Which one :lol: Look for videos by Distancefading (Lee) on youtube, it features all the top dogs on the Irish casting scene and like bigballs says a lot can be learnt watching the big boys in action.Also ive found Tommy Farmers videos on youtube very helpfull.

best advice is to join a club pal... but I watched tommy farmer videos on youtube at the start and they give you a good base for the ground cast

hi fagan, heres the beast

come down to the sportcastireland tournament at newtownmountkennedy this coming sunday if your able, there's a small ten euro charge for day casters, if you want to know anything about distance casting, this is the place..

like the lads said above, there's plenty of utube stuff, tommy farmer is really good for getting the basics right, as is old school-john holden--loads of vids there

type in utube-sportscastireland and you'll find plenty of our club casting vids from here and overseas competitions or as sod said above-my own channel-distancefading which has basicly the same
only reel men cast!
