[cool][font "Poor Richard"][green][size 3]During the off season or what ever, do you take time out to practice and hone your casting skills? If not consider this: Pro golfers may hit a 1000 balls during a given practice session. Baseball, football, basketball, soccer players and the like go through a training period. Do the ball players forget how to throw a ball or swing a bat? No not likely for it is all about timing and tempo. Are the fly people the only individuals that once they learn a skill never lose any aspect of their casting abilities due to a lay off period? I usually go out to a regional park to practice. However, don't always feel like packing my stuff and driving to the park. The last time I had my spools relined I kept a few of the old lines and backing. Yesterday I bought a spare reel and loaded it with the old line. Now I can go out into my yard and practice for a few minutes or what ever. Don't have to worry about ruining a good line hitting the concrete. The length of my yard includes concrete and grass which is my target area. Another objective is to rebuild my injured shoulder. Will start out for 5 to 10 minutes and gradually increase my sessions. So do you practice? [/size][/green][/font]
