Bait casters

[ChrisTheFish]

I've found that for "flipping" I get the best cast using two hands. I hold the base of my rod with my left hand and use it to quickly push the rod back while I use my right hand to thumb the spool and release it at the right moment. And I've found that the smoother the motion (I guess the best way to describe it is circular) the better your short cast will turn out. I've had to do this when I'm up against willows. I can't seem to get the same distance as a regular cast but get close to it depending on what i'm flinging.
