[QUOTE="WTM, post: 4622302, member: 6230"] dudes, if you havent tried it, try it. it is FUN, even if it was only practicing in the yard. almost zen like, kinda like tai chi (unless youve never practiced martial arts then you wouldnt know lol.) i wish id started years ago but was kind of intimidated thinking it was for rich old guys and hipsters. i tried right handed first and was doing fine until my shoulder started hurting, from an old injury, and was short stroking it and caused a couple of overhand knots in the end of the leader. watched a video on tailing loops and figured out what was causing the knots then i switched to left handed and perfect casts, the loop unrolled and line straight. im kind of ambidextrous so it doesnt really matter but im still gonna work on the right hand more, until i correct my form and figure it out. thanks for the replies and pm’s on my other thread to get me started.
