To use the old golf phrase, "I've got a hole in my swing." Due to my schedule with the military, I had been unable to practice my casting in preparation for what little fishing I'm going to get in. So I pull out the rod and head out back to get in a few minutes of practice. Right out of the gate I realized something wasn't right. I couldn't do anything right. I worked out the issue of not being able to get the line to lay out properly, but I seemed to have developed a very audible snap and pop on my back cast. I've tried everything to eliminate it, but nothing seems to be working. Does anyone have any ideas about what I'm doing to cause this problem?
