Pendulum Cast Slow Motion Demonstration

July 2017 long distance surf casting practice in Apex North Carolina

[@ahmetcemiloglu7213]

The one and only video that was properly made to show the technique. Thank you!

[@operarter]

finally someone shows it from the wright angle in HD with well visible weight. Thank you!!! very usefull video!!

[@TonyEnglandUK]

I didn't realise the rod was brought round like that, I've been swinging the lead then firing it from the shoulder.

[@nikospapanikolaou1767]

That’s exactly I would like to mention!

[@RedfishCarolina]

Yeah that allows you to add an immense amount of force to the cast while still maintaining a smooth, clean cast. Twisting your core like that just adds a ton of velocity.

[@alexandergrey5913]

Plenty from the uk to show you also

[@JerseyMiller]

Yes this is great footage. It's difficult to understand how the pendulum cast works through video. I finally get it now after about 5 different video explanations.

[@user-vu1ut3kh6b]

Incredibly beautiful, bewitching, breathtaking and inspiring sight !!! You are a real master !!! Thanks for the great video !!!

[@dermotaughney4907]

Outstanding, perfect angles, perfect definition, really really helpful! Thank you!

[@danielmorris3882]

This has to be the best video I’ve seen for pendulum casting perfect from all angles

[@Gr0m3t]

I have been trying to get this down for days. This video is exactly what I needed to see how I’m doing it all wrong. This video is a diamond in the rough for pendulum instruction.

[@danielfield5764]

Great vid. Really shows the loading process well.

[@Dang3rzon3]

Thank you very much. I see my flawed throws and this shows me how I can effectively cast.

[@corki007]

Great vid, really shows each stage of the cast well and what the weight is doing.

[@matthewrhule870]

Absolutely Art!!!

[@alexandergrey5913]

I generally will have even fixed spool of the but then use my extension for in the stand if fishing when not on the field with my zipplex or conoflex.

[@sarabhabib1003]

It’s is a blending of a discus thrower and baseball batter. The left foot and hip are like a block while the last has the style of a swing.

[@mtuers]

DISCLAIMER: Please be aware that the above video is from 2017 when I had some serious flaws in my technique that I have since corrected.

[@danielmorris3882]

It won’t let me view the video as it’s set to private?

[@Discuholic]

I have been watching videos and good pendulum casters for years but this is by far the best I have seen if I could cast like that lol . I barely do a ground cast and a short Hatteras cast sometimes , understand I fish in Florida and is rare not to have people walking around is too dangerous.

[@mtuers]

Thanks for saying so, but I've actually come a long way since this was filmed. Check out our "Carolina Surf Casters Association" KZbin channel for a whole bunch of slow motion casting videos with all different styles.

[@Discuholic]

@@mtuers Yes , I saw you won the March 2022 class A , with 125g , that is awesome belay congrats.

[@nikitakozlov8380]

best VISUAL tutorial on the internet. It would have been nice to have some verbal explanation though..

[@mtuers]

That's a really good idea. I may have to re-issue this one. I'll narrate it in the style of William Burroughs to make it even more interesting.

[@codling1999]

good video ,plenty angles to check out,i use multi not fixed spool,but also use a longer drop ? tried shorter drop like yours and dont work well for me,each to thier own i think with casting.my weight sits level with reel at base of rod,(reel down butt)long n slow cast

[@josemorua4578]

Great video good casting

[@mlydick]

"If do right, no defense" "Could you teach me?" "First learn stand, then learn fly."

[@gmonkey6523]

fantastic video. The angle of attack is not what people might think. Not seen it done with fixed spool reel like that. Amazing video. Cheers Liverpool UK

[@mtuers]

Not sure what "angle of attack" means, but aren't fixed spools getting popular for beach fishing over there in the U.K.? I recently switched to a multiplier, but don't see much of that any more in the British surf fishing videos on KZbin.

[@gmonkey6523]

@@mtuers The trend has moved towards fixed spool reels with massive rods but they dont pendulum cast they just use a 15 foot rod and shock leader. maybe 'swing path' is a better way of saying it rather than 'angle of attack'. Fantastic video anyways. So clear in HD. Good job

[@lunithespacedragon7197]

I will try that thank you for the video

[@gowrestle160]

cool video. I really just want to launch my bait out past the breakers without having to get waist deep to do it.

