Great video! It’s helped loads. One question, why do you raise the rod tip before the lead hits the water? I see everyone do it but no one seems to explain it. Thanks.
He's hitting the line clip on the reel. Bringing the rod tip back or to the side and holding a looser grip just before the line hits the clip will cushion the impact and lessen the likelyhood of the lead springing back away from your mark.
It's sad that here in the states the only ones talking about long distance casting are surf fisherman. But there are many of us that want to be able to cast as you do on lakes and slow moving rivers to get our baits out into the deep holes where the big cats hang out, like the big flatheads. Your delivery to those spots is what we need. My question is can it be done with the 10 to 12 ft catfishing poles we use that are a bit more beefier than the slimmer ones you are using, not by a lot but ours are heavier. I currently fish in a small, in town public fishing lake. Most fisherman if they catch any at all catch some pan size channel cats which are fine but as long as they have been stocking this lake with catfish I know there are some big ones out in the deep middle of the lake. Your advice would really help this old man do better. Thanks in advance. Kirk n TX.
Yes you can but you need to make sure whatever rod you are using is rated for heavier weights/baits. I have used bass rods to sling out heavy pack baits & catfish bait. The bigger 10-12ft would help a lot if you want to cast deep/further(40-100+yards)
How far can Darryl reasonably cast a spomb? Would be great to get an instructional on long range spombing. I can cast a lead 120 yds just but I'm miles off with the spomb... cheers.
@@chrissmedley3418 I can understand that mindset, when a hobby becomes a job it is often tainted. I can not help but be curious still. How many sponsorships has someone of your high caliber turned down?
4 wraps min do 6-8 allows for chopping off the tackle end then from to the tip down to the spigot. That's roughly where you should have it when you cast. Use a back to back grinnler 10 turns for braid to braid.
Id say that's fine it depends on the distance your casting and lead weight. I've used 50lb straight through for a 6oz spod chucked over a hundred yards. It's only for the force on the cast. Most use a 20lb braid or 15lb mono main with a 50-60lb leader but technique is number one look up tournament casters for the best idea of chucking leads You can get tuition to. You can use whiplash as a leader 150m 60lb of that is a few quid more and is more economical than 20m of armacord you still need to feather down on the cast to stop the float from getting tangled on entry to the water armacord alone won't stop that hamidi told me himself.
Sod that. Give me margin fishing under ya own feet any day....LOL That method would cost me a small fortune in end tackle as well as taking out half the trees on that island. Fare play to those who do it though.
Depends on the rod and lead your using, I use a 13ft 3.5 rod with a 4oz lead and have 4-6 turns of shockleader on my reel and then a full rods lenth of it to.
TjDolHaus86 it wouldnt be hard to get it 100 yard but ill give you the signal is only rated to 100 feet so 110 yards wich isnt great but iv not had problem yet, i only use it to see what depth there at
A wrap is 3.90meter with a 13 foot rod 3.6 meter with a 12footer 3meters with a 10 footer and 2.9meter with a 9 footer not that hard man use ur brain a little
DickOswald ....Your wrong. A wrap is the distance between two distance sticks. I know anglers that place their distance sticks 6 yards apart. It's a little trick used to confuse prying eyes . A wrap can be any length you choose......usually the length of a standard 12'carp rod.
Just to enlarge on that, a friend of mine has been giving me the heads up on spots for ages now and viva versa and it turns out that he bought his distance sticks on eBay with rings and string and the string is only 11'6'' long 😂😂😂😂. Work that out, that's a lot different if your expecting his wrap to be 12' long. Over 20 wraps that a difference of 10' 🤓. I've had to adjust all my records in my little black book to suit. Also I never use string, just measure it out with my Spod Rod.
@@Kingcarparpeggio "you're* wrong" first of all and second of all im exactly saying what u're saying maybe learn to read more understanable before u talk rubbish it depends on the rod lengt u're using i've never understand why we did not take 10feet as an example because its the easyest to remember
Absolute Quality Bro, easy to understand and very well presented. I learnt a lot from this video. Thank you 👍
Love the boat in the background 😂
😂🤣😂
Im at 100 yards with a 3.25 test. However i must need to step up as i worry my rig and hook link are fishing
I still don’t have a clue how to do this and I’ve fished for so long 😂😂
@JOHN DOE
I'm sorry you are such a unhappy person
Top skills Pecky 🎣
Darell peck the master at work!!! Great Video pal... good footage by the team as well !!!
Nice video thanks

