Proper way to cast a fishing rod

[MuskieBait]

Easy cast is basically an off-the-beach. Great in that situation...but if you are fishing rocky areas, it won't be possible. You can adapt the same casting principles and mechanics and use the pendulum cast.

Not as "easy" as they say though...it takes a lot of practices to get the right mechanics...and a well matched rod, reel and sinker weight certainly does help.

As much as these guys are casting 150 yards - 300 yards, these distances are not practical or possible in a real fishing situation (unless you use trolley rig or slide bait rig). Once you put on a chunk of bait on the line, either with some kind of high-low rig or a sliding sinker rig, the added weight of the bait and the position of the bait creates a second fulcrum point...which will cause the entire rig to wobble and even spin...decreasing the aerodynamics and shortening the distance. Just something to keep in mind.
