The pendulum cast is the most powerful sea angling cast used today. It generates lots of power with relative ease (when mastered). The top pendulum casters cast over a flat field in competitions and most can reach more than 300 yards.

[edit] Directions

  1. Practice swinging the sinker away from you until it is parallel with the ground, with the rod tip up. Keep the top arm stiff and use the bottom arm to create the swing outwards
  2. You should now start to load the rod. Do not bring the power in too early or you will just shoot the sinker off early or break the shock leader. Bring the power in slow. Start to load the rod. Look towards where you are going to cast and see the sinker out of the corner of your eye.
  3. When you put the power in, it is a combination of a punch with your top arm and a pull in with your lower arm. The butt of the rod should end up just below your rib cage.
  4. Punch and pull.

[edit] Key points

  1. Practice well away from any people or property.
  2. Make sure you have a clear area for at least a quarter of a mile.
  3. Use a shock leader.
  4. Do not bring the power in too fast.
