Default Beginner casting question..

Thanks I will give it a try. It might be from years of spin fishing
and heaving stuff out there...and not paying attention to my arc.
I'm with you on the Dawkins book...indubitably

Well, ideally there would be no arc. john


Actually there is a casting rod arc.
One of the things that was brought when casting, is learning to match
the casting arc to the amount of line you are carrying to the amount of
force you are applying.
You can read about it here #2 and view the mpg in the tailing loops
section:

well granted...but not the arc that one typically thinks of...Not knowing
the man's background (he be strangely silent) I guess my best advice is
Little Feet (Time loves a hero) a doobie and a six pack...then really get
into casting...
