Casting problem-Can?t shoot line

[Marco]

DWM.
Videos shmideos, you can watch a million of them . Fly casting is not the rocket science some of us would like to take credit for mastering. Your best bet is to take a lesson . As for myself, after wrapping the fly line around my neck a few times, it became clear as to the timing needed to avoid that scenario. Our founder, JC, aka "Himself" suggested to practice with a broomstick and 15 foot string. If you learn to lay THAT out in a straight flat line in front of you, you can cast anything.
It's THAT simple.

PS: Could also be your rod is too limp to whip your heavy line forward.
