I'm tryin to learn to flip a bait cast.
Just havin a little trouble with it.
I know practice has a lot to do with it,
but any tips would be appreciated.
I knew I was gonna have a hard time when the first
thing I did this morning was backlash a roll of paper towels!

Thanks Sinker Man!
I really appreciate your knowledge and replying to my question.
I have to buy another baitcaster because the one I have is broken.
I have a pinnacle but it really isn't the right kind of reel.
I'm thinking about trying out a fairly low budget diawa or something
that has a flippin switch on it. I don't do too bad with my other one
however it just wasn't made for that type of fishin.Once again thanks
greatly for sharing your knowlege with me on this topic as I will apply
it as much as possible.

Well I 've done it.

I purchased a good reel with a flippin switch on it.
Been practicing and applying your advice.
Got a 1/4 ounce to go 20 to 30 feet and with pretty good
accuracy. Caught 3 good bass today using a dropshot rig.
Nothing like it. I also missed several as I set too soon.
You were right, In my face the rig went. I'm left handed too
so as far as changing hands , I don't do that, and this keeps me in touch
with my lure presentation at all times, a big plus.
Once again , thanks for the great tips! You really helped me out alot!
I still have a way to go before hitting the big tourneys .
