If you have a spare hour free one day...go down to your local park/grass area and have a practise....I did that with 4 different rods and my spheros with pe8 varivas .....I used a 5 oz torpedo sinker...which i know is not the same as a stick bait or a popper.....I used an 8 foot 3 rod and some 7 foot rods...You might get some funny looks but results might interest you.....A 8 foot 3 rod should cast further than a 7 foot 3 right? well they were about the same for me= 8 foot 3 rocky rod and 7 foot 3 15-24 jelly tip(much stiffer tip)....try a few things...you might find something and no harm is done on dry land.
p.s nice stix by the way.

I tend to hold the rod behind me over my shoulder, rock the lure forward toward me and then when it swings backwards, try to time my forward cast so I'm hitting it as the lure reaches the top of it's swing. Kinda like a mini pendulum but with out the side swing aspect of it. Can punch it far enough to give the popper plenty of skittle time in the water. ]]> Thu, 01 Sep 2011 12:11:30 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=69540&PID=993116&title=casting-technique-max-weights#993116 <![CDATA[Casting technique max weights : How much will they be, Marx?

Obviously not Embarrassed Maybe I should have asked the question quietly to some mates LOL

Yeh Sam the side flick thing was what I grew up with, only been sport fishing and learning from experienced fisherman for just over two years....... so some of the real basics I can can be unsure of unless I ask.

Who cares bro?

Having and practicing different casting styles is a handy skill to have/acquire...The overhead "thump" is what you need to have those lures of yours sailing towards the horizon, Don't let your bait/popper touch the water or rest in the water whilst starting your cast, the drag can be too much. Have seen and experienced this whilst surfcasting...Wade out, start the cast, the sinker dips in the water and the rod tip snaps Embarrassed 

How are the lures coming along? 


Sweet bro cheers for the tips, have definitely found the technique I was talking about before a lot more comfortable.

Dam its been a crazy week getting those lures sorted. My bigger size is 225mm and I've made two. Still have to paint them but at the moment they are 121g so should be very close to 130g once painted. Stoked with how they swim naked and they normally get better once they have a smooth finish! Hopefully have them painted and clear coated by tomorrow night, they need to cure by Monday!

Also done another two 180mm, I've finished one and its 81g.

I think I know what you're getting at Marx, re:spin rod, when you finish the cast the guides are underside, ie right side of the rod, then when you start the cast the guides are facing up thus the rod is bend against its' natural curve, ie breaking its back?
I wouldn't want to be in a rocking boat with someone throwing a popper around using the pendulum cast tho, could end up with some interesting and unique facial peircings Big smile
