Another casting debate.

[john/r]

think it was on wsf forum i put a thread on casting sect this was a couple of yrs ago if people thought a flat pendulum was more dangerous than high pendulum when fishing.
at the time i prefered flat swing for type of rods i was using and i never seemed to smash the lead into the beach.

got a mixed reaction as some thought the finish on the cast on both high and flat swing were exactly the same others thought flat swing more dangerous as rod was in flatter plane longer


another bit of useless info i suppose maybe no bearing on thread.

not useless at all john but i think the flat arc is more dangerous than the high swing, but the high swing is more prone to hitting the deck while coming round with the cast

even if you are the safest caster about, it would not matter if there is a nick in your line, that fact alone makes casting dangerous, thats why when other people about is to be extra careful when casting, the snap off of can happen to all ,and go just about any direction

Each to there own casting styles..

End tackle needs to be up to the job.. I use 100lb leaders and rig bodies. I dont use swivels but Big Oval Split rings for attachments.

I always go on the right of lads that are in close proximity even when lobbing and would always give the lad next to me enough room as I could to cast..

Common courtsey really.

What really gets my **** though is the lad that turns up next to you and puts his tripod right next to you where your casting from!
