I remember the first time I tried to use my first baitcaster, it took some time...It was a red Abu 5000...still have it. We would fill a reg. bucket full of water.....and we would get in the back in the bed of my freind Ronald's dad's old chevy pick-up truck...and we would pratice for hours every day...we would make a competition out of it... on who can land that old "hellbender" in the bucket at various locations. We would play "HORSE"...like the B-ball shooting game. My life as a kid...out in the counrty...with farm ponds...creeks all around, kids my own age...it was the best any could ask for. I had plenty of practice on those farm ponds.
