Who says you can’t teach an old dog new tricks, well I’ve been fishing sixty years using an overhead thump, I’ve always wanted a little more distance and learnt to pendulum cast about forty years age, but didn’t like to use it for safety reasons, I tried your layback cast with a multiplier and fixed spool and it has added thirty to forty yards to my cast, I found it a r3ally simple and smooth cast, thank you.
That is one of the best casting videos I’ve ever seen next to the legend Neil mackellow very informative especially about the lead being outside the tip
Brilliant, I've been struggling with a few things in the pendulum cast for a couple of years and had loads of questions. This has answered pretty much all of them. Thanks, can't wait to give this a go!
Fantastic video! That was incredibly helpful, so thank you sir! I’m trying to pick up surf fishing, and the cast is definitely something I need to practice more. This was a brilliant tutorial, I owe you a drink or dinner if I’m ever across the pond!
Full of little gems The footwork tip, so simple, clear and effective Combined with the "scoop" (it all goes together) this has cured a plague of the classic low rights (almost). The little layback cast is the future , works in a tight spot and trains the end of the cast. As ever practice practice practice, as suggested by the boys " Got to get it outside the tip " Many thanks Gentlemen.
This video is tempting me to crack open my bait gear again, as I've only lure fished for the last few years. Excellent video with loads of tips. Good work all at SAA!!
Awesome video. I still don't think I'll ever master either of these casts, but I certainly will try and thanks to this have a clearer understanding of some of the critical aspects. For years I've been doing a single axis cast I picked up from a buddy who would always hit the distances under fishing conditions. It was effectively an over-the-head cast, but included a back and forth pendulum type swing with one hitting the lead as it moved back. It was certainly more powerful than the basic overhead thump, and we'd be out-casting most on the beach. But I now understand that we were doing precisely what you've explained should be avoided - hitting the lead "inside the tip". Yes it loaded the rod better, but was really only using the tip section. My buddy was a tall strong guy (much more than me), but thankfully neither of us had sufficient power to snap rods with this technique..
Accidentally this is the casting style I have come up when I faced problems like crowded fishing spots, accuracy and longest possible distance. Here, at Greece, the 99,9% of anglers use the overhead cast. Most of them with poor performances. But some "crazy ones" learned a lot about long casting. I am also trying to do so. What my experience thought me is that you can indeed load your rod fully when the lead is out of the tip. Avoid bending the tip. It will snsp eventually. Load the middle and the butt section.
Did a great job explaining. Never seen the explanation of the angle of the line to the rod and where you want to actually cast at. Watching this and practicing. Finally starting to get some crazy distance. Actually had to respool my line when I was out. Started casting the entire spool.
excellent video. back in the mid/late 90s i was obsessed with casting in Fleetwood.got my 240 yard badge officaly emptied a full abu 6500 unoffically. cant do it now tho
Hi, great video, one thing I would like to see is casting with Fixed Spool reels and you to go through the different type of rods and what style of casting they can do?
Well done lads👍🏼 it’s about time there was another good video that is up there with the best that I have watched over the years & I’ve watched a few lol hats off & keep up the good work👍🏼
Best casting demonstration on the tube. I have a fathom casting special. Question; what's the name of the casting trigger you used during the video? Thanks.
Recommendation for a mag reel? For casting, an akios, daiwa 7ht mag or similar 6500 sized reel although the abu's are now crap. For fishing? Penn Fathom Mag II. not enough difference in distance to worry about, but unlike the 6500 sized reels, the Fathom is a relatively indestructible reel. Rod wise? Something you can bend, but a new daiwa sandstorm wouldnt be a bad starting point
Thanks very much, gents. I've watched loads of videos and have started using the pendulum. The casts were explained really well and I found it very helpful in my quest to have the option to cast 150+ yards. I bought the DSCS recently, and really like it, but find I can wrap my thumb around my 6500 mags better. they feel slightly smaller. What do you think? Cheers.
its because the 6500 are a lower profile reel so the spool is actually closer to the rod blank. I have the same problem with my saltists, but i use a thumbie which gives me the extra grip on the spool.
@@adamslack7278 Hi Adam, great video. I'm practising the lay back cast but I'm hooking the cast to left and can't seem to sort it. Is there anything I can try to stop this happening, more rotation to right at the start? Thanks. Brian
Thank you. I'm not an avid fisherman but I've always wanted more dostance...probably everyone's wish. Can you re ommend a 15 foot pole and it's respective reel?
Wish you would paint your lead bright yellow so it would show up better. I’m trying to determine if lead is swinging parallel to the coast line or perpendicular to it. Put another way, is the lead swinging left to right to your right shoulder or back and forth towards the sea?
Hi one of the best videos... kindly advise for pendulum casting should I buy 13ft or 14 ft rod and the suggested reel.i was thinking of AFAW 6and bait mk2. Any thoughts on this and some other good rods is welcome. Thanks
Another great vid lads, any advice on moving from reel up to reel down?I've recently started to go reel down but 80% of the time it nests! I'm obviously doing something wrong! Gets really frustrating on the beach!
Hate to say it Terry but it's practice practice practice. Try that layback, just remember with reel down your left arm does all the work. Make sure you exaggerate pushing your left arm out. Also I used a really safe and slow multiplier to practice with.
@@adamslack7278 thanks mate, gonna keep trying! Yea good idea to slow the reel right down, might save me money on new line all the time!! Thanks for your reply
@@terrynunn3268 I struggle really badly with the reel down too, it just seems so unnatural to me using my left hand to control the reel, I gave up and stuck with the reel up
So just to clarify, if you cast left handed then the swing goes from right to left ( with the cast taking place at the ned on the left hand swing) and not left to right is that correct?
This was an awesome tutorial , I would love to give this a go but iv'e only ever casted egg beater type reels....... I do the pendulum cast and get as much as 200 meters, but I have never casted the type of reel your using..... but I have just brought 4 of them 2 like yours and 2 of the type the americans use for bass fishing...... with your type do you have to thumb the reel as it's going out or do you just do it at the end when it hits the water ??? . I'm 62y/o do you think I can still learn this type of reel....... I know i'm going to have flocks of birds lining up to make there homes in the results of my casting and I will probably need to get shares in a fishing line factory , but do you think it's worth me giving this a go....... cheers from NZ
What's the trigger thing he's putting his pointer finger, on the back of the rod? Haven't seen that on a casting rod. Does it help with kind of feeling the orientation of the rod?
For fishing im now using daiwa saltist 30H at the moment magged. On the field the ultimate casting reels are the zzeta range. But you don't need to spend mega bucks to get a good running tournament reel.
Question !! looking for a mag reel for beach casting east coast, new to multipliers !! mainly clean beaches odd mixed, what's your view/choice Penn Fathom II Star Drag Mag Brake Multiplier or Penn 525 Mag 4 Star Drag Reel, same price !! or something else !! as design and features seem to change constantly.

