Hi Bro,

I've been casting using my 55 mag elite with 2 mag installed lately but why can't i achieve the same or better result compared to my spinning...

Tried both high n low reel but still in vain.

Anything that I did something's wrong or it's just my technique... Pls advise

Regards
Matt

Matt,

Welcome to the world of the unknown. That's why I'm hooked with casting UK rod with multiplier. Very very challenging indeed. Spinning is something that is very straight forward i.e. no hassle. Adopt any pendulum style, get your timing right there goes the sinker.

Unlike, casting multiplier there are too many variable to take care. Get one thing right and another one will creep out to give you problems. At the end of the day, you need to rediscover yourself cos only you will understand what actually went wrong. What you need is a lot of patience trying what ever possibilities you may want to try and take record of what's going on. Then you do a post mortem of your own cast. In another words it's the PMA Bro.

Distant Casting with multiplier to me is an art. You need to master the art and satisfaction will come later. You can try to imitate anyone but you will never get the same result.

Hello Ozzy,
Stop the crap lah....listen to Mr Lee's golden advice only.
MATT listen to me okay.

I just got my TT-R, so stiff that I can hang my underwears out for sunning.
I tuned my reel so fast that it can spin from Changi to Tuas.
But I still can't break the 19000cm mark.
Why????????

PMA lah.
PMA, PMA, PMA, Majula PMA, Majula PMA Majula PMA.
Repeat after me...
PMA, PMA, PMA, Majula PMA, Majula PMA Majula PMA.

KNN, I sounds like PAP supporter. LKY gonna invite me for tea.

[Ozzy]

Ah Lee,

Short circuit liao ah!

When you casting with the Zippy you are still OK dude. Oh my god after you start to get your hands on that TTR, you seems to be a different person lah Bro

TTR or whatever RRRRR. F1 bearing or what ever Ring still no different lah Bro. Trust me that Zippy is powderful enough for you lah.

Sell the TTR. Sell the TTR

OK OK enough for now, don't disturb Matt's thread lah. At least he's trying to learn new stuff not keep buying new stuff and sell it away. He he

[MrLee]

Hello Ozzy,
The TT-R vodoo got into me.
Total Thoroughly - Relax.

Hello Matt,
Come down to UKSF to practice together.
Maybe from the eyes of our experts there, they can see and advise you the mistakes you are making.

Matt,

Same thing is happening to me right now. I began surf fish with multipliers many years ago before switching to spinning reels for it's simplicity. I agree with Ozzy. Unlike spinning reels where you just concentrate on getting the technique correct, turn and blast away as hard as you could, multipliers requires a much different approach.

To get the best out of our multipliers, there's just so many factors to look at. Magnet positon, oil, bearings, centering of spools and so on. Crucial when we are going for competition casting but not so much when we are using mainly for fishing.

No doubt about it, multipliers will definately outcast any spinning reels but firstly, one need to master the art just like Ozzy mentioned....and that's what many of us is still trying to even till today. Hope this helps a little.

PMA, PMA...dude.

Cheers!

I for once could not disagree with what Physlo had said. If we look at the distant that most us cast week in week out, there seems to be a kind of fluctuating trend. One week you are casting almost 200m and beyond and another week you are doing really crap. There are even some casters who used to cast 190m and above but now getting 180's is a real pain to them. We even have casters who cast very well i.e. more than 200 marks week in week out but the distant is stuck and not able to go beyond that point. So what actually is going on here.

Is it that we lack the consistency in our cast? Or is it something else that is affecting us. I fully understood what Matt is experiencing right now. I'm experiencing it too. A lot of question marks

Care to share your personal experiences on this our fellow casters

Ozzy,

Bro, I've tried again yesterday and today and the result vary very much. Yesterday, most of my cast are more to the left wheres today it landed at the right spot....

Yesterday set up 55 elite, 2 mag install n id 5 bearing, 0.28mm and low reel
My reel sream and was vibrating??????

Today set up 65 knoby mag, id 5 bearing, 0.28mm line and high reel
Very smooth and quiet too...

Does line laying play a very important part for 55, 0.28mm line

From my understanding line laying is very crucial for 65 compare to 55 and I'm puzzled, why is my 55 sreaming but when I swap the same bearing to 65 it run smooth and quiet...

Any logic explanation for this prob.

Rdgs

Phew ............ tough question Bro , very the tough man , I myself now stuck in the world of spinning .................

[Ozzy]

Screaming reels are like wild pigs kena ...............

This is what I can think off.

1. If it is a mag elite 55, perhaps you might want to check whether the magnet is rubbing against the spool side. Set mag to full and do a free spool spin. Make sure no rubbing sound

2. Secondly, make sure the spool is not set too tight. Especially the left brass bullet. Adjust it accordingly till you find the free spool is juz nice and without any rubbing sound and resistance. Then again check the full mag to ensure the mag is not rubbing.

3. Sometime it is the spool itself. You might have a unbalance spool or worn out hole where the 2 bearing seats. Also check the clip that holds the bearing from moving sideways.

4. It can also be the alignment of the spool, CT cage and the end knob that holds the brass bullet is not in perfect alignment. When you have this kind of reels, I guess it's time go to the tackle shop and buy a new reels.
There is nothing much you can do perhaps juz use it for fishing then

Hope this helps. Juz my 2 cents worth. Happy trying Dude

Cheers

I have screaming reels before and until oneday I found out what was my problem.

My conclusion was too much braking.
It causes my reel to scream yeeeeehhaaarrrrr and vibrate tthetrrrrrrrr....
I realised that once I reduce the mag setting before I cast, the annoying yeeeeehhaaarrrrr and tthetrrrrrrrr disappeared.

I have now set all my mag to a maximum allowable brake limit, further than that yeeeeehhaaarrrrr and tthetrrrrrrrr will come.

You can try this method.

Don't shoot the messager.
