had to re teach my self to cast due to a bad shoulder, use to cast right hand but now cast left with the reel 200-300 mm up from the bottom of the rod- feels alot better doing this-feels more natural , easy to cast -easy to fish, still use a std rod holder from Tackle Tactics, if any thing I find it it better for fishing as can hold the rod a little higher if need be, dont use or need a rod bucket at all- can still cast 80-100 meters with bait.
