FREE PREVIEW

Fundamental Class Module - LINE SLIP

  • A discussion of getting line out at the beginning of our cast

  • Instead of shooting line, we are letting it slip

  • A counter-movement of the rod, with virtually no pause

  • We don’t need to pause the rod, because we are not shooting line

  • This is the way we get line out inside of 22-25 feet
