Here's the all-new edition of the classic best-selling guide to practical long range casting. Published in Adobe Acrobat format on CD, Long Distance Casting 2 is designed for on-screen viewing with the option to output to inkjet and colour laser printers.
Unlike any other casting publication, Long Distance Casting 2 includes movie clips of all the important exercises and methods. Not only will you read an in-depth explanation of long range casting, you will see a movie of each important step in the development of powerful off-ground and pendulum styles. Easy Cast, South African, and pendulum styles are demonstrated at full speed and in slow motion. Like the original book, Long Distance Casting 2 cuts through all the hype surrounding tackle and casting methods. It explains why you do not need to spend a fortune on rods and reels, or be a super-strong athlete, in order to be an excellent caster. The methods and exercises go all the way from first principles to expert surfcasting level, encouraging you to develop your own powerful style.
Overview of the CD contents:
1: What it takes to become a good caster
To cast well, first you must know why the traditional methods are so useless. One basic mechanical principle underlies every good style, and you need to know what it is and how to incorporate it into your own techniques.
2: Choosing basic tackle
Why the rod you need for learning should be the equivalent of a slice of ordinary bread. Which reels to choose, and which to avoid. How much advantage do expensive lines give the surf angler? Key safety issues.
3: Setting up your tackle
Loading and tuning fixed spool and multiplier reels. How important is lubrication for multiplier control? Tying leader knots. Safe sinker attachment.
4: Basic methods and exercises
How important are advanced styles such as pendulum? Why many fishermen would do better to use simple methods which still cast much farther than they really need to catch plenty of fish. Casting is based on simple, natural actions which we are born with. Learn more in five minutes with a piece of metal tube than you might achieve in 20 years of struggling with a surf rod. How far can you throw a brick?
5: A simple way to boost power
How you could double your casting power by making small changes in your stance and how you hold the rod. If you can swing a small sledge hammer, you can cast well over 125 yards.
6: Making the most of what you have
Why spend any more time, effort and cash than you need to? With good distances so easy to achieve with the right methods, exactly how far do you need to develop your casting skills? If you are an average surf angler, the answer might be a lot less than you had imagined.
7: Finding extra power - and I mean a lot of extra power
Here's the secret of effortless distance. Why some casters make a huge effort to cast only a little way, while others cast their baits towards the horizon with seemingly no effort. This chapter gets to the guts of real power.
