This style of casting is not as easy as the guys in videos make it look......haha

I can see how a big rod can really be a work out. I was able to get a couple of good casts. Not sure how I managed but was pretty neat when it worked. I could sense I was over working my self and underworking my rod. The timing of the casts needs to be precise to make it all come together.

I might even want to practice with a lighter rod to get the timing down, before a I kill myself with the big stick......hehe
