Hi there, yes I'm having trouble with letting the rod do the work vs me. I am trying to find a tutor in the Wairarapa area that could give me hand.

I notice watching videos and looking at images that there are different arm positions. I notice that some people like to have their front arm out straight and their reel arm bent and others prefer to have it the other way around. What's up with that? And which is better for off the ground casting?
