My Dear Buck: ** For your practice work or rather the back-yard casting, before you try out the real stuff, all you need of your bait-casting tackle Is your rod, ateel or split bamboo, 5 or 6V4 footer as you prefer; 60-yard spool of waterproof soft square braided silk No. 6 line; quadruple multiplying reel and a cast iug plug. Joint your rod and place the reel in the reel seat right above the grip, with the reel on top of the rod, reel handle to the right. Hun the line through the tip and guides, wind it evenly on the reel and loop on the plug at the end. At a distance of say 30 feet from where you intend to stand whtla mak ing the cast, peg down a small piece of paper, say about eight Inches square, for a target. Think this Is the home of a fine frisky bass, It adds to the interest of the game. you are all ready now, get In the box, 30 feet from the target and face it. Take the rod in your right hand, let the plug hang down about six inches from tho tip, reel on top with the thumb prewsing on the line wound on the spool of the reel, the flngeru of course around the grip of the rod. Before bringing the rod back over the shoulder to start the cast, twist the wrist to the left enough to bring the top of the reel towards your body, the spool of the reel nearly vertical. In this position swing the rod back over the right shoulder until the plug hangs on a line with your belt, the rod will then he at about a 46 degree angle with the ground and your hand near your right ear. This much is for position, the cast starts from this point, wherein it differs from fly-cast ing which startB from the first up ward sweep. Keep Thumb Pressuro on Reel. JTrom* this position swing the rod forward with a swift firm sweep,\ in ! creasing the speed as the rod BWfngs ' forward?all this time the thumb pressure stays on the line wound on the reel. As the rod sweeps to perpendicular position, release the thumb pressure?but not entirely and out shoots the plug carrying the line from the reel. Keep your eye on the plug, although it's a hundred to one shot that you ?will watch the reel instead. When the plug is still in the air, just be [ fore it hits the ground, press the thumb down firmly on the reel, which | stops it from revolving. If you fall to i do this, old man, the reel will keep on turning from its momentum, and having no heavy plug in the air to pull it along, the line will snarl up on the reel and you will be introduced to your first "back-lash," with which you will become well acquainted, any way, as you get along in the game. If your plug did a pretty flight straight up in the air, you released your thumb pressure beforo the rod was perpendicular, if it did a Hrodi? right down into the ground in front of you, then you failed to release the ! thumb pressure soon enough. Re i member this point, the thumb pres 1 sure is never entirely removed from j the line on the reel, the lighter prea sure on the line keeps a "pull" on the bait and prevents back-lashes. "Bad cess to 'em." Always Jam the thumb ! down hard Just before the bait lands, stop the rod in its sweep when It is j much higher than the target and keep I your eyes on the plug. As it flies out and settles, slowly lower the tip of 'the rod, keeping the plug, line and rod ; on a line as much as possible, as it ; saves friction on the guides and ' makes your line last longer, as well | as increases the distnnce to your cast. Reel Line In 8mopthly. You have now made your first past 1 and upon how carefully you reel In I your line depends the success or fall i ure of your next cast. Shift the rod I to the left hand, grasping it above the reel, circling it from the underalde, with the line between the forefinger ' and the thumb which guides the line across the spool of the reel and back i again until it is all reeled in. Don't 1 let it pile up on the ends of the spool, 1 which it has an ornery habit of do ing. or build up into a hump In the middle. If you do, you can check off ' the next cast as a dead one. i Try to reel it in as level as possl i ble. Of course while actually flahlng you will always watch your bait while reeling in the line, especially when you are casting among lily pads and windfalls, but in the practice work watch the reel. This will save you lots of time and fish later. After a lit tie practice you can watch the plug, remembering not to slow up the thumb and finger in guilding the line smoothly onto the reel, or it will pile up before you know it and bring back your old friend, Mr. O.
