Ya got me chuckling mate. I really wind mine up and it even scares me. Standing underneath it. I keep visualising my right eye ball heading out to sea if I make a cock up. Shouldnt be possible but I actually thought of wearing a hard hat and safety goggles on my first practice sessions. Definitely recommended for anybody standing close to me. They have gone left, then right, then off to the sun. But at last they seem to be going straight. Now I am about to move into the three step.
I might add my rod is glass, so many years old I hate to think. Wait till I get me one of these new ones.
But I sure am having fun. Downloaded the technique off the net a few years back, like about four pages.(No youtube then) Out to the beach, read the stuff and then try. Absolutely useless, maybe I stunned a few flounder if I was lucky.
After hours of viwing youtube demos. I got the concept and hang of it. At 59 I am a bit slow on the uptake.
Ya wanta see me trying to tie a new knot off book or net pics and instructions. After inventing a few of mine along the way. I finally get it right. And then it is just so easy. A bit like the pendulem. Maybe I am not even getting it exactly right. But it kinda looks right and certainly flys out a long way and I am only on half power.
