4-given has got it. I learned to cast left-handed, back in the 80's, when a friend had his rt. Arm in a cast, he could'nt cast right handed, so he thought i should'nt either. We both leaned how, and it really does make a difference if your fishing 6-8 hrs. Tighten your cast-controll down, and start with short casts, then work you way up. (or out, i guess)tr
