[font "Comic Sans MS"][#0080ff]You said it pretty good there DKS. I will add, play like you are hammering. You don't break your wrist when you hammer. Thumb on top or the hold a key position, however practicing, thumb on top. Now, you got to hammer under a shelf, that is the line you want to fallow, straight, no windshield wiper. You won't need to white knuckle the rod this way, just thumb and pointing finger with the other three fingers just keeping the balance.[/#0080ff][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][#0080ff]Pull line out on the ground, swing rod back, wait to feel a slight tug or even turn slightly sideways and watch. Let the line straighten out in the back cast, then go forward letting a little line slide through you fingers. This is going to be how you add line for longer cast. Keep the line from hitting the ground, and remember to slow down the more line you feed. Wait for the tug.[/#0080ff][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][#0080ff]If you can take a class, it will be to your benefit, they even have them at the library here.[/#0080ff][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][#0080ff]Good luck and stay in touch with your progress.[/#0080ff][/font]
