5. Improved Presentation and Bait Action:
The smooth, fluid motion of pendulum casting results in a more natural presentation of your bait enhancing its appeal to fish. Additionally, the increased casting distance allows for longer drifts and more extensive coverage of fishing areas, increasing the likelihood of attracting bites and hooking fish.
