Great tips! Casting has always been the worst aspect of my fishing, hopefully your guide here will help me improve. Thanks guys!

[@Timbo5553]

Never knew about the line clip just thought it was used for holding the line when you pack your reel away 🤦🏾‍♂️

same here :D

[@fishingtutorials]

Glad to hear you learnt something new! Thats cool!!!

[@expomm]

Me too! Great tip on the clip

[@lukerock1]

Same here lol! Every days a school day

[@kf8575]

Thats all i use it for, as far as casting distances goes, i feather the line with my fingertip rather than chance the line breaking

[@markvanheterve6955]

Big up's once again boy's ! i just love to see this stuff what gets on here with the small details what some people alrdy know like my self , but i still get the same excitement by watching it !!! that is just how good the contend is what you 2 lads are putting up +1 and like always a day with out fishing is a day not lived

[@fishingtutorials]

Thanks Mark! Yeah we just want to help people where possible! Most people will know lots of these things, but for others it can really help! Tight lines mate!

[@rk28984]

Excellently explained, it took me years to figure everything out you said in this video but after using all these skills it improved my fishing massively!

[@beetybabe]

Excellent video! 👍🏻 There seems to be lack of tutorial videos on this subject online, which really baffles me. Well done lads!

[@joshrose2265]

I started fishing 2 years ago and I found you guys very early on in this. I love your content alot and you have given me so many tips and tricks in helping me progress so thank you for that. Would love to fish with you guys one day would teach me so much. Thanks again guys you really do help alot of people

[@fishingtutorials]

That is awesome!

You‘re simply the best! Tight lines and best regards from Germany!

[@clivehewitt9254]

Thanks Alex this the only you tube vlog that explains the measuring stick sequence, well explained learned a lot well informed by you, great information from beginning to end. Thanks you stay safe guys and best wishes always, tight lines 🎣🎣🐟🐟

[@merryboys2579]

Your channel is very informative and your presentation style is relaxed and friendly. Keep up the great content!

[@selena3125]

I decided to look into fishing videos since I'm teaching middle schoolers how to fish. Since I have to make fishing a game, I knew I needed to watch some videos on how others fish. This video has helped me find cues (signals) for them. Here for cues instead of advice, haha. However, keep making videos. I really enjoy them. Thanks mate!

[@michaelhills1063]

Thanks for all the tips guys, watching the vids for a while now.

[@bennorrisfishing177]

thanks carl and alex this helped so much for when i go match fishing

[@liliandthecoolstuff]

Fantastic video, learned a lot. Can't wait to try this out. Thank you

[@thunderinthenight13]

Yep, this was very well done. The graphics, animations and slo-mo's all really help me visualize the clear instructions. Gold.

[@fishingtutorials]

Thank you so much!! We tried hard to show things clearly, but it was difficult as we don't know much about graphics and stuff. We drew the lines on with the paint brush tool. haha!

[@truckinghell1655]

Great video again lads for a beginner like myself keep up the good work

[@leevermiglio8701]

[@fishingtutorials]

Thank you!!

[@quazikabirulislam136]

Just outstanding!! Too much informative.

[@NairdA1983]

Definitely the best and my favourite channel 👏👏💪💪

[@kallennewick1350]

Hey Carl and Alex, I hope you see this! I’m a long time fan, been watching you for years. Could you do a video on once you have casted out, explaining sinking the line, winding in a little, setting the rod on the alarm, perfect bobbing set. One thing I always struggle with, is how much to reel once casted to sink the line. Thanks. Amazing content as always

[@alexhughesuk]

I just asked this very question, (should have scrolled down 🙈) I couldn't have said it better myself. I have heard so much over the yrs as to what should be done with your line once you've cast out, would be nice to finally put this one to bed and get something definitive on the subject. Tight lines 🎣

[@terryblush]

Great video and very informative guys. This’ll help a lot of newer anglers 👍

[@fishingtutorials]

Hope so! Cheers :)

[@paulfreer1302]

Your best one yet. That's the best casting vid I have seen. Simple precise accurate. Well done from an olld guy.

Thank you Paul! Appreciate it!

[@woodstar31]

[@Zombie-fb5zf]

As always out of five tutorials I’ve watched on you tube this is by far the best and most informative

[@fishingtutorials]

Thank you mate :) Glad it was helpful!

[@kf8575]

Since starting carp fishing aswell as beach fishing last summer, have found that casting accuracy isnt such a problem for me. What ive had to get used to is scaling down the distances lol. Have been in the habit for the last 20yrs of going (half of the time) for maximum distance with 6oz leads and bait, using a pendulum cast 😀

[@Gus70H]

Superb - clear and precise

[@Shivaziv]

Thank you very much for the video. Can you please make a video on how to cast a spring feeder or a flat feeder with larger weight? Thanks again, you're the best guys!

[@bobby8961]

Thanks for the tips, very well presented. If you hook a large fish that makes a run and your line is through the line clip, how do you avoid a break off?

[@lsoutdoors2354]

Great tips I wonder why y'all used the line holder on reel

[@hodsonstreets]

Brilliant as always. As a novice this was a great help. Can I ask for advice on effectively putting rod into the rest and fishing slack, semi-slick and tight lines. I’m always concerned I’m not sinking the line properly or moving the led. Any advice would be great

[@joemean4326]

take the line in your fingers and dip the rod in the water, dont put bobbin on until the lines had a good sink

[@dritchie9417]

Great video, I’m only 13 and haven’t been fishing long, so this really helped👍

[@fishingtutorials]

Great to hear! :)

[@danieltimmins2995]

Can u do a vid on casting bread free lining coz I just can’t we’ll u don’t have to but it would help quite a lot I think. Keep up the good vids anyway I don’t want to hassle you 💖

Thanks Daniel! We'll try and do that soon! :)

[@tsgsam6211]

Can you do a video on what you need to catch pike plz . These videos are amazing

[@fishingtutorials]

We'll try and do that at some point yeah!

