How To Cast To The Exact Same Spot Every Time
By carpman
As a Carp specimen hunter I have fished many well known venues and being
able to cast to the exact same spot every time is essential if you are going
to succeed in catching that big one. There is no point spoding out 10lb of
bait all over the lake and then casting your hook baits yards from where you
need to be, there is a sure fire way to get your spod bait and hook bait in
exactly the same spot every single time, when a friend of mine showed me
this technique my catch rate improved dramatically.
Let me give you a scenario that I am sure you have all come across. You
arrive at the lake and you pick you peg, the lake is well known for weed and
before you can start to fish you have to find a clear area which you can
spod out to and cast your hook baits to. I keep this simple, I set-up one
rod and cast to an area that I like the look of, before you do this pick a
specific feature on the far bank, could be a tree, building or set of lily
pads, anything will do, this will be your casting line, you will always aim
for this line. At this point I have no rig attached just my weight. I then
retrieve the weight by very slowly pulling the rod towards me, you will
easily feel the weight pulling through the weed, reel in the slack line and
pull the rod backwards again, when you find a clear spot you will feel the
difference as the weight moves freely across the bottom, this is the weed
free area, stop pulling, this is the spot you want!.
Now, you need to be able to cast to this exact spot every time, accuracy is
key to your success. This is what we do now, you have your weight in the
clear, weed free area, don't move it, simply get some electrical tape and
put a small piece at the end of your rod tip, just wrap the tape around the
line and trim off, this gives you a marker on line, so when you re-cast
using the feature on the far bank you picked earlier you simply reel the
line in until you can see that tape at the end of the rod tip, now you have
your bait in exactly the same spot
and correct distance every time you cast
out!
Now do the same for your second rod, use the same method and you have two
rods that you can cast out to a clear area in exactly the same spot every
time!.
As you probably already know Carp requires lots of bait, especially
if you are on a long session and through the night. you have to be
able to spod your free baits out to this exact spot where your hook baits
are going to be, so how do we do this? this is how.
You already have your line of cast, remember we picked the features on the
far bank?, so we use the same features, that way we know we have the correct
line, but how are we going to get the distance right for the spod rod, we
have no tape on the line, this is what we do. Get one of the bait rods with
the tape on the line, put your reel on free spin or take the bail arm off
and walk up the bank with the end of the line in your hand, when you get to
the tape at the end of the rod tip stop, this is the correct distance, lay
the line on the ground, it will stay there as you have your weight attached.
Now simply get the spod rod and do the same, walk up the bank to where you
left the other line, when you get there, don't put tape on the spod rod line
just go back to the reel and clip the line up on the reel, most reels have
line clips!.
Now you can cast the spod rod out and it will hit the line clip and exactly
the right distance, how easy is that!.
