anyone got a good video clip of casting underhand?

[alans]

I am keen to develop my casting repertoire for tenkara. I would like to be able to cast under overhanging bushes etc. I understand that there are some good underhand techniques.

Anyone got a video clip that demos the technique?

Thanks

Alan

Unfortunately not but an explanation as to how I do it might help. I either do a side Bow & Arrow cast with the rod held low & parallel to the water or I do an underhand Jump Roll cast by starting with a low rod, sweeping it up & bringing it in a downward arc as off playing a low tennis ball. Hope this helps. Paul G & John P may well have a suitable video clip from their extensive top notch collection.

The casts that Oni is performing throughout the first 30 seconds of this video are all under the rod-tip. You will not find a better model to copy, but there isn't any instruction to go with it!:

PS - obviously this is not one of our videos; but is a great resource from an old TV program posted on youtube by an Italian contributor.

Worth making clear as I'm not trying to claim it as my own work!

Thanks Dave and Paul

Just what I was looking for!

Great to watch Oni in action. There is a lot of learning in these videos

Thanks again