[@dan8778]

Great video Alex! The only thing that confuses me about clipping up for better accuracy is how is the fish able to take line off the reel when they bite, either the fish would feel the weight and spook or your rod would fly off your alarm, any advice on that?

[@poziloc]

Brilliant, know I see why i always had my rigs tangled around my lead. Just cast and let it hit the water! Ok, just stop it just before. Does the weight of the lead and type of rig make a difference?

[@Shrek-qe4ww]

FINALY SOMEBODY WITH GOOD EXPLANATION, THAT KNOWS WHAT HE IS DOING, FINALY.. (Ps. like and sub to this man now)

Love the vids, what rods have u both got?

[@Stuffofmyown]

Really useful cideo

[@fishingtutorials]

Glad to hear!

[@zirewindv1x478]

Please can you explain what you should do in the situation of fishing in deep water with spod and fishing rod? Ie wraps for both to make sure your bait is landing over the rigs. Thank you

[@reddeaddaily62]

Great video (y)

[@aaronhayes8429]

My casting is mostly spot on, still getting a bait boat tho 😎

[@roberthynes8248]

Another great video lads very informative . Quick question I sometimes fish a local lake that is 4 ft deep (man made back in the 17th as a manor lake) any advice on how to feel the bottom?

[@burntshrimp9544]

Robert Hynes get in & feel it with your hands

[@rokhnroll]

Goods stuff lads just passed this guide on to the father in law as he is working on his casting.

[@raybriggs4529]

Hi Guys. Very, very good video, I would like to know, if you can tell me, a lot of the time my cast's go to the right, (i am right handed). How can i correct this please. Many thanks Ray.

[@RiceEater-xt9uy]

This is something I struggle with. Thanks so much.

[@fishingtutorials]

Tight lines mate :)

[@RiceEater-xt9uy]

😊 thanks.

[@azaz...]

can i ask you a question about clipping up please ? I'm a beginner so I'm trying to get the straight , if i cast out with a lead weight and marker float and find a spot i like i clip the line on to the spool , reel in, then with marker sticks wrap around the sticks , remember how many wraps then transfer that number to the rod I'm going to fish with then clip that line to the spool , ok, so i cast out hit the clip let the lead go down and I'm fishing , so then do i take the line off the clip because if a fish bites the line won't come off the reel, right? if a fish bites and i land it do i have to go through the process of wrapping around the marker sticks overtime the rod comes out of the water? i hope this makes sense and i know its long winded, many thanks for your help.

[@alexhughesuk]

Hi Alex and Carl, fantastic video just what I've been looking for thank you so much.. One quick question (not sure the answer will be quick 😋) can you provide some insight on what should be done with you line once you have made a cast? Do you dip the rod to sink the line? Open bail arm walk back to rod rest and sink line for 5 minutes etc... Heard so much over the years but nothing that definitive. Would really appreciate your view. Keep up the great work, tight lines lads

[@PI7ABR3D]

Great question even though it's 2 years ago. I dip the yip and tweak the line. I don't see the point in leaving it if you are using a bobbin as your going to put tension on the line so it will find its way anyway.

[@alexhughesuk]

@@PI7ABR3D thanks for the reply really appreciate it "the more you know" :)

[@bklaus319]

i thought i was the only one who holds the rod in my left hand i wasn't expecting you to do it the same haha

[@svenphilippen9190]

Always great tips and much simpeler than all those fisherman who are selling you brands

[@fishingtutorials]

Glad to hear that, cheers Sven :)

[@StevieDCarpAngler]

Some of the best people in the world are left handed. That’s why there are so few of us........ we’re special! That’s what my mum always said anyway. Great video guys.

[@fishingtutorials]

hahaha

[@brumbrum0103]

Can you also do This with Lures?

[@nemo_omen]

Had no clue what clipping your line meant until this. Thank you. Heard it before but from US nobody uses this here.

[@fishingtutorials]

Glad to help you learn! :)

[@RMinkjunkie]

Please can you do a video how to tie braid leader/snag braid to spomb braid and how much to use ect? My first attempt last week it cracked off on 5th cast so my know was obviously pooor. Thanks

[@a_terminal2429]

Glad to see I’m not the only left handed one. Lol.

[@craigrickett6156]

Great video gents

[@fishingtutorials]

Thanks 👍

[@fozzyfishing7676]

Do you leave the line clip on even when getting a bite or do you have to take it off before you place in the alarms?

[@millwallfan06]

Thanks guys, think i wasn’t following the rod through and stopping while the rod was vertical pointing at the sky rather than bringing it round further and having it point toward the front trees

[@darrenirwin8310]

Did you both fish a lake in Highbridge Somerset a few months back

[@davidsheehan8860]

Just started to fish and I love your videos. The one problem I have with casting is a load of line coming off the reel after the float has hit the water, what am I doing wrong.

[@fishingtutorials]

It could be 'over-spooled' as in too much line on your reel. You could also put your finger on the spool just before your bait hits the water to stop anymore line from coming off. Hope this helps!! Thanks David, all the best with your fishing :)

Finally understood how these stick things have to be used... Thanks :)) Same with line clip - I was like "oh crazy I never saw that before" :D Before I clicked the video I was like "I know everything but let me have a look at it". :DD Have a good time.

[@fishingtutorials]

Glad we could help!!

[@daveshaw5293]

When you wrap up do I do a figure of 8 or round and round the sticks?
