The first I tried to a bag a long way, the bag didn’t stand up to the job and I wasn’t confident with the overall result. So I decided to set about making a which would well and not tangle. The below is what I now use for all my long range bag work, it’s simple to construct, casts well, tangle free and prevents the bag coming away from the on impact with the .
