@fox22250 Thanks so much for the tip! Will try that out. I think because I don't have as much space to wind up on the rocks I feel I need to push it a bit more. Will try lengthening the drop and slowing it down.
Thanks again for your help John. Its a good cast which I use for very stiff rods on 4-5oz lead. Alot of potential to develop the cast into some others to suit individual needs. Do you mind posting a video on how you build an aerodynamic big bait rig? Didn't quite get it as mine entangles often.
Hi John, I've been learning to cast a conventional reel with this method and I get it right probably about 75% of the time without an overwind (although not very far, but far enough). When I'm fishing off the rocks I struggle as I can't always lay the sinker down to start off. When I start with the sinker in the air I almost always get an overwind. I know you can't help much without seeing my casting action but do you have any ideas what I might be doing wrong?
Thank you for everything John, a year after working with your method,now I can say : also I do it in this way , easily.

196 yards or 196 feet? I’d like to see the measurement.
He said yard so it's over 500 feet
