Zulu:
True about the pic`s. You have posted alot but this is a ...BASS sight not a cat-fish hang out!
If I knew how I would but sadly I have yet to figure the "how too" out. As you well know.
So until I do, you have free rein.
Went to Gander Mountain friday with a buddy as he wanted to buy some tackle. He picked up 2 really nice "BAIT-CASTERS" and 2 rods and some other stuff.
loaded the reels with mono/casting weight and got him in my back yard for a little training session.
Adjusted the reels and off he went. Big time bird nests! Bounced a couple of the side of my house! His casts went left,right and every place in between . He was crying for his SPINNER!
Typical response from a lazy spinner user.
Don`t forget, he never used a B/C before.
Anyway, Coached him up (a lot) got him to understand how important the "thumb" is in using a B/C. After more self inflicted problems and more coaching......... he started to come around.
The bottom line is, he can cast for distance (still gets a nest or two) but that takes time to over come. Throws straight, 75% of the time. Again, practice and more practice will win that
battle.
After a couple of hours in the sun (I was sitting in the shade ) and end-less casting and me
staying on his case, he finally realized he got it! Not the whole ball of wax but the concept .
He called me sunday afternoon, after he had been practicing and said, He loves it!
All that is for you, Zulu. Mr "take the easy way" spinning combo...... King of the cat-fish
people!
