It is very much like tia chi as DJ says, I keep my pull and guide action parallel to the ground. The wife thinks I'm nutz. The problem that I have is letting the reel go, I tend to "ride the brakes" which isn't a bad thing. I've only had 2 moderate backlashes. There are a few other sites but that video is the best Everytime I get down to the river it's been too windy or too populated to try. Where I go the open spaces are at a premium and for a 13ft rod and the wallis cast you need some overhead clearance.

I've found most experienced float fishermen will offer advice freely. In fact I've only run into one or two knobs in my time at the local fishing holes .

LOL my neighbours also think I'm nuts... last week it was the surf rod in the soccer field... this week it's the float in the garden...



I also tend to ride the breaks per say... just worried about overruns more than getting distance.
