Hey Sonny you think they would allow that at the pier?
we could have a fish fight
Very cool!!! And agreed, I wouldn’t be able to resist the temptation to launch a horse mullet at someone. But dang that would hurt. Could be the first person to ever die from a flying mullet.
For what it’s worth, it looks like he’s using an air compressor in his truck to spool up the pressure. You could easily achieve this and get a LOT of casts off of a cheap and portable 5-pound can of liquid nitrogen or liquid CO2, so long as you regulate the pressure to the right setting.

that made my night…nice! i could only imagine the nasty birds nest to follow of one would even think about that with a baitcaster/conventional reel tho.
So tell me what you would use for bait that would actually stay on the hook at that velocity?
Pretty cool video. And do believe you could achieve this with CO2 or nitrogen.

I think the bait would remain on the hook just fine because all the force is distributed on the surface area of the bait rather than being exerted onto the entry-point of the hook, as it is when you cast it. Chances are, with the appropriate ‘wadding’ material (something easily biodegradable) you could launch some surprisingly delicate baits.
