To cast the float rod is relatively easy really. The only difference is you have a reel to worry about, but like all things is practice that makes perfect.
So we start the cast by having the float about half the distance of the rod. Trap the line with one finger. Open the bail arm which releases the line to allow the cast. Bring the line slowly behind you until you reach about your 2:00 o’clock position. Bring the rod straight, look forwards and just cast releasing the line at about your 10:00 o’clock position.
Once the line hits the water, just put your tip in the water and wind a couple of times and you sink your line. I will do that again.
So, wind in until your float is about half the distance of your rod, trap the line with your first finger. Open the bail arm to allow the line to flow freely. Bring the line carefully behind you to about 2:00 o’clock position. Straighten the rod up and cast, releasing the line and at a 10:00 o’clock position. Close the bail arm, wind the line in until you sink your line, and that is it. I would do that again.
Again, start with the float half way down, trap the line, open the bail arm, bring the line right behind you, just stop and pause if you feel more comfortable. Cast over your head, releasing at 10:00 o’clock. Sink the line—a perfect cast.
Now, you do need to practice this and practice makes perfect, so practice as much as you can and you will improve and be a very good caster.
