I just realized that I've had my hands backwards this whole time. I've had the reel in my right hand and my left closer to the butt of the pole.

That is a really neat video, especially looking right down on the reel as its running the line out!!!! I have never seen one like that before.

What distances are you all getting? Your casting times and videography are impressive to me?

Thanks for posting this. I would like to see more.

@Tyler yes, it is the GoPro Hero2. It belongs to a buddy of mine but I may pick up one this week. Looking to do lots of cool shots with the camera(s). Maybe even 3D shots with both cameras.
@jonofre81 we mainly practice in San Antonio. We have casting tourneys in Kingsville, Tx and we will actually be on the beach at Fish Pass this Sunday for a little fishing get together.
@dunedawg that is an Abu Ultra Mag II reel. Great real for the field, have never fished with it though. Lol
@Repoman911 LOL, it just depends on what you are comfortable with. I actually have one setup I fish with that has the reel mounted low on the butt section.
@Ray thanks, on the field we have guys casting out roughly between 600 feet and 800 feet. We are using 8-12 lb main line depending on diameter, and 60-80 lb shock leader and throwing 125 gram and 150 gram weight.
@Silver_King thanks man, dumped a little line but not spooled completely! Lol

Hope this helps, and if yall have questions I will be happy to try and answer. Thanks

Carlos

This is a neat looking camera and it only costs $299.99!!!! There's an imagae of it mounted to the front of a board, but you could do the same with a kayak easily.

And evidently if you buy one, beautiful women will flock around, or at least they did for the guy that had the camera in the adds! Very Happy

I really hadn't thought about line weight; I use braid, but with lighter line, you can load more . Is lighter weight line easier to cast?

With a 7 foot Ugly Stick and an AVET SX loaded with 60# braid, I am now casting around 150 in practice. I am getting ready to switch to using my 10 foot Harnells and 13 foot Breakaways, which should give me a lot more distance. I am just getting used to using these heavier rods. I've fished for years but with light weight tackle.
