Title: Critique my casting technique! Version 2.0
Post by: pjstevko on January 24, 2023, 12:35:21 AM
I took everyone's advice and went back to the lake to give it another try. I was averaging 140-170' with the surface iron.

Here's video number 2

That's nice of you to say but perfect isn't the word I'd use  ;D I'd say it's adequate  :d

I'm with Mark on this - I have seen it where folks cast and you hear a "Crack!" and see a jig heading off into orbit.  And by saying I've seen it - I had a front row seat since I was the guy holding the rod.  You have no worries with that technique in the video, you are ON IT... - john

"All day", Dude! Maybe that'll toughen-up yer thumb epidermis, but after bout 30 min. with me, practicing becomes monotonous and I don't improve.
