a fast action: almost rigid butt section, a stiff and powerful mid-section, and a soft tip. Note: with a medium-action rod, your cast should be pretty fast throughout. When casting a fast-action rod, slow way down until you hit the punch-pull point and speed it up.

Awesome video ! Have you estimated the top speed (and acceleration) of the weight ? I heard of 200 km/h. Also what is the music/soundtrack ?

@mtuers

3 жыл бұрын

My 150 yard casts hit the ground after a 5 second flight. So that's 60 mph on average over the ground... except that the lead travels in a big arc, and the speed decreases over time. You do the math. 200 kph upon release sounds about right. Music is "Lis" by a German ensemble called Wermut.

Thank you. It was an 11' old fiberglass rod, throwing 3 or 4 oz. I'd actually refer you to my videos from the past year or two for much better examples and much better equipment, too.

This video showed me just how wrong I've been doing this cast.

I'm jus curious. But with this cast. Are you manly throwing plugs and lures or are you using cut bait? I have attempted to use this cas with shrimp. And it just comes right off. I always able to use cut bait "fish". Though. Thanks

Maybe one day with enough practice I'll be able to finally get this down.

What is the reason for pulling your right hand to your ear ? Just seems that you are lose in ark or is that the best way?

@mtuers

5 жыл бұрын

You're right... at this stage in my learning I was chasing the backswing too much with my arms. Not sure about losing rod arc, but it definitely caused control problems. I've heard two trains of thought on arm position during casting: one stating the arms should be kept straight; the second that the right arm should be bent as if preparing to throw a javelin (what I was going for in this video, but overdid it). It seems to me that keeping one's right arm straight prevents any real "punch" action during the power stroke.

Can you do this with a popper?

That's one floppy rod, the whole top half of it overshoots a lot doesnt it, and then wobbles back and forth a bit at the end of the cast. If you was using a multiplier i reckon that would cause you a lot of over-runs. If that was a rod with a crisper action, id say thats a cast that would get you some seriously good distances
