Hello all,
I'm a first time poster to this site and from across the pond. I was wondering if the reel is supposed to spin as I release the loops of line from my fingers on the Nottingham or Loop Cast. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thank you Randy  http://www.questoutdoors.net -------------------- |

Hi Randy, you are amongst many 'pin users here.
I think that the answer is no, but I might just be wrong. Being a bit of a phillistine I cast that way, Wallace casts are for the show-offs amongst us! Mind you, a bit of spin might give you a few extra yards. I've buggered my arm so I can't go out and try right now. [ 10.

Welcome Randy. North Carolina fella, I am. And while I don't use 'pins, there are certainly quite a few on here who do. In fact, one regular even has a link somewhere to a great piece of video he made to illustrate the Walis/Wallis/Wallace/whatever cast.
Are you wanting to add more to This thread? At any rate, one of the pin guys will certainly be posting an answer here soon. Snap - That Waller guy posted while I was composing. [ 10.

Thanks for the replys. I'll give you a little background about myself. I'm an addicted pinner who loves to trot the tributaries of the Great Lakes for steelhead, salmon, and trout. I also like to drift floats for other species of fish like shiners, chubs (creek chubs) bass, catfish and any thing else that'll hit a bait presented under a float.
Recently I did a demonstration on the Loop cast and the wallis cast for the Questoutdoors web site. While I seldom use the loop cast (just hasn't caught on in North America) I did the demonstration to the best of my knowledge and I just couldn't remember the correct way. I did the cast the best way I knew how which was grabbing the loops of line from the rod rings and the letting her fly. So, to make a long story short, I was just wondering about the correct way to do it. Oh yeah, thanks for the warm welcome. Randy http://www.questoutdoors.net -------------------- |

Atlast, a civilised American! One who uses a centre-pin for fishing and not as a book-end !

Yes, pins are made for fishing. If they were meant to be paper weights that's what they would have been called in the first place. Right?
