Casting tip for young at hearts

[Steve Molcsan]

I consider myself a fair caster but could never cast the whole line
consistently when playing around.. No other reason for me.

Anyway, while at a bass pro "candy store" the gentlemen at the counter
is a Certified caster, I am certified also but not as a caster

Anyway, he has me out in the lot and as I cast he offers me this advise,
pick your target, I do now he says stop pushing so hard on that final cast
yes he says, extend the your reach but let the rod do the work from start to finish
the rod was losing its energy from me doing the rod's work, made great sense.
I did not even realize that I was trying to help the rod on the final cast
as I was.

I always cast effortlessly relaxing, letting the rod do all the work until that
final lay down, there is a difference between reaching out after and
overworking your arm during the final casts stage.

Think smooth all the way no effort, I gained allot from his short lesson.
Often times when I demonstrate a cast I always say relax let the rod
do the work, I even hum during the backcast ect... Now I keep on humming
right down to the water...

Make sense? or as they say whatever floats your boat...lol

Hope this helps someone as it did me.. It not meant just for throwing all the line out
it should be for every cast, if your casting is hard than your not doing it correctly.
Each stroke should be effortless..

Take care
