I was talking free help, i dont and cant charge people to learn as im not an instructor but am able to help people where i can. Learning on your own can be difficult, I taught myself but i was also watching som guys casting and counting their timings which helped alot in my learning. Also helped that when they noticed me they came to offer help as well  ;D

Videos and questions/answers can only get you so far. on the water or grass casting experience is where you will learn the most and having someone help with this cvan pay off huge

If you can, take HOOKS offer.
A video won't give you feedback or help you with your timing.
Go play with your new toy BUT, without outside input you'll hit a wall and wonder: Why can't I cast farther?
I always appreciate input and help from those that are smooth and able.

Starting well will mean less fixing in the future.

and if you already know the basics from videos and whatnot then it makes it even easier to fine tune a cast. I sold a rod to a guy awhile back and gave him some pointers for a bit and he told me it improved him alot  ;D I always enjoy good feedback LOL
