Cheers Terry that was very educational, really answered a lot of questions about the sort of tackle I needed for fishing at range. I must admit I’ve been getting it wrong up to now. Top man 👍
Brilliant video Terry, im in the process of tidying up my casting and that has helped me enormously , thanks very much for taking the time to make this video it will have helped a lot of angler's.
Thanks pal .. learnt alot from that cheers pal..I have the cheap shimano tribal velocity 12ft 3lb Rods and I can honestly say they are the best rods I have ever used. Iv had them for a good few years now and they are still going strong..
Terry I think what you have just said is really nice fella... Its all about passing on the information that you have gathered over the years of casting... Really appreciate your help thanks
@@TerryEdmondsUk Cheers Terry. I start carp fishing just after lock down so very new to this indeed... Glad you said that I can only cast to around 150 yards with straight through 15lb monofilament line..
Absolutely fantastic watch Terry , very informative and it gives s good insight into level line casting ,& the gear you use . It would be nice to compare the tapered leader lines that are available now, against normal lines ,in one of your videos to see if they make much difference. Looking forward to your next videos . Tight lines
I use a tapered line when I can not use a braided leader and I find them better then not having a leader but not as good as a braided leader as they are thicker and still have stretch in them.
@@TerryEdmondsUk Cheers for the reply Terry we have a rule on the syndicate I'm on , we have to use tapered leader line if casting over 100yrds and it has to taper from a 15lb main line So we have no choice really
Level Lining just takes me back to the very beginnings of fishing in my youth mid 1970s lol wasn’t really that much of a call for great distance casting unless we as kids visited Reservoirs or gravel pits etc you may or may not be surprised but ledger weights haven’t changed that much over the years apart from lead content fishing line was also limited by thickness as well. Although nowadays I visit my local lakes I today still prefer to fish the margins and on out to around 50 - 70 yards usually out to a island or a basin after feature finding. I’m certainly no big fan of syndicate waters with a list of rules longer than the 10 commandments. Basically common sense and fish care plays a very important roll and I go fishing for pleasure and peace of thought and nothing more. I have learned so much more in the last 10/15 years in carp fishing with the many products and information available. Level lining is old hat but still very much usable if or when needed 👍
Level line fishing has been done forever, trying to cast as far as you can on distance venues that ban leaders and tapered lines is a lot more refined and takes technique and the right diameter lines to stop cracks offs. I agree with most of what your saying but even though it’s as you say old hat the distance being fished level line now is a brand new hat 😂
Great content and advice explained clearly. I found the point about bow in line very interesting as can very difficult to judge! Would b great if you could show how to cast/fish in a crosswind and your set up for ensuring you don't get any tangles. Thanks for the info, much appreciated
Rod length, I’ve done a bit carp fishing but mainly sea fishing for over fifty years, I’ve now gone down the fifteen foot rod and fixed spool with braid road and found a big difference in ease of casting and extra distance and wondered why carp rods haven’t gone in that direction, obviously I appreciate some locations wouldn’t be suitable for a longer rod but a lot would, just a thought.
Great information. For surfcasting/rough ground and targeting big fish like Tope would you recommend a Shimano aero Technium Mgs 14000?? i just think the thinner handles on the big pit reels are not quite up to crancking big fish unlike the thicker power handles of the spinning range. I have been told reels like the Technium have a tendency to bend the main shaft on its furthest oscillation form the reel body when fishing full drags and trying to slow the spool with a hand as well.
Certainly interesting and good advice. I've just had some 12ft 3lb 6oz aviator plus rods made by Nick Buss. 12 ft was the best option due to constraints with swim space, trees etc. Although much of my fishing is quite close in general, the option of fishing the bars, etc further out is why I've chosen these. I know you've used these in the past 😉
I dont mean to be off topic but does someone know a trick to get back into an Instagram account?? I somehow lost my login password. I would love any tricks you can give me
@Ben Ronnie I really appreciate your reply. I found the site through google and I'm trying it out atm. I see it takes quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Like you say if I can I would use a braided shock leader with .32 to .33 line for distance fishing. If I can not use a shock leader I will use a tapered line it just feels so alien to have all the stretch when casting without a leader.
Your about spot on there mate 40lb power Pro without leader will be a good balance. I'm not a huge braid user. But if I was going to use it because of weed etc power pro is a great choice been around years.
