I want to thank " Little Joe" Binsted for helping me relearn how to cast a spinning rod using braided line, something that didn't even exist the last time I used spinning tackle. I got to experience many of the bad things that can happen with braided line before I was in a boat actually trying to cast for running shad. And how to cast the stuff with a reasonable degree of accuracy and distance.
Five important lessons learned:
Keep an eye on the spool for bird nests and loopd
A bird nest can generally be undone with patience
A hang up on a rock is very easily freed with a move I still need to practice, but isn't anywhere near as fatal as a hang up with a fly rod
Buy a line in a color that easily visible (green is invisible)
A spinning rod is fun, can't wait to actually hook a shad with one
One week to go until boats in the water!
