For vertical fishing
Vertical fishing techniques such as jigging, slow jigging or fishing with tenya, madaï, inchiku lend themselves to the use of a casting set. In these fishing techniques, bites on the way down are very common, and the fact that you can lower your lure or rig with the line taut and effortless will enable you to feel the slightest touch and be much more reactive.
By adopting casting for vertical fishing, you'll considerably increase the number of bites you feel and the number of catches you get. The time you'll save when casting will also mean fewer misses, and you'll find it much easier to release line simply by using your thumb to follow the bottom. The umpteenth advantage of fishing with a casting rod aboard a boat is that, if you get tired, you can place the rod on the gunwale of the boat or kayak and it will remain fishable.
Effective animation
Fishing with surface lures in casting makes animation easier and therefore more effective. From the shore, you'll have noticed that attacks in the feet are frequent, but with spinning it's not always easy to animate your lure correctly in very little water. With casting, your lure will swim right into your feet! For those who spend hours stalking wolffish or bass, casting will reduce fatigue and you won't be afraid to fish with bigger or heavier lures.
Very light fishing
Ultralight casting is also possible with baitfiness. Whether you're rockfishing or eging, baitfiness equipment is ideal for light fishing. The ultra-light spool and the fluidity of the reel allow you to be more discreet and incredibly precise. What's more, you'll benefit from a lighter package that's very pleasant for long sessions, allowing you to fish faster. You'll be able to prospect with power fishing to save time and, above all, you'll gain in baitfiness!
As you can see, there's no limit to the number of ways you can fish with a casting set on our coast, and it's adaptable to all types of lure fishing. In eging, for example, fishing with a casting set will give you the advantage of keeping constant control of your jig as it sinks, so you'll get a better feel for the bites on the way down.
