Practice is the key. As much as you can. Either in your yard, an open field. Working on your basic cast.

Once you have your basics down, then work on distance, hauls, etc. I found using the ole clock method(10-2) really works well and watch your back cast to watch the line straighten out before going into your forward cast. Let the rod load, do the work.

After awhile you'll start to feel the rod load up and develop a rhythm from your backcast to the forward cast. Your grip on the rod is important too.

Good luck and stick with it.
