Casting Experts, Ever See Shag Shahid

Featured Replies

I'm sure some of the older guys remember Shag Shahid and his casting expertise....I remember being at a boat sport and travel show when I was a kid and saw him do some casting tricks that I have never seen since....I consider myself really good at casting, including pitching and flipping, and it all was because of watching him.....Now I will admit I am not even in his league nor are most anglers around including the pros....I saw him on the fish tank at the show pitching a jig in different cups that people were holding in the audience. He was pitching long distances too and he kept putting the jig in the cup every time...my dad and I just laughed, waiting for him to miss but he didn't....he did other tricks that would put most of us to shame....really an amazing exhibition....He was using an old Lews Speed Spool reel and made it look so easy. Haven't seen an exhibition like that since.

Unfortunately never saw him, but I know Jimmy Houston is insanely accurate with his casting.  At one of his seminars he put a spinnerbait under my dads foot with a cast and told him to step on it so he could demonstrate a hook set on stage. At another one he was talking about accuracy with his roll casts and told my dad it'd be wise not to move and he put it one on his chair right in between his legs.