[@davidfarrelly412]

You should check out some of the videos of tournament pendulum casting. Some guys can hit over 200 yards easily

[@Mr40tt]

Thank You! Captain Carpman

[@vladmaslo4893]

Шикарный заброс !!!

[@josemorua4578]

Thanks great video

[@johncats5903]

SOLID EXAMPLE... THX👍

[@nengow]

You must have finger calluses of steel trying that cast method without a casting trigger on a spinning rod. After numerous finger cuts I found out you can get something called a "casting trigger" on ebay for around $11 which holds the line tight for you during casting. They helped tremendously to ensure I get 100% of my casting power without losing a finger!

[@nengow]

I think the brand is called hypertackle if anyone is interested.

[@hansemcito]

[@pipesurfer3922]

Awesome

[@markmason13]

awesome

[@christian361]

Maybe one day with enough practice I'll be able to finally get this down.

[@davidsongheng5967]

Awesome video! Very informative! Can you tell us what length of the rod and size weight you're using in this video please. Just need for reference only. Thanks much!

[@mtuers]

Thank you. It was an 11' old fiberglass rod, throwing 3 or 4 oz. I'd actually refer you to my videos from the past year or two for much better examples and much better equipment, too.

[@skyestar11]

I'm jus curious. But with this cast. Are you manly throwing plugs and lures or are you using cut bait? I have attempted to use this cas with shrimp. And it just comes right off. I always able to use cut bait "fish". Though. Thanks

[@cristobalchapa1546]

great video, only one that clearly showed technique from different angles.

[@TonyEnglandUK]

This video showed me just how wrong I've been doing this cast.

[@kthen7162]

How do you not use a casting glove 🤔

[@mikewhite255]

That is so bad ass .

[@kw2600]

Epic!

[@zinkoba821]

The last slow most was the best ... great technique.... Gotta try this.,.. 😏

[@jtrevrb1]

Could u share a breakdown of your set up? Reel, rod length, weight, lb test line? Try to learn this technique. Very cool vid.

[@mtuers]

This video wasn't about distances - more of the form - so keep in mind this set-up is by no means ideal for pendulum casting. -11' custom surf rod, moderate action, 2-4oz. lure weight, New Concept Guide layout -Tsunami BFR-12000 spinning reel -20lb. test main line, 40lb. test shock leader (both mono) -I only used a 2oz. lead in this video so I could maintain the ideal form more easily. Usually I use a 3 or 4oz. weight + bait with this rod.

[@jtrevrb1]

Matt Tuers Thanks. I was curious about rod length more than anything. I am honing my ground cast form for now. But am I interested to pendulum cast some day. Thanks again.

[@orhancabarov]

Nice

[@billhesford6098]

That looks like it would go a lot further just by the right technique as opposed to muscle.

[@spaghettiyeti7097]

Very hard to perfect

[@victoroudit]

Awesome video ! Have you estimated the top speed (and acceleration) of the weight ? I heard of 200 km/h. Also what is the music/soundtrack ?

[@mtuers]

My 150 yard casts hit the ground after a 5 second flight. So that's 60 mph on average over the ground... except that the lead travels in a big arc, and the speed decreases over time. You do the math. 200 kph upon release sounds about right. Music is "Lis" by a German ensemble called Wermut.

[@ralstonraz]

Do you need a stiff rod tip for such a cast? Because the rods I have 15 footers meant for beach casting have a Medium action

[@mtuers]

The rod in this video is an old fiberglass rod for the U.S. market, pretty generic, medium action. It worked just fine while I was learning and I can cast it about 120 yards. Once a caster advances and becomes more serious about it, they might look for a rod with a fast action: almost rigid butt section, a stiff and powerful mid-section, and a soft tip. Note: with a medium-action rod, your cast should be pretty fast throughout. When casting a fast-action rod, slow way down until you hit the punch-pull point and speed it up.

[@triggermoto1683]

What is the reason for pulling your right hand to your ear ? Just seems that you are lose in ark or is that the best way?

[@mtuers]

You're right... at this stage in my learning I was chasing the backswing too much with my arms. Not sure about losing rod arc, but it definitely caused control problems. I've heard two trains of thought on arm position during casting: one stating the arms should be kept straight; the second that the right arm should be bent as if preparing to throw a javelin (what I was going for in this video, but overdid it). It seems to me that keeping one's right arm straight prevents any real "punch" action during the power stroke.