Many thanks Gentlemen.
A Masterclass video , thank you for sharing , and welcome back , cheers
Awsome video , best ive ever seen actually
Crackin video lads . NOW I know what I'm doing wrong! Thanks 👍keep them coming. . Tight lines
Cast here in the US with Gareth, John Power and Mike Benfield. All good friends of mine.
Thank you for such a great video. The lay-back cast is especially of interest to me. Top job.
Really good watch, plus I have learnt so much. I think I will use the off ground cast for fishing, thanks for that guys.
why using those kind of reels for fishing from the beach and short handle on the rod tho?
Fantastic production guys, everyone can learn from one of the best Mr Adam slack an elite member of the 300 club 👍
This video is tempting me to crack open my bait gear again, as I've only lure fished for the last few years. Excellent video with loads of tips. Good work all at SAA!!
Great bit of information 👍👍🎣

Got taught the pendulum cast as a teenager regularly hit 300yards with it, great video guys
Great vlog as usual. Please keep uploading the videos
Haha wat a crack up nice dry line bro. Great vid fellas !!
Cracking video lads, cheers for that. I’m off fishing this afternoon so will put this into practice!
Crackin` video...concise and clear instruction....time to get some practice in,well done boys
Did a great job explaining. Never seen the explanation of the angle of the line to the rod and where you want to actually cast at.
Watching this and practicing. Finally starting to get some crazy distance. Actually had to respool my line when I was out. Started casting the entire spool.
Yep that one visual alone was worth the watch.
Best tutorial ever. Im practicing pendulum now. Thank you very much guys.
Thank you so much for the video!
Excellent Adam hope to see you down Dorchester again soon
Thanks Boys ,really well explained and demonstrated .I found the pendulum swing was explained very well .I learned from this video ,thanks .
What a really informative video , thanks for sharing your knowledge guys much appreciated 👍
Thanks for the tips and what to look where we may be going wrong with luck one day I will get over that 240m line
Gents, this was a good video. There has been a lot of mystery surrounding the pendulum, but you lads broke it down for us.
Thank you for a great video and great tips, I think I may have found where I am going wrong
excellent video. back in the mid/late 90s i was obsessed with casting in Fleetwood.got my 240 yard badge officaly emptied a full abu 6500 unoffically. cant do it now tho
One of very good efforts!
Great video thanks
iv now realised exactly where I'm going wrong ,cheers guys
Thanks for this vid very helpful! The laid off cast is exactly what I need to learn. Not to interested in a full pendulum for fishing -scares me a bit
Y'all are casting BEASTS! 😳 👏👏
Just mt cojons
Hi, great video, one thing I would like to see is casting with Fixed Spool reels and you to go through the different type of rods and what style of casting they can do?

