(Do you
really think casting is that different than a golf swing? I don't. Muscle
memory and repetition are key.)

Sim, you are so right! Today when I was out on the water and
experimenting with a side arm cast, I used both hands on the rod
(probably violating all bass fishing etiquette) and tried a golf swing
type snap. I found that I really could cast a mile doing that. I am
working on that snap and its timing in overhead too. I'm starting to
get some real nice casts that way. Of course I'm also getting some
short ones and many of the side casts don't go where I planned, but
that just makes the good ones more appreciated.

Thanks,
