I worked on it a lot last year and made some progress but still pretty much stunk . I went out a couple of days ago for the first time this year and I dont know how but I was making those cast consistently and effortlessly , didnt even have to give it any  thought  . Throwing a spinnerbait on a 7 foot med action casting rod . The accuracy  should only get better from here on .

This is another one I need to practice more. I can cast a little with light lure but get backlash with heavier ones.

My boat is a little 16.5 foot Crestliner so the console will get in the way on some regular casts.

This has made me a pretty proficient backhanded caster and skipper.

 

However, sometimes when using the backhand circle cast ... 

I turn it into hulk smash and slam the bait into the water 2 feet from the boat leaving me in backlash city.

I actually watched this video  a year ago and commented on one of your other videos about your back-hand casting . It  steered me in the right direction .

Fish from the shore or the back of a boat, and you'll learn the backhand cast pretty quick!