[@marshkingi5339]

Do you have any casting aids or rubber on your finger?

[@kcd2630]

Awesome video . You make it look simple . What distance do you get from your cast . Thanks for sharing

[@mtuers]

See my reply to jtrevrb1's comment below for the equipment I'm using. I can cast a 4 oz. lead 130 to 140 yards with this rod and reel.

[@grantsinclair4840]

i reckon lucky if 80 yards

[@mtuers]

On a beach with a chunk of mullet swinging around separately on a leader, a 15 mph headwind... 80 yards is probably accurate.

[@d.norwich4298]

@@mtuers Good honest reply.

[@nikospapanikolaou1767]

Matt Tuers I believe you can do much better with a zziplex or a century. What type of rod do you use in this video?

[@FUNTIME-ub6rj]

Wow

[@mohdhuzaifahsalleh3093]

If i use life shrimp, will it stay on the hook? What type of bait suitable of this type of cast?

[@chanychin]

Use bait string

[@nicholaspham9466]

Great video of pendulum cast with spinning reel with no finger protection.

[@mtuers]

I think once you get a nice smooth style, finger protection becomes less necessary... although I'd still use it if I were casting heavier weights than the 4 oz. you see here.

[@charlesdixon160]

Yeah was wandering how you manage this without taking you’re finger off. Cast looks awesome 👏

[@Gr0m3t]

I now do this with my 8 ft rods because why the heck not.

[@grantsinclair4840]

you should try it with a stiffer rod, t1000 trc etc

[@mtuers]

Yes, and I bought a more modern carbon fiber multi-taper zoned-action casting rod recently... 12'8", rated for 4-8oz. Oddly, the gains in distance between that high-end rod and the cheap, old fiberglass one in this video have not been huge. Maybe 5 to 10 extra yards.

[@kcd2630]

Thanks for the reply. How long did it take you to master this technique.

[@mtuers]

I wouldn't say I've mastered it, but I've been casually practicing pendulum casting for about 3-4 years now. Very minimal amount of time spent. I'd say someone else could get just a good if they practiced 2 hours a week for two months.

[@nikospapanikolaou1767]

Matt Tuers you are great man?

[@madvtecyoboostin4870]

Rob length? Reel? What lb test? And size weight? Thanks awesome video

[@mtuers]

This set up was my cheap "training wheels" for a few years, so by no means ideal for long distances. That said... -1980s 11' fiberglass surf rod, moderate action, 2-4oz. lure weight, New Concept Guide layout (rebuilt Southbend SeaHawk blank) -Tsunami BFR-12000 spinning reel -20lb. test main line, 40lb. test shock leader (both mono) -4 oz. sinker

[@madvtecyoboostin4870]

Matt Tuers awesome thanks for the reply

[@photocamera9390]

Can you do this with a popper?

[@matttuers7921]

Sure, if it's heavy enough. Using a lure on a rod bigger than 9' will tend to ware you out with all the casting and retrieving.

[@collieer]

I can barely get my bait to stay on lobbing it. How do you keep bait on that

[@mtuers]

For soft baits, I salt them thoroughly overnight to remove moisture and toughen them up.

[@collieer]

@@mtuers I’ll have to try that thanks

[@keep1treal61]

Newbie here. Can this be done with a conventional reel Or is that not recommended?

[@mtuers]

A conventional (non-levelwind) reel is actually preferred among tournament casters. I have since switched.

[@keep1treal61]

@@mtuers nice exactly what I’ve got. I’m going to practice . Thanks a bunch

[@kf8575]

That's one floppy rod, the whole top half of it overshoots a lot doesnt it, and then wobbles back and forth a bit at the end of the cast. If you was using a multiplier i reckon that would cause you a lot of over-runs. If that was a rod with a crisper action, id say thats a cast that would get you some seriously good distances

[@mtuers]

Indeed. I’ve since invested in a proper zoned action carbon fiber rod and cast 206 yards with it in a recent tournament. Back in 2017 I had no clue and was using this thrift store tackle you see in this video.

[@kf8575]

@@mtuers was still getting what looked like some good distance. But 200 plus is nothing to be sniffed at👍👍

[@P8intballEvans]

Never do this cast on a crowded beach ...lines do break and accidents happen ...all you need to do is get the pendulum straight out behind and power through
