[QUOTE="Mr. Stevenson, post: 262946, member: 7414"] Correct. Casting a BC is more akin to fly casting when learning. The stiffer/faster the rod the more this holds true. When new, the wrist is kept relatively stiff allowing more emphasis on the forearm and elbow. As one becomes more comfortable with proper feel the wrist begins to dominate achieving the same distance with less rod movement. The headwind is always the enemy and a strong tailwind also presents grief: The lure can't travel faster/slower than the spool. To combat this; one must remember to return to the basics of elbow, forearm, thumb... sidearm or overhead. Smashing the rig in the water or against a rock is not productive. I'm actually getting a bit annoyed as I type this: You'll eventually find in most cases a spinning rig will not out distance a properly thrown BC; all things being equal with appropriate weights. Good BC rods should have a slow tip and fast spine. Many tips are too fast for ND. In wind the appropriate BC lures are more effective. IME/O. [/QUOTE]
