[QUOTE="JayKay, post: 350984, member: 324"] It sounds complicated, but no more so than anything else. I can do it in the dark, with gloves on, without a thought. Fishing in the dark, for years, has made me pretty intuitive. I cast with my right hand. While the lure or jig, or whatever offering I'm throwing, is in the air, the rod goes to the left hand. I either swipe the bail closed, or snap the rod handle forward to close the bail, about the time the lure hits the water. I also retrieve in the dark, against the current. I rarely have my lure hit the rod tip. I can feel from the angle of the line, how far out the lure is. This is often all while I'm standing thigh-deep in the water. Anyways, it's not nearly as much of a mess as one would think. [/QUOTE]
