Thank you so much for posting this. I'm crossing over from fly fishing and haven't cast spinning gear in 15 years.

Thanks for the feedback, Matthew. I love spinning just as much as fly fishing - and there's a great cross over potential in having a leg in both camps. Tight lines, Michael :)

Very true Derek. Nice and easy does it. A good casting technique will always beat senseless power in my opinion. Tight lines, Michael :0)

Nice presentation Michael. I see you feathered the line with your index finger, it must be second nature by now. I remember practicing in the backyard with a casting weight, those plastic coated things that looked like a sinker, and trying to cast it into a bucket. I cast sidearm for the most part, those overhead casts like you did were always hard for me to time right. I do more of a pendulum cast, and that morphed into a lob cast when fishing live bait like minnows and night crawlers (the best bait god ever made ;o). It all takes practice, it's amazing how your muscles remember once you get warmed up. Very useful project you've taken up buddy. I'm looking forward to the baitcasting, especially avoiding over runs on the reel :o/ The fly casting I can hold my own but it don't look pretty, lol, and I can always use a lesson. I practiced a lot with that too before I hit the water. The biggest shock was the water moves, my yard doesn't! It all takes practice. So thanks man, very good service you're providing to promote the sport! Cheers :o)

Thanks Joe. Yes, I usually finger the spool when casting a spinning rod. It's actually a habit I have from the baitcasting reel, where the thumb serves the same purpose. We have already filmed that tip for the channel. It's a very useful technique for shooting or pitching lures in under overhanging trees, under bridges and other intersting places. In practical fishing I use a sidearm cast or any combination of a lot of different cast most of the day. The straight overhead cast is practical when you are in a boat with other anglers. Those live bait demands a more subtle casting technique but you are right - they will beat artificial lures most day :0) Stay safe my friend. Cheers, Michael :0)

@@MichaelJensensAngling Yeah, casting in a boat can be hazardous if you're not paying attention. I almost had a treble hook earring from "my friend's" son :o( Hey on a musical note, check out Jacob Collier. Amazing musician, plays many instruments, mix of genres, his vocals sound a little jazzy like Zappa. But tonight on PBS is RUMBLE The Indians that rocked the world. Lots of blues influenced by Native Americans. Charlie Patton's Delta blues. I think you can watch it on www.pbs.org > independentlens > films > rumble Maybe on You Tube, PBS has a channel. Happy Solstice! Also tonight Jupiter and Saturn are in conjunction and look like the Christmas Star. These past months I've been watching Venus in the early AM and Mars at night, as well as those giants Saturn and Jupiter. For some reason it makes me feel good :o) Cheers

@@joeduca8582 Ha ha I have had my share of those unintended piercings on different body parts ;0) Collier is a talented cat, obviously playing any instrument he grab. I've been researching a bit on that Rumble thing. Haven't seen it yet, but it sounds cool. I never knew, that Link Wray was native American. Happy Solstice to you. The conjunction of the planets weren't visible from here, since it was cloudy. Looking at the night sky is pleasing, and Ulla is trying to teach me more about the configurations and their place in myths and culture. Interesting stuff. Cheers my friend :0)

@@MichaelJensensAngling Yeah, that was Joe's Friend"s Special son. I saw him in the newspaper a few years ago holding a stringer of walleye in an awesome fishing boat. I think he won a walleye tournament, he may be semi-pro or that was a guide's vessel. He turned out to be a good looking young man with his dad's intensity! He learned to hook the fish, not the fisherman ;o) I never knew who Link Wray was, I just now watched a video of him playing Tear It Up with Jason and the Scorchers at a Denmark concert on You Tube. That documentary focused on Native American influence in blues, rock & roll, etc. Most of the guitarists I really like credit Wray as influencing them to play. That Saturn Jupiter thing was a bust here too, clouds :o( That's cool Ulla is teaching you about the constellations. My Mary and I enjoy astronomy, she got us a telescope a few years ago. I love myths and cultures too. Thanks man, cheers!

@@joeduca8582 Good feeling to know that you've pointed a kid in the right direction. Link Wray was the man who practically invented the power chord, that just about every rocker on the planet has used ever since. Regarding the astronomy thing: I feel every new thing we learn about the natural environment makes us wiser and enables us to better appreciate being part of a bigger puzzle (okay, right there I triggered my Depth Alarm ;0) Just one more add-on to the outdoor experience. Cheers, Michael :0)
