Breakthrough, schmeakthrough. This driveway angler continues to have trouble out on the water. I found myself seated in the rear of a small 14' boat over the weekend, casting toward the bank off the port side. The somewhat restricted space I had to work with forced me to cast with a backhand. Perhaps one or two casts went tangle-free, and I could get no distance at all.
I paid close attention to my spool tension, ensuring that it was always set properly. Still, it always felt that my bait was landing far short of where it should be, and nearly always left me with some degree of tangle on my reel.
I'm not sure if anyone ever checks this forum. Perhaps I should post a link in a more general forum?
Any advice would be appreciated.
