These ‘errors’ are well-documented in existing literature and easily overcome, to optimize your bass fishing
experience and haul. Here are but a few issues most beginners struggle with:
(i)overshot lure with too much power in the initial cast and the line release not slowed, or
(ii)
the lure falling short or being too light, with the line being release too early during
the cast and or the rod held too high after the line was released. (iii) lure landing too hard, due to the release
at too low of an angle and not arching enough in the air , and (iv) inaccurate casting (the most common) – missing
the mark, where the lure goes off-course with too much side-to-side action/motioning of the rod while
casting.
Practicing reel and line control, as well as the overhead cast might help.
