Stick to a 150gm lead and turn your head early into the cast and look up at 45 degrees into the sky. Done right you will see the lead fly. Hitting the cast at the end helps but real distance comes from technique with body rotation. The brighton cast has only a small amount of this. Have a look on you tube for an example done by Tony Carroll of zziplex he shows this technique really well.  ]]> Tue, 11 Sep 2012 10:36:19 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=82048&PID=1176282&title=controlling-the-release#1176282 <![CDATA[Controlling the release : Had a bait session last night...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=82048&PID=1175465&title=controlling-the-release#1175465 Author: EditB

Had a bait session last night but put a couple of things into place. No tubing on the thumb and looking at 2 o'clock. Basic overhead thump as I couldn't keep the bait and impact shield together Embarrassed Was feeling better about the casts and getting them to go where I wanted most of the time distance will improve over time

Won't be able to make Papamoa, saving brownie points for the ROctober fish at Whatuwhihi
Bethells Club are having a casting day on the 29th Sept @ Kumeu so will head out and see what I can learn there.

I would start with a lighter sinker , it will allow you to feel the rod load and will not stress you out to much if you get it all wrong and remember look at 2.00 o,clock. You will know when things are going good when you can follow the line and sinker though the cast .
If you can get yourself down to Papamoa on the 14th of October the guys will help sort you out.]]> Mon, 03 Sep 2012 17:43:24 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=82048&PID=1172502&title=controlling-the-release#1172502 <![CDATA[Controlling the release : There were no baits this time,...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=82048&PID=1172180&title=controlling-the-release#1172180 Author: EditB

There were no baits this time, just getting my swing in for the casting day coming up. 
Will try that looking above the horizon technique, thanks Neil.

go hard mate- what can go wrong- turn the brakes up if un sure and then back them off when you come to terms the reel and rod- - small baits help as well]]> Sun, 02 Sep 2012 19:46:25 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=82048&PID=1172122&title=controlling-the-release#1172122 <![CDATA[Controlling the release : 12 o&#039;clock being straight...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=82048&PID=1172120&title=controlling-the-release#1172120 Author: Kiwicaster

Most of the time I dont use a thumb strip but have it there for if/when my hands get too wet or cold to grip the spool.


Dont look at the horizon but instead pick a spot @45 degrees up and aim at that. It takes a little bit of time but its no different to learning to cast a fixed spool at first.

Sonik SK3 5-7 oz rod and a Akios 656 SCM- hit the hell out of it - it will tell you when to relase - get rid of the tube thinq and learn to feel the spool- slippage - also the rod should be around the 1-2 pm mark- I'm sure Kiwicaster will correct me]]> Sun, 02 Sep 2012 19:15:18 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=82048&PID=1172111&title=controlling-the-release#1172111
