Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mr Fish" data-source="post: 120934" data-attributes="member: 368">Uptiding you cast it away from the boat and uptide.Using grippers weights and let a bow of line out, which pulls the rod tip down, then bites are usually slack liners.For want of a better description, the rods are basically shorter beach casters that can lob a bait a reasonable distance.People usually use a chunky casting multiplier such as the slosh mentioned, although some people use fixed spool.Can’t recall why it’s ‘better’ but usually works well in fast and relatively shallow water.It does (usually) tend to pick out a few more fish. It’s also a way of fishing away from the disturbance of the boat.Someone who does it more than me can probably come up with a better technical description!</blockquote>
