Reply With QuoteBasically use the rod and line as a slingshot to get your lures to go farther. Whip it back until you feel resistance in the rod from the weight of your lure. Then whip it forward to finish your cast.

"Loading" the rod is more often discussed in fly casting, but it's the same in spin or bait casting. It's using a weight that will bend the rod so that the rod casts the bait rather than your arm. Competition caster Tony Yap discusses the concept here:

I’m not sure if you can see in this video, but I tried to do what the guy told me (no whip cast). I was using a bass rod 6’8 ML XF 1/16-1/4oz rod. The line was still braid, switch to nanofil and I can squeeze a few xtra feet’s, lure was 1.5gram jig head with baby shad. My distance is still not as good as him, but at least better compare to others that fish with me.

This video is of 4 guys fishing on the Little Red River for trout, standing side by side in the boat casting Ul gear. Crappie Kirby, the Owner and the Sales Manager of BnM, and the Owner of Leland's Lures. They will demonstrate by action on how to cast light lures. ]404 Not Found