Hi Terry, at the moment I have the tx2 în 3.25tc and I want to fish a lake at around 140 meters but not sure if that is suficient I'm allowed to use braided shock leaders so what do you think i should. I was looking to upgrade to the 13ft intensity tx2, tx5 or tx7 just not sure which one hoped you could help. Thanks.
Very informative & you make it look easy. I don't fish at any great distances but what approx comfortable &safe distance should I expect from the following set up.... Basia reel, 0.38 line, 4oz distance lead, torrx 3&1/4tc & a baited rig. Average caster not an expert like yourself, many thanks.
It's been a while since you made this one Terry. So what test curve are you using now on the 13 footers and has the line tech improved with newer options.
Everything here is still as relevant as ever mate. Still out casting/teaching every-week and fishing when I can. 👌 I’m working with Korda and helped developed the Kaizens the 13ft kaizen green is a great level line rod. Tapered mono have come on a lot as well. So a great option
Great information & superbly explained as some people confuse me it’s not hard lol How do you rate the the free spirit ctx 12ft 3.25 & shimano LC bait runners? Thanks again for the videos & top advice 👍🏻👍🏻
Two good brands mate, you will notice that my videos are very simple in many ways. But I want to cut through a lot of confusion and stick to facts. A lot is basic but common sense 👍
Terry, could you go in a next vid a little more in depth on casting strength, and how to build up towards heavy leads plz.I'm really struggeling on long distance casts.Anything over 100m is non excisting for me personal rigged up.When i go on a 100gram+ lead, it feels like i'm fighting myself more then the rods can handle..and accuracy is at that point more a gamble then a fact .I go on some dedicated casting session's from time to time but the 100m mark is like a barriere for me.A 92gram lead goes with ease further then a 112gram..even iff the difference is minimal in weight ,i can feel the struggle within myself.It feels to heavy and i get insecure on the cast. the gear i'm using is a shimano xs1 intensity 13" rod with a shimano black 12000mgs reel/0.35 line with 50lbs tapered shockleaders in general. So the distance issue is 100% operator based i would say :D . thank you. thumbs up mate.
Thanks for the info. I'm fishing a big lake in france, and I'm not allowed to use braided shock leaders,but can use mono shock leaders, there no snags on the lake,so what would be the best set up,in your opinion please? My rods are 13ft 3.5 lbs progressive action!
This is a really helpful video Terry and Hopefully I'll be putting your advice to good use soon but firstly I have a question that I'm hoping that you can help me with. I will soon be on a very large water with a leader ban so have no choice but to use level line casting when needing distance. Now it gets tricky, I'm around 5'8" and about 150 pounds so smallish and I have some hardly used 12 foot Aviator plus rods and ci4 14000 Ultegras but are they too harsh for level line casting and would I be better off purchasing 13 foot TX2 Intesity Shimano Rods. The Aviators are also a bit pokey with a powerful fish at netting time !
Good bit of advice there thank you 👍 if you’re fishing with softer rods say 12ft 3 1/4 would you then be able to drop your mainline down to 0.33 using a 3.5oz lead without the risk of cracking and be capable of reaching similar distances with good technique?
Great video very informative. Question though ... How do you know if a line is pre stretched ? Can’t say I’ve seen that on the line when buying ? Cheers
Is tapered mainline a beter option than level line? Iam looking for a new long distance rod for my new syndicate. There are no leaders aloud, tapered mainline is. I would need to reach 150 meters. What rod and set up Would you recomand? I was looking at TX 4 - TX 5?
Yes for casting distance, and if it’s safe to land them. No weed, snags etc Many rods will do that distance depending on budget but I would be using a 13ft 3.5 and above
@@TerryEdmondsUk Thanks for answering Terry! So TX4 r TX5 would be both good rods? What kind of tapered mailine do you prefer? (The max braiking strength is 15lb on the lake.) What kind of lead set up do you Prefer on long distance fishing? (Leadclip, helicopter,...) There are no snags and not Mutch weeds Is a level line stronger then a tapered line for drilling?
