Casting Lessons

#1 Post by Trojan »

As stated above I am looking for casting lessons. I bought my first multiplier reel about a month or to ago i have used it a couple of times with out any great excitement :?, I can cast around 120 with a fixed spool so i can see the multi gathering dust already as with my casting technique i can only dunk it out around 100 max.So like most sports a lessons from a pro is a big step in the rite direction :).Any names or numbers would be great thanks.

Yes infact a few members of Ulster casting club are from near Carrick. We were casting today up north in Bushmills. Every 2 weeks on a Sunday.
There's also a few of us from Bangor area go for a few chucks most saturdays either in the field we have in Holywood or down the beach when tide suits.
You're more than welcome.
