| Redington Form Game Rod |
If you are like me, you don’t practice your casting enough. I’ve been doing it for a while, but there’s always some tightening or some fine-tuning to work on. However, when I’m sitting around the house, the last thing I reach for is my fly rod and reel. After all, the rod is tucked away in a tube and my reel is hidden in one of my gear bags and furthermore, my yard isn’t quite big enough to cast. I could put everything together and go out on the street, but then I might end up damaging my fly line or dodging traffic. I guess the park isn’t too far away… I could do that. Or I could just go down to the river and practice there, but then I just end up looking for fish and I start concentrating more on every other part of the fishing spectrum rather than the part that might need the most attention. Often, when there is a fish waiting for your fly, it can be pretty tough to focus on mechanics. I’d love for my cast to just naturally cast exactly how it needs to cast every time I’m out looking for fish. But that takes a bunch of practice.
