A while ago I was diagnosed with rotator cuff tendinitis in my left

This is actually somewhat on-topic. Although it doesn't affect my trout
fishing, because I cast with my right arm, it's put a real crimp in my
steelheading. Hauling hurts and I'm not sure it's good for the healing
process.

Describe the movements you make hauling...obviously, I've no idea just
how tender your shoulder is, but your technique might be contributing to
this (and I suspect it is).
