Neil, your best bet would be to call Sea Angler. They have a network of casting instructors all over the country who will be able to sort you out. They will give you the numbers of local instructors who will be only to pleased to check your equipment and teach you how to cast properly. I wouldn't be surprised to see you double your cast within an hour or two. Hope this helps,Jonesy

This video is great to watch mate, but don't go out and start trying to band pendulum casts out, without speaking to Bob Collins or sum1 similar first !!! The only extra distance you'll be gettin is the distance travelled to the tackle shop to buy more line after you reels explode !!! Lol...
Definitely worth dropping a PM to ARC ! Aka Bob Collins. Top bloke !!!

 

[neil9629]

Bob was kind enough to get in touch with me, i exploded my reel at jarrow last week, but i had knocked mags off when reeling in, and yes the other 8 people who were fishing saw everything !!! Lol

 

[garry36]

Neil you should of kept them basiars lol

 

[BestNest]

If your using a slidey! That happens! Gotta try get in habbit of checking. Although I don't ! Ha

 

[neil9629]

Garry i loved them basia's, no way would i showed them salt water

bestnest, after my reel popped, i check all the time now !!!

 

[Codcodcod!]

I thought you carp boys could chuck a lead!

 

[neil9629]

Think i could get further with my old carp stuff, than with 6oz of lead lol

I, it just takes 1 good explosion and it sharp sinks in!!! Lol....

 

[codcatcher3000]

i use a bit of blu tack to keep the slidey in place. very rarely adjust my 525 slidey to be fair hence the blu tack works for me ,.

Mags

Mags

ABU 65 mag,when ABU came up with this reel they never gave a thought to RH casters using the reel in the low down position.
I've used this reel and did the same, as you grip the spool your hand pushers the mags to off.
If pendulum casting even if you look to see mags are set correctly as you start to move and put the power in you cant stop pushing the mags to off.

In the end I did away with the mag slide
