Are you using a lead or float, it is easier to practice with a lead.

Re: Practicing my wallace cast
timeing, is all that is needed,,a maximum of 30mtrs of line on the reel helps as the line bedding in can be a problem, practice makes perfect,3grm float weight is about right
Re: Practicing my wallace cast
It's quite strange this Wallace casting lark, I do it with out thinking about it with my Grice and Young jecta and my aerialite but with any of my other pins I struggle.Crucian wrote:I'm not the only one who does that thenPaul D wrote:You could always strip the line off onto your mat.
I'm convinced the combination of a narrow drum along with a line guard (as fitted to my other pins) hinders me but I'm not sure how or why?
