Customer Reviews

Unique, clearly written, practical for fisherman

Ron Arra has written a unique guide to increasing casting distance without losing sight of the needs of the average fisherman. Although competitive casting is touched on , very practical advice regarding equipment, lures and rigs, and special casting situations are covered. Photos and verbal descriptions of specific techniques are clear and concise. I was fortunate enough to have a teaching session with Mr. Arra and although he gave me specific advice on my own problems with casting, almost everything he told me was written in the text. He is as nice in real life as he comes across in his book. I highly recommend this book to anyone who has ever been unable to reach breaking fish secondary to short casts. I was able to increase my distance by 30% after reading the book and with some practice!

To all sports fisherman, a great book to read!

This interesting and great book that is easy to read and that's a classic for any sports fisherman who enjoys surfcasting. Reading this book. Power Surfcasting has helped me achieve casting distances that I have not been able to attain prior to reading this book. The casting techniques, knot tying, lure selection and bottom rigs for various fishing conditions, that one would desire to use are excellent suggestions. Proper rod and reel selection were a invaluable asset to help me significantly improve my fishing and casting abilities. Arra demonstrates the overall proper rod and reel selection to achieve casting distance and techniques for every sports minded fisherman. The Ron Arra video, Surf Fishing and Distance Casting demonstrates, poetry in motion and is a great companion to the book, Power Surfcasting by Ron Arra. To all sports fisherman, have a great day fishing.

overall it's great but.......

this is a great book to learn the many variations of the pendulum cast and other cast,but the bait fishermen have been omitted.there is very little mentioning of rigs,baits, and sinkers to use to obtain maximum distance and may have really hurt sales of this book because had a serious chapter or two been devoted to this topic it could have doubled or even tripled sales because millions of catfishermen copy surf fishing trends for thier own fishing .

excellent book for long distance casting

would like to get in touch with Ron to get some lessons in casting for the tournaments coming up in Delaware. THANKS
