- This week we start a new journey in my carp fishing!
Join me as I start work on learning to cast distance with the first target of being able to fish comfortably with 3 rods on a spot and baiting up at 150yard!!
Having carp fished for over 20 years mostly on small lakes with features up to 100 yards my ability to distance cast is almost non existent!
We will be looking at my current lack of ability and setup and talk about the upgrades with each episode looking at a different aspect of technique or equipment!
Follow along and see if you can improve your range!!!!!

Great idea for a series of vlogs. Looking forward to watching them
Great video
Good distance with 15lb line straight through
Very honest
I think you're probably experimenting for quite a few of us. Looking forward to this! 👍
That's the plan! Il make the mistakes and a fool out of myself so you don't have to 🤣
Looking forward to more in this series…..
Should be coming soon now I'm back from France 👍
When I used to practice over the park fields or on a lake I always tied a pop up on a rig but
obviously no hook, pointless without a bait. On the field il go over in all conditions rain and wind positioning myself into the wind and casting into the side wind, after all who knows what the conditions will be like when you go fishing. Looking forward to see how you get on 👍
Good work 👍 what did you get to on the field?
@@DiaryOfAnAverageCarpAnglerI got better gear these days but then would have been around 120yds but what was difficult was getting the spod out there. I’m 5ft 7 on a good day and lighter than you lol
In the vid you were casting on a slope maybe if it was level you could have added a couple of yds
I tried the tapered line and it didn’t help me I had to go to a heavier lead to help get the long length of the thick line of the leader out there… not saying it won’t help you tho….. what size are the spools on your reels. ?
A very honest review, looking forward to the series, we can’t all afford, or even justify the latest rods n reels for the few times these sort of ranges are needed 👍
Totally agree. I couldn't justify expensive gear so hopefully show it can be done reasonably. Fishing gear has came a long way past few years you get a lot for your buck at the lower ends these days
Just couple things that have helped me!
My water has leader ban- 4 or 4.5 oz zip leads on helicopters.
13ft 3.5lb century sp
15lb esp syncro loaded- soaked in water to make more supple.
High hinge rigs are my favourite 12mm pop ups.
I cast like frank warwick slightly off to the side not arms above my head, i bring rod back over my head, and swing the lead like a pendulum then when i feel the lead getting higher and loading the rod i take a step forward and let them fly! Pointing rod at rig through flight and try to hit clip hard to lay rig out!
All good tips. I have 4oz zip heli leads delivered for France next month so will be interesting to see how they go over my standard 4oz lead clip or 4oz dumpy helis! Have been a big fan of synco over the years although I think ogx is winning me over! Although I have tapperd line for France next to try. Cheers for your experiences 🤘
Nice watch 👌🏻your cast looks pretty decent good technique it’s just practice and fine tuning needed especially pulling that arm into lower chest stomach area keep up the good work 🙌🏻
I appreciate that. Lots of work still to do. Always looking to learn more :)
Love the Video 📹 Very honest, and I am looking forward to seeing how you progress throughout this year. To be honest, I think you're doing great already mate! To be able to fish accurately at 30 wraps with preaty standard gear, in my humble opinion, is very good 👍 I reckon with ur 13ft rods, you will be hitting 35 wraps in No time 😊 keep up the good work and looking forward to the next video 👍
I appreciate that! Hopefully I can improve and pass on any tips I pick up on the way! Hopefully be another out in the next few weeks 👍
looking forward to it mate 👍@@DiaryOfAnAverageCarpAngler
Looking forward to see how you progress. I’ve heard the OGX is a great line with very little stretch. By very interesting to see the difference a tapered line would make.
Yep iv been very impressed with it in 12 and 15lb I have some tapered line for France in a few weeks so will definitely compare the difference 👍
looking forward to how this go's
Hopefully I don't get shorter 🤣
Wicked video,if you swap to a helicopter rig set up you will gain a few more yards.have you tried a 4oz distance lead ?
I have just had some 4oz zip distance heli leads made ready for France in a few weeks so hopefully that will help! Looking forward to seeing the difference in different setups:) cheers
hi, when you cast you brink your left arm to your belly, if you pull it hard into your chest, i promise you will gain 10-15 yards, your creating much faster tip speed your right arm is only acting as the fulcrum point the left hand should be pulled hard into your chest at you step forward, ive never used anything but budget 12ft 3.5lb rods prologic etc but can hit 35 wraps on 15lb straight through no probs
Yep I'm working on that front left hand 👍 nothing wrong with budget Its what the majority of us anglers have to use day in day out 👍
Top stuff i find people usually exaggerate how far they cast 120 is pretty good 150 is also my target so will be interesting to use as a comparison.
Hope you get there soon! Let me know if you find anything that you found really made a difference to you 🤘
@@DiaryOfAnAverageCarpAngler will do I'm most interested in the 12 or 13foot difference. I have the tx2 intensity in 12 ft also braid Vs tapered mainline.
@@Andy-nl3zw both will be coming on the next month or to bud 👍 interested in the results myself
@@DiaryOfAnAverageCarpAngler Just got back from a blank night! Fishing singles @ 32 wraps this seems like my max with my set up so will see if I can improve technique 🤞
@@Andy-nl3zw effort= rewards bud 👍
A step forward on as u start the cast 100% makes a big difference to load the blank its all technique practice makes perfect
Yep I'm working on that but I have the timing of an American sitcom 🤦🤣
@@DiaryOfAnAverageCarpAngler lol
I have tried this way of cast to no avail but everyone to there own
It seams a very personal thing casting 👍
Hello :)!
Hello!
Have you a link to the 13ft rods you will be using mate
Free spirit helical 3.5lb SU 👍
Make a cast then! 90 % of you long range wannabes lie. Tie a proper rig in a proper situation that's how far you can cast!🥱
Which is literally the point of the series me learning the technique and the equipment I need to fish properly with rigs and bait at distance 🤷 but if that makes me a wannabe then I'm happy with that. Il still be out enjoying myself and my fishing 🙂
How do you get on fishing at shorter ranges with a higher test curve 12ft rod?. Does it feel overgunned?
