A recent example of using the castable was at Vallee Lake in france. My first cast out retrieved 1 rig with tubing and everything reusable. My second cast another reusable rig with long lengths of line attached...their loss was my gain.

That was the last of the free rigs for the time being. I continued pulling out branches and clearing loads of other bottom rubbish to clear a flat lay for my rigs. On the Friday of that week there was a guy leaving that day, but the night before he had a run and he had forgot to put his bait runner on, needless to say, two of his rods ended up in the water.

 

As he was leaving he was telling me what at happened and I said after breakfast I would have a cast about and see if I could find his rods. I went to his peg and on the first cast I connected with his rods, 2 rods were tangled together along with a big branch, two anglers who had just arrived helped me to get the rods in and to our astonishment there was still a 30llb carp on, which had been on for several hours and would most likely have died.

The Castable Reed Rake saved the day!