BRILLIANT
Great tutorial and a great team as always and you guys have helped my son massively over the last few years and has helped me get back into fishing
Cracking video lads definitely know where I’m going wrong
2 words - Thank You
awesome a video congratulatıons like 211
So There is no need to be chest deep in the waves to catch dinner anymore?
Good video, helps to know line size with type of reel being used
Best casting video out there
Good tutorial on this subject … keep doing
Very nice mates ! You could use a golf ball or a tennisbal for following the lead . But I must say I can see it pritty damn good 😀👍👍👍👍👍
Ian Ford, Gareth Davies, lovely fellas 😎
Thunder hole. Some nice wrasse about down there :))
Great job and I'm practicing
These boys are absolute units. They kept getting bigger as the video went on.
Adam slack thank you for this my casting and catching has improved massively....
Best casting demonstration on the tube. I have a fathom casting special. Question; what's the name of the casting trigger you used during the video? Thanks.
its just a thumbie from a bike inner tube mate. hope that helps.
Thankyou, I'm looking forward to improving my casting .
Brilliant video guys I've been fixed spool for yrs and would love a recommendation on my first mag and rod thanks in advance

멋지십니다.. 좋아요 구독 합니다..
Absolutely brilliant video guy's. Mag4 reel? I've got the bruises on my left wrist from the mag knob too lol. Thanks for the great tips.
Flog the Mag4 and buy a Fathom 👌
You’re trying to catch fish in Portuguese waters.
I’m on the beach in Açores and I’m watching a pink fishing weight landing next to me.
What distance do you hit with a tennis ball. Thanks I'm learning.
Great video and what is the knot yous use for joining main line to shockeader
Lovely video
Great video many thanks.Does outside the tip on the layback cast apply to fixed spool casting also?🎣 tightlines
Yeh it does, it works no matter what rod and reel you use.
Thank you. I'm not an avid fisherman but I've always wanted more dostance...probably everyone's wish. Can you re ommend a 15 foot pole and it's respective reel?
I usually just use a old calvary cannon to shoot it out super far!
Wish you would paint your lead bright yellow so it would show up better. I’m trying to determine if lead is swinging parallel to the coast line or perpendicular to it. Put another way, is the lead swinging left to right to your right shoulder or back and forth towards the sea?
Hi may I know what rod you use is it Crosscast Ext, can let me know the rod brand model and size tks
At last a well explained video great job lads 👍
Hi one of the best videos... kindly advise for pendulum casting should I buy 13ft or 14 ft rod and the suggested reel.i was thinking of AFAW 6and bait mk2. Any thoughts on this and some other good rods is welcome. Thanks
Great instructional video gents, will both casts in this video still work fishing reel up?? Cheers
Yes bud, you can cast reel up or down. It's personal preference really. Both work really well :)

Awesome video guys what reels do you use in this video
penn fathom casting special :)
Is it the same when using a fixed spool reel?

how long is that pole 20 foot
Does reel up to reel down make much diffents in the cast?
Hi what's the best fishing knot to users for mono to shock leader please
FG knot - my opinion
You see its really gone out there from the length of time reeling back in...about 10 times longer than it takes me to reel back in : p
Awesome video that just off watching adam, i know am rushing the cast .. makes that look so effortless
What's the trigger thing he's putting his pointer finger, on the back of the rod? Haven't seen that on a casting rod. Does it help with kind of feeling the orientation of the rod?
How long is the rod, 14', 17'?
Really guys i thank you with great regards cause what i did know since then was completely wrong.
Adam, what reel do you use in your excellent video?
its a penn fathom casting special mate.
@@adamslack7278
Many thanks for the information! (I was already worried about not getting an answer 😅)
All the best!
Mantab yes keren ok 👍
Great video..how far is the reel seat from the butt cap??
how far have u lads got the mags let off on the casting specials.i fine mag on full is fine iam afraid let mag off anymore as seem a little flightie
I take them off all the way then 3 clicks back mate
Bravo
Is there a way to cast without having to have your thumb holding the reel the whole time.
No, not until the point the lead is released
Get a piece of surgical tubing put a slit in the piece and put it on the foot of the reel
whats the best reel for casting?
For fishing im now using daiwa saltist 30H at the moment magged. On the field the ultimate casting reels are the zzeta range. But you don't need to spend mega bucks to get a good running tournament reel.

Penn casting special
SL20SH 20 Diawa , not to expensive, older but reliable.
Do you think the newer Daiwa sandstorm is a good rod to use? And is it good for pendulum?
What weight of lead are they casting
