Thanks Knnn,

A lot of that did make sense.

Don't forget to learn proper MENDING to help your sink tip and fly to reach depth quicker. Sometimes you only need a little baby mend, sometimes a big huge mend or even a downstream mend. Every type of mending has it's place. Most of the time you'll be using an upstream mend however

Will look into that...

--take a lesson...before you pick up a bunch of habbits and hitches that will take years to correct.
--I take casting lessons twice a year... for the fun of it.
--I most often take a beginners class... as this brings back the fundimentals of the cast.

--Take a video of your cast and you may be surprised that it does not look anywhere near what you think you are doing.

--When practicing.. I usually take a 3 wt and a slow 6 wt... so I can switch back and forth to get a feel for the difference.
--Also cast to targets rather than just flinging it out there. Alternate between different targets.

--At some point you will add your own signature to the cast.
--I liken it to pro golfers...you often see that they do not always follow the ..classic swing.. but the end result is a well struck ball.
--That is not to say that a hacker cannot have fun on the course or that they will sometimes get a par.
--They just are not as likely to replicate the outcome as often as one who practices.