The easy way to fish the far bank is, move to the other side of the lake.
He’s not fishing to a bank is he.
Boss is right

I had a similar problem bro try the midi spomb bruv you can get them flying mate
Can your list the equipment used like the reel and rod thanks great vid
Gear doesn't replace skill
and the boat.
Quick question. Why has the boat @ 4:58 got a couple pf rods leaning against it ? Is it also used for distance fishing ?
I have the Korda spod braid with 30lb shock leader and cracked off at just 10 wraps! What am I doing wrong ?
Knot probably or use 50lbs leader
I like long casts why not try a 15" surf rod w/ 20 lb braid with 4 or 5 oz and a pendulum cast 100 + yds no problem
long range to me is over 120 yards , i were doing this with my century NG rods with a pva bag
@JOHN DOE pva bag about the same size as a golf ball
Who's sponsoring you?
@@mastodonseven no one as I'd rather keep my fishing to myself than be a korda or nash etc bitch

I can understand that mindset, when a hobby becomes a job it is often tainted.
I can not help but be curious still.
How many sponsorships has someone of your high caliber turned down?
@@mastodonseven why do I need to be sponsored or turned down sponsorship
What was your rod brand mate?
Will a carp rod cast further then a surf rod?
No
Depends on whos using them.
No chance !
I learn of you
The American in me can understand the gear he is using!
What length of leader do you use to attach to the braided main line??
marc Brewster i have always been told that you have a 6 ft drop from the tip, running through to at least 3 times around the spool.
4 wraps min do 6-8 allows for chopping off the tackle end then from to the tip down to the spigot. That's roughly where you should have it when you cast. Use a back to back grinnler 10 turns for braid to braid.
Ok I've got 40lb braid, I only use it for marker float & leading around do I need a leader with this?
Id say that's fine it depends on the distance your casting and lead weight. I've used 50lb straight through for a 6oz spod chucked over a hundred yards. It's only for the force on the cast.

How long should my Arma Cord Leader be?
6 turns on the reel plus the drop on the lead.
Wonder if this rig would work for stripers
as long as you are smarter than the fish anything works remember the fish can't see you
Sod that.

I like fishing close in mate but sometimes you have to do the big casts if the fish showing far out in the lake.
I do like a bit of honesty 👍
Most people just try to convince strangers what experts they are...
How much leader do you use ?
Depends on the rod and lead your using, I use a 13ft 3.5 rod with a 4oz lead and have 4-6 turns of shockleader on my reel and then a full rods lenth of it to.
do you do any lessons for casting
mark hutchinson will do casting lessons and hes one of the best in the busines. Just drop him a pm on FaceBook.
@JOHN DOE shutup you tit
He does do lessons, but charges... even family friends.
@@mastodonseven you must be family friends with everyone
@@scottstrotten4563
It's not exactly a claim to fame or anything just being around the same city, chelmsford
English plz?
Casts the most aero dynamic float and claims long range 😂
Its 2018 just put a deeper fish finder on
1) Good luck getting it past 100yrds
2) Good luck getting a signal once you're there
TjDolHaus86 it wouldnt be hard to get it 100 yard but ill give you the signal is only rated to 100 feet so 110 yards wich isnt great but iv not had problem yet, i only use it to see what depth there at
Bill Oddy I agree that 100 yards is achievable but 120 is a different prospect altogether. For some things the old way is the only way
@@DjDolHaus86 oldskool beats the new..👌💪😎

Whats all this wraps rubbish, just talk in yards or metres.
poppypoopapie dude carp anglers have mostly been talking in wraps for years now
