Default Video of me casting - Please can you tell me my casting faults.

Hope this works.

Someone suggested on here that I put up a video of me casting. It was impromptu so it was done by leaning a mobile phone against a post. I know it not showing the loops but what things am I doing wrong that you can see from this? This cast was 90-95ft. It just dont look good for some reason lol

A few have looked at your video! No-none left a reply! I wonder why?

Anyhow, your casting looked OK, the modern style of casting with a lay-back cast and doublehaul that seemed a bit fast. flexi wrist action which is OK as far as the modern instructors are concerned! But, hey 90ft, of fly line is no mean achievement.

Perhaps they dont want to insult me lol.

I really would appreciate any more informed feedback but I guess what I posted isnt a whole lot to go on???

Yeah I can get around 95 feet nearly every time I cast . 99% of the time I cast without a leader so I'm guessing I can get 100ft most casts. (7 weight)

When I looked back at it though for the first time via video it just dont look right but I dont know why????

Not a lot wrong Tencher, you just need a far more expensive reel.

So many to go at trencher, just a bit of fun matey, enjoy yourself.
Why the distance though, most of my fish are caught at a couple of rod lengths.?
Do you just like casting?

Eyes like a hawk nothing wrong with a Vision, proven reels, and plenty of happy customers.
