As I'm thinking about helping my grandson [12y/o] get started fly casting I'm wondering some things...
Because of posts here [JC] I got him the Wal Mart Cortland set...
It has the L2L connector included...I don't plan on letting him use it....I'll show him the common nail knot line to leader..as a beginning....
I don't know if the reel is right or left hand wind or if it can be changed...anyone know?
Incidently I didn't want to tear the package apart as it is a gift and wrapped.
I reel right handed and understand the negatives to that ...I'm thinking since he's starting from scratch left hand wind would be better...if he and I are workng together will that be confusing?
I got the Joan Wulff casting DVD and in reviewing it it seems to me that though it is good ..for a youngster just starting out it is likely just too much except for some of the chapters dealing with basics.....seems to me there is a need for something in the marketplace geared for children with no experience...
of course lessons from a good instructor should be the place to start and I'm working on that thanks to one of you in the area....
Anyway, what do you think?
