I rarely if ever see any post on accurate casting anymore here on BR. I'm wondering if it's because so many folks pitch from closer distances instead of casting? But, a pitch is another type of cast as well. It seems like casting accuracy is becoming a lost art anymore, but, it's an old school skill that's just as important as your bait choice or the rod and reel your using. I've been watching a video of Larry Nixon slowly working his way along, and his casting is perfection in motion. Overhead and sidearm casting, depending on the situation at hand. Each cast lands where he needs it to go, with the bait quietly entering the water. Very few can be as good as Mr Nixon on a given day. But, it pays to learn to cast accurately, and will help land more fish. I hope it's a skill that's not forgotten. Anyone care to comment here? What are your thoughts on accurate casting?
