Holy cow...i really didn't understand exactly what it was i was missing out on until today....when i first cast my baitcaster this afternoon, and the lure flew almost twice the max distance that i can get with my Spinning setup, I almost lost my breath. It really showed me i can maximize or minimize my range and like i have seen posted here as well as on other sites, if I can learn the flip and pitch to a "T" i can position my lure with Deadly Precision...i am one happy fella having taken these first steps into the world of baitcasters and will continue to grow in knowledge and skill in these wonderful setups....i hope to learn more from you all here and at the other forums i am a member of...I thank you all from the fishy bottom of my heart.
