John thanks ever so much for this vid your style and presentation is superb saled it to me your relaxed attitude and delivery is very entertaining and informative please do more vid on other subject and reviews I have to give you a ten out of ten tight lines
Blimey its John Holden, a name from the past, he was an archer and collaborated with the late Roy Matthews MBE on his arhery book, Archery in Earnest. I can see he is a good caster!
Hi John, I still have your Long Distance Casting book from the 80’s, I guess that’s your trusty reel on the front cover! I was given an Abu 484 when I was 16 and I still fish with it, in fact after trying some modern rods I still prefer it as they feel a bit ‘sloppy’ in comparison. As I understand it the 484 was capable of pendulum casts but it has a solid butt section, so I was just hoping you might be able to shed some more light on what effect flex in the butt has and why it is necessary? I only cast off the ground myself, and I like Daiwa as a brand so have been considering a Sandstorm so might just buy one and enter the modern world!
What was the fixed spool reel you put on the rod please? - I ask, as I have the fixed spool version of the rod and am looking for a reel to go with it.
I have two of the 12ft version of that rod and I can confirm that mine makes the same noise as that. A very tough rod and I’ve ever broken an eyelet in ten years of ownership 👍

Any good for fishing pedulum type casts from groynes or rocky outcrops where groundcasts wont work due to no ground behind where fishing from?😕
