THE WALLIS CAST

The Wallis cast is steeped in tradition and is widely considered to be the hardest centerpin cast to master. Thought up for use in distance casting competitions by great Nottingham angler William Bailey., it wasn't untill the 1930's that this cast would become better known and receive it's name. Another British angler, FWK Wallis, would popularize this cast and the rest would be history.His fame almost certainly came about (or was increased greatly) by his capture of a record-equalling Barbel of 14lb 6oz from the Royalty Fishery on the Hampshire Avon,He wrote about the cast in the book " Fine Angling For Coarse Fish " in a rather splendidly titled chapter " The Modern Light Float Cast From the Reel. Nottingham Style "!!!!( probably refering back to William Bailey )
