x cast

[will powell]

just been reading on another site about it, some people don,t understand what it is ,how it works,what its capable of. developed by mr kieth white from jersey a couple of years ago , the basics of the cast are an aerialised ground cast .almost without saying ,a perfect cast keeping the rod tip leader and sinker trajectory in plane. those who are willing to try it will get a eye opener as regarding extra distance.its works for fishing too. my good mate big dave has made the x cast his own and if records are broken with it ,thats a good thing is,nt it

[BIGDAVE]

Still working on it WILL
It,s easy to time the cast with a strong wind at your back as the lead dont go much above the shoulder
let the lead drift outside the tip as you turn then hit IT hard as you can .
but hit it to soon and you will burn your thumb.
IT,s THE POWER OF THE X

why do most people still do the conventional pendulem when this cast is so good a record breaker?????????

[john/r]

can you imagine watson doing this xcast we already know what he can do with conventional swing in the region of 300yds with the xcast 330yds with 150grm lead as well

x cast

funnily, i can remember a long time ago, some of the lads from the n.east casting if not the same a similar cast. but it did,nt have a title. the other thing that baffles me is, --"aerial ground cast" which is a contradiction in terms unless the caster is up off the ground at the point of delivery
i much preferred baz,s goooooooo-on chukkin style anyway.

take a look at some casting videos of neil kelland if thats not the x cast its pretty dam close and he was the first to hit the magic 300 and hes been doing it for years as have some of the north east casters as bill pointed out

cheers baz, somebody had to say it. i reckon some of these young bucks will be telling us they invented bed- sports next, or that technically they do it better.

yep your right baz kellands style is a ringer of the x type cast,i think kieth borrowed components of it and other styles and developed this particular style.not many people take it on ,why, it will break records i,m sure, give it time.........

[BIGDAVE]

i know its been about years its Keith White that gave it a name Xcast
I used to call it a dead swing or cross tip cast.
in the end there is nowt new but we all do it a little diffrent it what works for me at the moment.
so K.I.S.S. GETS THE JOB DONE.

i remember seeing a south african caster i think they called hi johan borht with a simular cast everthing was as s/african but as soon as his sinker touched the ground he was off like a rocket good distances to mind you he was about 6'8 tall and about the same wide

hi all, and you bazz kelland the magic 300yds but you forgot also to mention very importantly WITH LEAD SIZE 175GRM.
here we go/ dead swing is it not diff to xcast lead comes above head hieght
x cast lead does not come above head hieght
other point- flat pend and xcast whats the diff
