How to false cast
Any false cast starts by picking the line up from the water or grass. You learned how to do that in the Pick Up/Lay Down segment. Start with about 30 ft. of line laying out straight in front of you and the rod tip low, no more than 1 ft. from the ground, and pointing at the line. Now at medium speed, raise the rod tip to about 10:30. At medium speed, this “lift” will take about 1 second. Done properly, the lift will drag the line across the ground or water, but not lift it from the ground or water. When the rod reaches the 10:30 position, quickly accelerate the rod to 1:30 and stop it there.e Lesson
