I really like to skip plastics with a spinning rod, can't do it with a baitcaster. Pitching jigs is tied for first in my "favorites."

Big baits? Two-handed, overhead He-man casting.

Mostly side arm,but I do all the others also.Depends on the conditions.

Side or underhand

side arm cast or 3/4 with a crankbait

Regardless of bait casting or spinning. A little roll cast unless I want super distance or accuracy then over hand.

Next time you are out, think of the motion you would use to throw mashed potatoes off a fork. Use the same motion casting overhead.

Sometimes what is easy to do, is hard to explain. People going from spin-casters or spinning reels have a tendency to snap with their cast. We all know what happens next. 

Besides, what wrong with a food fight? ;D

the behind-the-back, off the heron, beside the laydown...nothing but water.

You forgot your favorite style:  casting topwater baits with fluoro.

Pitching to or around standing timber with a 1/4 oz. Rage Craw or Hawg, unpegged, 50# PowerPro.

Hold on man. They tear it up.

Nah, that's my favorite  8-)

Is that the rod in the water, or the lure? ;D

baitcasters i like to side or roll cast.

spinning i like to pitch or overhand and feather the bait down.

i fish from shore so it really depends on how much room i have on what side of me... i still cant cast with my left hand.

Try backhand. Use your right hand, over your left shoulder, or left side. When you fish from shore it seems like there's always something in the way.

I suck at backhand. That's definitely something i gotta work on. My buddy'll slide a jig under a dock using a backhand cast with his phone in his left hand. It's ridiculous.

Whatever cast gives me the best chance at a fish.

lol , nice.

i do some back hand when i have to. im not as accurate , but i can make some fishable casts.

It's definitely nice. He's a lot stronger than i am, so that probably also helps.

side arm skip with a spinning reel 8-)

X2  My favorite by far skippin my heavy salt baits under docks, willow trees, brush and anything I can find that most fishermen fish just the front of I fish the back of.

Yup skipping is right up there with pitching for me.

I mostly use a side cast with spinning gear. I am still trying to perfect using a baitcaster, so I overhead cast most of the time.

I find it much easier to side cast with a bait caster.  I tend to either shoot the lure straight into the water or get a backlash when trying to cast overhand with a baitcaster.  The most overhand I will go is at about a 45 degree angle to the horizontal plane.

like KVD haha no joke, i like the way he flings it a mile out over head and on the side. i play baseball so its kindddd of like swinging lol. i need to get better with pitch and stuff. and i cant skip with a bait caster for my life. how do you guys  do it?

Whats your favorite way of casting?

I prefer the pitch and the roll cast/spinnerbait cast.

I hate over head though, I just cant seem to get the timing down.

What do you guys like?

^^^good advice. You gotta "whip" it.
