[QUOTE="Smo, post: 4622490, member: 12078"] You gotta use the wrist , the line will tell you when it’s time to make the forward cast. I was taught 10 o’clock to 2 o’clock, pick the line up with the rod at the 10 o’clock position using your forearm and wrist bringing it back to the 2 o’clock position , pause, wait till you feel the line start to pull on the rod then smoothly transition your cast forward using the forearm and wrist . They are a ton of fun too fish with, just wait till a 3 or 4 pound large mouth latches on! Almost as much fun as pickin’ 2 lb Crappie out of a tree top with a cane pole! Keep fishing , it won’t be long until you’ll be skipping under bushes and docks. A small black gnat /hackle tied behind a small popping bug is a killer when the flies first hatch... [/QUOTE]
