Casting Reel
What is overhead casting?
An overhead cast is the basic movement that is common to all fishing movements such as the side cast, backhand cast, and shooting and hauling of lines. In order to carry out a proper overhead cast, stand with the line straight and then start the cast smoothly in an upward direction. Make sure that the line projects backwards by stopping the tip of the rod sharply while it is still rising. Once the overhead cast has been perfected it can be very easily adapted to the backhand cast and side cast.
