Thanks, but a word of warning: this rod was horrible for pendulum casting, and at this stage in my "career", my cast had many flaws. You'd probably do better to search on TH-cam for "John Holden Pendulum Cast" and watch his 3-part series.
A few timing issues going wrong there - - Your lead/bottom hand should be pushing out to bring the lead back, not following it. This will ensure your lead is gradually increasing in speed throughout the entire backswing and into the turning over phase. It is not just a movement to get the lead into a position ‘outside the tip’. - when your lead passes your right shoulder (gaining speed throughout), turn your head, look up 45*; and THEN do a weight transfer from back to front foot, ideally with a step. You are on the way there, just needs fine tuning. You are leading the lead, whereas you really want the lead to, due to centripetal forces, be helping you to load the rod. Hard to explain, but you forward movement should be when your lead is at 180* to target, but wanting to go at 90*, if that makes sense?
Omg 😱 I been looking for @ while for a video like these were u actually see were the weight landed great video 👍 I fish Texas ocean waters I cast far but not like these I need to practice like these thanks 🙏
cool music too im practicing on a 15 and 10 ' fiblink carbon rod with a 3&4 oz with 20 lb braid its ok at the practice place but at the beach I watch my bait fly off in mid air !!!
This video's a little embarrassing. My technique is a lot smoother and more solid now. Speaking of baits flying off, an easy, smooth cast will help with that. Putting all your muscle into a fast, snappy tournament-style cast doesn't work too well at the beach. With some practice, you should be able to put a bait out well over 100 yards without straining yourself or creating enough pressure for baits to come off. (look up John Holden's videos) Also, when it comes to shrimp and soft-fleshed cut bait, I let them sit overnight covered in salt in a tupperware container. This takes a lot of moisture out and toughens up the bait.
Amazing video! Thanks for sharing. Do you find that you need to adjust your pendulum when casting lures, say large spoons with a trailing treble hook, in order to keep from snagging the ground during the build up phase? Thanks again.
I have never cast a lure using long distance surfcasting techniques on a long rod like this. Constantly casting and retrieving a 3 oz. to 6 oz. spoon/plug/jig would wear me out too quickly. For me, rods over 10 ft. are strictly for bottom fishing. That said, with the pendulum cast, the lure shouldn't be touching the ground at all if it's done properly. But even if you're doing a ground cast, as long as the beach doesn't have any big rocks or flotsam on it, there wouldn't be anything for a treble hood to get caught on and it should just pull smoothly through the sand... which is the point of the ground cast: the rig or lure's contact with the sand creates friction and loads the rod for the power phase of the cast.
Thanks for sharing Matt. In New England we use 12 foot rods regularly with Hopkins or Kastmaster spoons in the Summer to hit schools of blues and stripers just offshore as they move down the beach. But you're right tho, you can't cast that sized rod for very long with lures without a break, and I can't manage it as well as ! could 40 some years ago when I started fishing the beach. Thanks again.
C'est très bien mais avec un pivotement du pied suivis du bassin vous pouvez rajouter de la puissance dans la rotation du projectil et sur et certains rajouter au moin 40 voir 50 maître de plus. Bravo pour la démonstration.
Nice video. I have some questions. What kind of rod do you use, and length ? What is the fishing line size? , And what is the weight of the sinker ? Thanks in advance. Regards.
This set up was my cheap "training wheels" for a few years, so by no means ideal for long distances. That said... -1980s 11' fiberglass surf rod, moderate action, 2-4oz. lure weight, New Concept Guide layout (rebuilt Southbend SeaHawk blank) -Tsunami BFR-12000 spinning reel -20lb. test main line, 40lb. test shock leader (both mono) -4 oz. sinker
The big fish(30- 40lbs.) Sharks even bigger if that's your thing, cruise the trough just behind the first breakers from the shore about 20 to 30 yards out!
The line almost releases itself. It's not something most casters even have to think about. After just a couple of casts you begin to subconsciously sense when the rod has loaded fully and is just beginning to unload... and that's when the line gets released.
Excellent video, thanks Matt. 3:13 is just a joy to watch and try and reproduce that motion.

@Sullivan Grey y would I want to look at someone else instagram account .but power to you if u like that 👍
Super 👍✊🎣🐟
Can't see the movement of the sinker nevermind the line!This should be done through animation with the movement of the line and sinker!

please tell me how long your cast with this technique in Meters please
With this rod/reel and at this stage in my "career", at least 110 meters.
The big fish(30- 40lbs.) Sharks even bigger if that's your thing, cruise the trough just behind the first breakers from the shore about 20 to 30 yards out!
True, depending on the beach. On some of NC's low-impact beaches, that first bar can be 100 yards out at high tide.
@@mtuers
Just behind the first set of breakers. If you're wading past your knees you're too far out to cast!
Hai..at what angle should release the braid during the cast
The line almost releases itself. It's not something most casters even have to think about. After just a couple of casts you begin to subconsciously sense when the rod has loaded fully and is just beginning to unload... and that's when the line gets released.
Can I do this cast with conventional reel.?
Of course. It should go a little further that way. This video was from before I made the switch to conventional.
@@mtuers thanks mate for your reply!
Wow... i try
