redlite, I've often wanted to do a compilation video of different Googans casting. I'm sure you've seen the run towards the water and pick up speed and then stop cast...spinning reel up or down, your option. Then there are those that add the extra 'English' on the cast by transferring the rod from one hand to the next and unlike your "javelin" cast, they seem to employ a fencing "thrust and retraite" maneuver. Put it all to some classical music and you have YouTube video worth watching.

I am an artistic fan of watching the "Statue of Liberty" one handed cast....
If you do decide to make one, be sure we make an appointment....I'd fit right into it,,,,,,,

Great shots of Ron Arra.

Casting is like golf, timing and mechanics are way more important than strength (at least until you have the timing and mechanics down first).
You think you are swinging like Jack Nickulas, but anyone watching you can see otherwise. Your brain doesn't believe it so you keep looking for new equipment and swinging harder to make the ball go further.....when what you really need is a lesson on how to do it right.

I sucked at golf, too.
