CUSIP NO. 19057T 10 8
- ---------------------



ITEM 1.   SECURITY AND ISSUER.

          Securities acquired:          Shares of common stock, no par value per
                                        share ("Common Stock")

          Issuer:                       CoastCast Corp.
                                        3025 East Victoria Street
                                        Rancho Dominguez, CA  90221
                                        Tel. No. (310) 638-0595

ITEM 2.   IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND.

          This Schedule 13D is filed on behalf of Jonathan Vannini (the
          "Purchaser").

          The business address of the Purchaser is 828 Irwin Drive,
          Hillsborough, California 94010. The Purchaser's principal business is
          that of a private investor.  The Purchaser is a citizen of the United
          States.

          The Purchaser has not during the past five years been convicted in a
          criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar
          misdemeanors) or been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or
          an administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of
          such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order
          enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities
          subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation
          with respect to such laws.

ITEM 3.   SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS.

          Since the filing of the initial Schedule 13D on July 17, 1998, the 
          Purchaser invested approximately $3,534,060 in shares of Common Stock
          of CoastCast Corp. (the "Issuer") as described below in Item 5. The
          source of these funds was the Purchaser's personal funds.
       

ITEM 4.   PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

          The Purchaser acquired shares of the Issuer's Common Stock as an
          investment in order (a) to obtain an equity position in the Issuer
          whose Common Stock the Purchaser believes to be presently undervalued,
          and (b) to maximize the value of that investment.  The Purchaser
          believes that such undervaluation of the Issuer's Common Stock is in
          part a result of certain policies and practices of the Issuer's
          management, including without limitation the policies and practices
          related to the compensation and stock options granted to the chairman
          of the Issuer's board of directors.

          The Purchaser has a present intention to influence control of the
          Issuer.  The Purchaser reserves the right to acquire, or dispose of,
          additional securities of the Issuer, to the extent 
<PAGE>
 
- ---------------------
CUSIP NO. 19057T 10 8
- ---------------------


          deemed advisable in light of his general investment and trading
          policies, market conditions, or other factors. The Purchaser plans to
          exercise influence in order to change the compensation and/or
          membership of the present board of directors. The Purchaser plans to
          exercise influence in order to persuade the Issuer to adopt a stock
          repurchase program. The Purchaser plans to contact the Issuer and/or
          other shareholders regarding these and other potential strategies to
          increase shareholder value.

          Other than as described above, the Purchaser has no present plans or
          proposals which would result in any of the following:

               1)   any extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger,
          reorganization or liquidation, involving the Issuer or any of its
          subsidiaries;

               2)   any sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the
          Issuer or any of its subsidiaries;

               3)   any material change in the dividend policy of the Issuer;

               4)   any other material change in the Issuer's business or
          corporate structure;

               5)   any change in the Issuer's charter, by-laws or instruments
          corresponding thereto or other actions which may impede the
          acquisition of control of the Issuer by any person;

               6)   causing a class of securities of the Issuer to be delisted
          from a national securities exchange or to cease to be authorized to be
          quoted in an interdealer quotation system of a registered national
          securities association;

               7)   causing a class of securities of the Issuer to become
          eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4)
          of the Act; or

               8)   any action similar to any of those enumerated above.

ITEM 5.   INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

               (a)  As of April 30, 1998, and according to the Issuer's most
          recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, there were issued and
          outstanding 9,003,598 shares of Common Stock.  As of the date hereof,
          the Purchaser has beneficial ownership of 891,000 such shares,
          representing approximately 9.90% of the Common Stock of the Issuer.

               (b)  The Purchaser has the sole power to vote or to direct the
          vote of and the sole power to dispose or to direct the disposition of
          a total of 891,000 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer.

               (c)  The transactions in the Issuer's securities by the Purchaser
          since the filing of the Initial Schedule 13D on July 17, 1998 are
          listed as Annex A attached hereto and made apart hereof.
