Anyone come across other 'unusual' casting?

I know,i know, it's how you're taught & what works for you - just looks odd & inefficient to my eyes.

Re: Casting styles...
Worse Ive ever seen is using a fixedspool upside down.
Almost as bad Is right arm casting then changing the rod to the left side to wind the reel handle with the right hand.

Exactly how one of my mates' missis casts when carp fishing. I'm under strict instruction never to take the p**s out of it (I do still have a sly chuckle). Robson Green - there's a fella who can cast

I wonder how many rods he's accidentally thrown in the water?

This is going back a bit, but the gear took the form of the Woolworths fishing kits - 6ft rod, a float, some line and hooks, etc. So, the carers set up their flock, threading line and baiting hooks with worms... they all looked very excited and everyone was having fun... then one of the carers demonstrated casting and they all then stepped up to the bank - first chap literally threw his rod into the drink like a javelin, the next one did the same and the third cast went backwards, ending up in a tree behind the fella. Then one of them pulled the worm off the hook and ate it. I am still laughing now I think back over it. But hey, they were p*****g themselves too - as for the carers, they didn't look so happy. LOL. I actually ended up lending a hand, even managing a few perch, they loved it. Anyway, it was hilarious.I wonder how many rods he's accidentally thrown in the water?

Not casting, but changing rod hand to pick up line. Looks odd to me or is this common?

Never seen it before.
Fished around a bit and seen some superb anglers in action (worst was a Spaniard gilling a carp to unhook it).
