Kako Vi Cast-ujete?

Evo jednog citata sa jednog od foruma za float fishing, i naravno vezano za float reel... mislim da je zanimljivo....
" I believe there are 5 "types" of centerpin casts. The 5 categories are just my interpretation on the different ways of how we get the line off the spool. Each cast might be performed backhand, forehand, overhead, etc or with some other slight variation, but I tend to lump every cast into one of the following groups.

1. Side Cast -- Spool doesn't spin. Line is guided off the side of the spool through looped fingers during the cast. Causes lots of line twist. Having backing installed is helpful or sometimes mandatory. Good video on this site.

2. Spinning Side Cast -- Spool is spun by batting the spool, spinning the handle, or pulling the line while simultaneously making the cast. Line is guided off the side of the spool through looped fingers. Causes less line twist than side cast, but still enough to be annoying. Having backing installed is helpful or sometimes mandatory. Good video on this site.

3. Pile Cast -- Spool is spun by batting the spool, spinning the handle, or pulling the line so that slack line piles up in the water at your feet. The reel is then usually, but not always, stopped and then the cast is made. Line doesn't come off side of spool -- no line twist. I have not seen an online video of this, yet I see people do it all the time while fishing. The difference between this and the Pull Cast is the pause between the spool spin and the forward cast.

4. Pull Cast -- Spool is spun by batting the reel, spinning the reel handle, or pulling on the line while simultaneously making the casting stroke. The spin may occur just slightly prior to the forward cast, but appears to be one seamless motion. Line does not come off side of spool -- no line twist. I have not seen an online video of this cast.

Note: I believe most US people referring to a Wallace Cast typically mean a pull cast. The UK Wallace Cast probably preceeded the pull cast from what I have gathered reading these forums. The UK Wallace Cast I'm referring to is essentially a variation of the pull cast where the cast starts with the shot held in the non-casting hand. The more modern Pull Cast, typically used by the US steelhead community, starts the cast with shot swinging around from a backcast. I have seen videos of the wallace cast, including one on this site, yet I have never seen anyone use the "shot in hand" UK Wallace Cast while fishing. The only possible advantage I see to it is the limited backcast room necessary and possibly some traditional value. Unfortunately, the distance is greatly reduced by using this cast, so most US fishermen just wade a little further from the bank and do a different type of cast.

5. Swing Cast (AKA BC Cast) -- Reel is spun by the force (momentum) of the lead pulling on the line during the casting stroke. Line does not come off side of spool -- no line twist. This cast is most similar to the cast of a bait casting reel, but typically requires a much longer windup because of the greater startup inertia of the centerpin spool. It works best with heavy offerings. I have seen no online video of this cast, but I believe Pete is working on it.

It seems that most beginners start with the side cast because it eliminates the possibilities of backlash. Unfortunately the line twist is pretty severe, so most casters move on to the pile cast. The pile cast, however can result in tangles with streamside brush, submerged vegitation, shoelaces, reel handles, the line itself, etc so many casters then move on to the pull cast. The pull cast is close to a "perfect solution", especially for lighter offerings, but doesn't allow for great distances. (at least for most people) So for great distances, most advanced casters will use the BC cast.

The best casters I have seen tend to use the pull cast when fishing light rigs and the swing cast when fishing heavy rigs. If extreme long distances are required, heavy rigs and swing casts."
