Drop-casting, on the other hand, is all about fast sinking, and the angler must bring the rod high before releasing the finger grip on the line and drop the cast into water with full force. The double-handed overhead cast, used more for distance, uses a kendo-like overhead swing to throw the line as far as possible. [3]
