How long have you been casting? 20 years

Advice for new casters: Casting can be frustrating at times so stop then and come back another day.  Don’t feel like you have to practice for hours at a time, 15-20 minutes is plenty for a new caster.

Philosophy relating to casting: Keep yours hands relaxed and enjoy the motion.
