Substitute Gareth Swift scored four tries as Cas made it three wins from four.
The tone was set early on when scrum-half Dale Turner's deep kick forced a fumble and the fast-reacting half-back regathered the loose ball to race under the posts. Joe A
rundel converted - the first of 11 successes with the boot.
Leeds got back into the game with a try in the corner but it was only a lapse from the Tigers, who soon began to dominate. Turner collected his own kick over the top to score his second try, then sent prop Ben Gledhill through a gap to spark the move that ended with Billy Harris putting Jamie Cording over.
Leeds were being opened up at will. Harris broke out wide to send Adam Milner on a mazy run that set up position for Swift to scoot in from dummy-half. and another break from Harris led to Cording claiming his second touchdown.
Gledhill, despite being wrapped up, off-loaded to put Swift in for his second try and on the final play of the half good work from substitute Adam Jones and stand-off Jordan Thompson led to Cording putting winger Josh Atkinson in at the corner for a 38-4 half-time lead.
Cas opened the second half with the try of the match. Gledhill's off-load to Swift started it. Milner and John Davies provided willing support to put Jones under the sticks. Swift completed his hat-trick after Jones and Davies did the spadework and Arundel was next over after a break from inside his own half.
Swift raced in from dummy-half to score his fourth try after Leeds were dismantled by substitute prop Jon Walker's barnstorming run and though Leeds replied with two tries of their own, the final word went to Richard Pell's side, who completed their account when Thompson punished an error and Arundel added the extras.
Pell praised his side's execution and determination post-match but demanded an 80-minute defensive effort ahead of tonight's trip to Hull KR (7.30pm).
Castleford: Lynch; Butcher, Arundel, Cording, Atkinson; Thompson, Turner; Gledhill, Milner, Bassinder, Holmes, Harris, Tasker-Howard. Subs: Davies, Swift, Jones, Walker.
