Why the Easy Cast Works so Well
For all of you who've been asking about the EZ cast, here’s an explanation of what goes on in the background. I think you need to understand the principles behind it in order to do it properly so let's get to it to see why the easy cars work so well let's compare it with the old overhead method that begins with the rod tip held high and the sinker hanging on a short drop the arms do all the work and the body does nothing it's a dreadful way, but most fishermen still use it the rod never bends properly and what little power develops comes right at the end so the tendency is to thrash as hard as possible and the harder you try the worse it gets that wasted energy has to go somewhere though and that's why the real backlash is the easy cast begins with, the sinker on the beach under the rod this maximizes the casting arc and it guarantees that the rod starts bending early which is exactly what you want by turning away from the sea to lay the sinker on the beach your body winds up like a coiled spring low rod tip and high left elbow ensure that the cast accelerates on a long smooth path as the action begins in the spring unwinds powerfully all that energy goes into the rod which immediately bends against the sinkers resistance the sinker lifts from the beach and follows the rod tip at exactly the right angle be slow and steady cast at about half your normal speed modest body rotation 150 grams of lead and a leader drop of about half the rod length or a good starting point,
With experience, you can fine-tune the system for even better performance your arms automatically move into the correct position to push and pull the rods nicely loaded the sink is on the right path and it's moving quickly flick the rod over smoothly and firmly take your time pull a little harder with the left hand the new push with the right line release takes care of itself doesn't matter whether you use a fixed spool reel or a multiplier just let it happen it really is that simple so don't try and complicate the issue just keep practicing get used to the rhythm of it and you'll do fine it should be good for about a hundred and twenty meters with no particular effort but if you work hard and use a stiffer rod 200 meters is on the card so get practicing okay well that's all for me for now if you have any questions about casting feel welcome to post them to me and I hope to see you later.
