Hello all,
Having been struggling with distance now for a while,I have found out my downfall.
Firstly,I am not casting properly,(sort of hard overhead thump,with a long drop),when I didn't understand the concept of OTG.
I have now got the idea,and will be on the playing field soon.
But My multis',(Maybe a bit slow),are both loaded with 20,and 25lb main line respectively.
Would dropping to a lighter main line help get more distance,and is there a bigger risk of rig loss for the sake of a few extra yards?.
Also,
It might be another reason,I don't know.....
I have trouble with my legs,back,and neck,which means I have trouble loading extra weight on a single leg,and not a lot of twist at the hips due to my back.
Is it possible to slightly alter my stance,and still do a good OTG cast?....
I would be interested to hear from any other disabled anglers in a similar situation,and how they have altered things to thier own way.
Thanks in advance,
Si.