What setup would you recomend for tx2 12ft 3,25lb? Line thickness, lead size and fishing range you could achieve? Thank you for you expert knowledge sharing with us! Cheers
Hi Terry and thanks for that, verry interesting. I currently use the TX7 12' Intensity rods, amazing distances reached but with thinner mono + breaded shockleader of course. I'm quite convinced to change for levelline but what kind of casting style? Do you think the tx7 could do the job (ok in 12' so maybe a bit less brutal in reaching compression) KR david
I use the tx7 13ft a lot it is stiffer and faster. But just be progressive and don't bully the cast to early it still bends especially the 12fter. You will be fine mate
Really interesting video! I'm going to be joining a syndicate soon where I will need to be casting around 130+ yards. I have shimano 14000 xtds reels and wondered if the tx2 13ft rods would be a good option? Also which test curve is it you are using in the 13ft rods? Cheers 👍🏻
Nice vid man. I have one question. I saw u use the the tx 2.from shimano. I have other from shimano can you give your opinion iff they or good or 2 stiff. I have. 2. Shimano insanity 50.cal.12ft 3.25lb. Are the good distance rods. Tjx in advance
Hi Terry thanks for the vid. I’m in the market for some rods that are capable of hitting 150yrds, would you recommend all shimano 13ft rods? Also what are your thoughts on tapered line for cast long distance?
If I can I try to avoid tapered lines, I prefer fishing strong throughout, like 0.37 to 140, 150 if I have to go further I will use a tapered or braid leader to a line of choice. Tapered monos are my last resort. 13ft tx7 intensity my favourite blank from shimano
Level like 0.35 gt80 or outlaw Pro 0.35 I use that good price I sourced it. The rod is not the stiffest 3.75 but casts fine. Good at shorter ranges too.
is it true that if you start of blasting out a constant 60 ish yards from the start, you don't really progress much until you chill and pay attention to the technique, i.e. take it easy at the start, find it, then start gently blasting and work on up?
@@awcarpetsflooring9380 : Your wrong....150 metres is 164.042 yards. How the hell did you get 180 yds ??? Hope you don’t add 10% onto the price of your carpets.😂😂😂
Never caught a fish without a baited rig yet... It would be so much better to just show real life stuff, all be it on a field. I suppose people/manufacturers prefer it without, because bigger casting numbers catch more anglers..??
No it's because dogs use the field of I snapped off I can put them in danger, and it's better to measure accurately over fields. It's actually easier to fool people over water with clips and wraps. This wasn't about selling or impressing it was about advice. But I do wonder why I bothered sometimes. 😂😂 Its suppose to help people. Luckily I think most people appreciate my experience. Sorry it wasn't for you 😔
TerryEdmondsLRA Think you’ve got the wrong vibe from me. I enjoyed the vid. I would like to see a vid like yours but with a rig in place. I understand the dog example but think this can be easily overcome by not using a hook... I sure nobody does this because as previously mentioned the distances with a 18 mm or snowman would be reduced. Still I’m sure there must be a reason because nobody has done it.... Imagine a you tube vid doing something nobody has done before & how popular that could be... If you are worried that people won’t book tutorials with you if say you did the exact same vid (no leader) with a bait & hit 140 for example I think you’d be wrong. I believe the exact opposite would happen.
@@actionman21 I have done loads of experiments with baited rigs, bags and spods over the field. I haven't any worries about people booking me as technique is everything. Good guide 15mm bait and rig max of 10 percent. It's hard sometimes to interpret comments sometimes. But I'm pleased you enjoyed I will carry on doing a few anyway mate. But I understand what your saying my friend 😁
Still love to watch the vids to refresh the brain . Been nearly 2 years with you Terry since my lesson . 😎
I've used the Palomar knot religiously for decades it's the strongest knot and one of the easiest to tie

terry , if you are casting 150 with the 13ft tx2 , what do you think you would get with the 12ft version,

The tx2 at the minute in 12ft only goes up to 3.25 so it won't cast as far it's softer

I'm on a budget, and i'm curious, is it really that much of a difference casting with normal 14000 ultegra, or a ci4 version. Thank you in advance!

Nice vid man. I have one question. I saw u use the the tx 2.from shimano. I have other from shimano can you give your opinion iff they or good or 2 stiff. I have. 2. Shimano insanity 50.cal.12ft 3.25lb. Are the good distance rods. Tjx in advance
I haven't cast those rods unfortunately. But nearly every shimano rod I've used is quite quick so cast. They will fish 100 plus no issues 👍
@@TerryEdmondsUk thx for the response
Why does the line frap only on the odd occasion?
I wish I knew so frustrating its extra slack in the cast somewhere.
