try not to worry about casting "properly" too much... it's a smooth, flowing motion, a means to an end. you may also want to look into the "roll cast"... it's easy and good for people just learning, once they have the fly already out there...
Sweeeeeet, noob... thanks...
Went through my surface tackle box... the plugs are called pop r(s), hence the confusion.
Thanks for the links.
And thank you, dugger, for making me track down my winningest single lure of all time.
Anyone have any of these or know where to get them? It was rebel's answer to the fat rap in the eighties, but plastic and a ball inside. One of the first "realistic" finishes.
This one probably has over 300 bass and pike on it.
Hey, dugger.... isn't the rebel deep wee r a crankbait? Have they changed names? I have one left from 25 years ago and if anyone knows where to get more, there's a couple panther martins in it for you...
I will try to upload a photo
Welcome, Paul. I'm a little west of you (near Hamilton) but I can offer you some suggestions within an hour or two of where you are if you message me...
I'm sure those links are safe, dugger... it's not like it's the Russian dude's first and only post...
Howdy Alex... this is a great forum with lots of experienced and friendly members...
That's a truly great capture. How big is the file? I'm a graphic designer. If it's big enough, I can print a poster of it for you. Private message me, if you wish...
hope i'm posting this in the correct forum in the correct way...

Researchers believe that anchors and fishing lines can help spread the invasive spiny water flea, and Great Lakes fishermen may...
I've been pike fishing recently and hooking small mouth like crazy. Pulled (and, of course, released (even when IN season)) a five pounder where I normally pull in pound and a halters.
Looks like a good season coming up.
PS. When bait casting, I cast with my right hand, then switch hands, my left holding the rod and my right reeling.
Others may do, well... otherwise.
;)
You are going to want to practice a bit in the back yard. The principle is easy. As the spools spinning speed gets to be a little faster than the speed your lure is moving at in a cast, you are going to want to slow it down a bit, so as not to get a bird's nest.
That's the gist of it.
There...
