Thanks for your earlier answer. Living in Kerry long distance casting for fishing is not usually needed but handy sometimes on Inch or the Brandon beaches.By the way are you related to Phil McCrackin ?
Regarding tournament casting ,I used to have access to a sports field with nice short grass for practising my otg casting, but since moving to Kerry and catching the casting bug again ,the only fields around for practising are a little rough.I've tried laying polythene on the ground but the lead still catches.
A full pendulum looks hard to master and to me, looks over complicated .I've been trying something like what Danny Moeskops does(but half the distance) but I'm so rusty my timings way out. Practise,Practise ,Practise.
thanks for your replies
