love the afaw rods i have the 8 ft mk1 lure rod made in torquay in Devon by Julian sambrook, awesome match sea angler & an even better rod builder, the lure rods are based on the Japanese style of lure fishing with fast powerful tips around £200
Nice casts, but i figure that shimano/daiwa spinning reels are intended to cast with progressive shock leaders ( 0,23mm - 0,57 - in exemple), thinner lines 0,23 and below and LowRider or KW fuji guides...
In the casting reels the the use of thinner/thicker lines will affect the acceleration of the spool, so you will heavy to match them with the weight of the sinker. And i don't think regular shock leaders would affect anything.
I'm pretty competent with casting reels. Abu's, Daiwa, Penn, Akios. I'm the reining and 4 time National Distance Casting Champion and either hold or have held most of the distance records.
This is only good for competition, not realistic for people who use bait at the end of the line. I have been surf casting for 15 yrs off the Pacific and must say that I've never, ever seen any fisherman cast this far or even close, with a leader and bait at the end of the line. I mean no disrespect!
I'm very proud of my casts and have worked on many different types over the years but would love to see any of these people cast in a real situation, i.e with a nice chunk of mackerel or squid
To clarify, the casts demostrated in this video are fishing casts, not tournament casts. There is a significant difference between this and a competetion cast. You are correct, add a chunk of bait and distance falls but a strong surfcaster with the right technique and gear can achieve real world distances of 150-200 yrds.
Competetion casts regularly exceed 750 feet, occasionally well over 800 feet.
I have a Daiwa 12' Sealine Spinning Rod ($60), Daiwa Emcast Sport Spinning Reel (also $60) stocked with 10 lb. mono mainline / 50 lb. mono shock leader, use 3-5 oz. bell sinkers and cast 120 yards consistently with a basic overhead carp cast UK style...
Is this good or bad?
I'm new to this and just getting started and haven't learned any competition style of casting yet.

120 yards for 120 dollars.... not bad at all... :)
Work on technique and 14-150 should be doable with that fishing setup.

Thanks for you input. I am thinking the off-the-ground cast might be the easiest style for me to learn first.
