Super User SPEEDBEAD. Posted January 25, 2011 Super User Posted January 25, 2011 I really like to skip plastics with a spinning rod, can't do it with a baitcaster. Pitching jigs is tied for first in my "favorites." Big baits? Two-handed, overhead He-man casting. Quote
Super User bassfisherjk Posted January 25, 2011 Super User Posted January 25, 2011 Mostly side arm,but I do all the others also.Depends on the conditions. Quote
big t 4488 Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 side arm cast or 3/4 with a crankbait Quote
NBR Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 Regardless of bait casting or spinning. A little roll cast unless I want super distance or accuracy then over hand. Quote
Nick Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 Next time you are out, think of the motion you would use to throw mashed potatoes off a fork. Use the same motion casting overhead. Quote
B-Dozer Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 Sometimes what is easy to do, is hard to explain. People going from spin-casters or spinning reels have a tendency to snap with their cast. We all know what happens next. Quote
B-Dozer Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 Besides, what wrong with a food fight? ;D Quote

Fat-G Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 Pitching to or around standing timber with a 1/4 oz. Rage Craw or Hawg, unpegged, 50# PowerPro. Hold on man. They tear it up. Quote

I.rar Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 baitcasters i like to side or roll cast. spinning i like to pitch or overhand and feather the bait down. i fish from shore so it really depends on how much room i have on what side of me... i still cant cast with my left hand. Quote

Try backhand. Use your right hand, over your left shoulder, or left side. When you fish from shore it seems like there's always something in the way. Quote

That's definitely something i gotta work on. My buddy'll slide a jig under a dock using a backhand cast with his phone in his left hand. It's ridiculous. Quote
BassThumb Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 Whatever cast gives me the best chance at a fish. Quote

It's ridiculous. lol , nice. i do some back hand when i have to. im not as accurate , but i can make some fishable casts. Quote
Hamby Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 It's definitely nice. He's a lot stronger than i am, so that probably also helps. Quote
banned-for-spamming-0923874 Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 side arm skip with a spinning reel 8-) X2 My favorite by far skippin my heavy salt baits under docks, willow trees, brush and anything I can find that most fishermen fish just the front of I fish the back of. Quote
Hamby Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 Yup skipping is right up there with pitching for me. Quote
Gangley Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 I mostly use a side cast with spinning gear. I am still trying to perfect using a baitcaster, so I overhead cast most of the time. I find it much easier to side cast with a bait caster. I tend to either shoot the lure straight into the water or get a backlash when trying to cast overhand with a baitcaster. The most overhand I will go is at about a 45 degree angle to the horizontal plane. Quote
cBooms@SML Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 like KVD haha no joke, i like the way he flings it a mile out over head and on the side. i play baseball so its kindddd of like swinging lol. i need to get better with pitch and stuff. and i cant skip with a bait caster for my life. how do you guys do it? Quote
ILfisherman Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 Whats your favorite way of casting? I prefer the pitch and the roll cast/spinnerbait cast. I hate over head though, I just cant seem to get the timing down. What do you guys like? Next time you are out, think of the motion you would use to throw mashed potatoes off a fork. Use the same motion casting overhead. ^^^good advice. You gotta "whip" it. Quote