What teat curve was the rod and was it 13 ft intensity
Intensity version
👌👍👍
Hi Terry whats your thoughts on using florocardon line for distance fishing
It's not the best but fine to 120 maybe but heavy and fraps a lot with big casts
Hi Terry thanks for the vid. I’m in the market for some rods that are capable of hitting 150yrds, would you recommend all shimano 13ft rods? Also what are your thoughts on tapered line for cast long distance?
If I can I try to avoid tapered lines, I prefer fishing strong throughout, like 0.37 to 140, 150 if I have to go further I will use a tapered or braid leader to a line of choice. Tapered monos are my last resort.
13ft tx7 intensity my favourite blank from shimano
@@TerryEdmondsUk thanks again. Do you have a short leader or three turns on the spool?
@@davidlawrence9158 4 times round the spool up the rod down to the butt eye 👍
@@TerryEdmondsUk brilliant thanks. 👍
great video mate where did you get the finger protector from?
A Russian friend he hasa firm called sagittar
Od Rusków bierzesz wstydź się....😮
Can I ask what line you are using please 🙂
Just a test line this one mate.
Hi Terry , are those Tx2 rods the intensity version please?
Yes mate sorry I don’t come on here that much but am now 😂
Tel whats your thoughts on 12ft longbow x45 3.75 with. 12000 xtb mgs. 0.35 gt80+ ? Or 0.35 gthd ? Thanks
Level like 0.35 gt80 or outlaw Pro 0.35 I use that good price I sourced it. The rod is not the stiffest 3.75 but casts fine. Good at shorter ranges too.
@@TerryEdmondsUk thanks for the reply mate. Appreciated. This was for my bigger setup bit I reckon I may change them rods now 😅
@@Jay-qe3jz casting wise there is better. Maybe not as soft to play fish but will cast further
@@TerryEdmondsUk what would you suggest around the £300 budget ? But Not a all out casting tool
Great video Terry. What is the test curve of the TX2 Rod?
Intensity mate
What distance can you do on a 0.40 level line?
Depends on where the line snaps as that what will hold you back. I’m limited by strength of line but up to 180
Terry I'm in Gloucestershire where can I get TX2s in 13ft?
All sold out until spring I think mate
@@TerryEdmondsUk Thankyou
What’s your favourite line for this please Terry
No Leaders esp xt 0.37mm or Gardner hydro tough in 0.38mm
@@TerryEdmondsUk thanks mate
is it true that if you start of blasting out a constant 60 ish yards from the start, you don't really progress much until you chill and pay attention to the technique, i.e. take it easy at the start, find it, then start gently blasting and work on up?
Technique is everything otherwise your effort is wasted 🙌
150m is 180yrd
164 or 165 yards I think mate.
@@TerryEdmondsUk metre to yards conversion is m x 1.2 = yrd or plus 20%
100m = 120 yrds
I will check on Google mate it dont matter but I'm sure 100m is 110 yards. Lol
@@awcarpetsflooring9380 : Your wrong....150 metres is 164.042 yards. How the hell did you get 180 yds ??? Hope you don’t add 10% onto the price of your carpets.😂😂😂
Never caught a fish without a baited rig yet... It would be so much better to just show real life stuff, all be it on a field. I suppose people/manufacturers prefer it without, because bigger casting numbers catch more anglers..??
No it's because dogs use the field of I snapped off I can put them in danger, and it's better to measure accurately over fields. It's actually easier to fool people over water with clips and wraps. This wasn't about selling or impressing it was about advice. But I do wonder why I bothered sometimes. 😂😂
Its suppose to help people. Luckily I think most people appreciate my experience. Sorry it wasn't for you 😔
TerryEdmondsLRA Think you’ve got the wrong vibe from me. I enjoyed the vid. I would like to see a vid like yours but with a rig in place. I understand the dog example but think this can be easily overcome by not using a hook... I sure nobody does this because as previously mentioned the distances with a 18 mm or snowman would be reduced. Still I’m sure there must be a reason because nobody has done it.... Imagine a you tube vid doing something nobody has done before & how popular that could be... If you are worried that people won’t book tutorials with you if say you did the exact same vid (no leader) with a bait & hit 140 for example I think you’d be wrong. I believe the exact opposite would happen.
@@actionman21 I have done loads of experiments with baited rigs, bags and spods over the field. I haven't any worries about people booking me as technique is everything. Good guide 15mm bait and rig max of 10 percent. It's hard sometimes to interpret comments sometimes. But I'm pleased you enjoyed I will carry on doing a few anyway mate. But I understand what your saying my friend 😁
