Hi Everyone,
As someone who has been fishing for 15+ years, i have a rather strange question, How do you cast ? Im Left handed, and i remember when i was about 12 my dad (right handed) trying to teach me, he was very good at casting but a very poor teacher. translating a right handed cast to a total newbie left hander was just not working out. As a result i think ive development my own casting technique. im not saying its better than any other method, but this has been bugging me for some time and i would like to get some opinions on this. casting distance is not an issue for me, i dont do beach casting at all, but does this method enable me to preload the rod more ? or maybe create a higher potential energy ?
have a look at the pic, as you can see, when i start the casting i grab the line and loop it to the inside of my palm, i then grip the line and the top of the rod tight with my whole hand as i start the cast. does holding the line in this method allow me to build up more energy before the release ?
