This is a tale of two lakes. Intertwined lakes, in Barry County, Michigan. Where somehow the water has gone away. Upper and Lower Crooked Lakes, both near and dear to me, are suffering from the lowest water levels I've seen in the 35+ years I've been fishing them.

The golf swing is actually a great analogy because I do play a high draw. Keep the motion smooth and release the club head. Sounds like it will work for this. My father in law plays what he likes to call the 40 yard fade! He's not much help when it comes to fishing!

I also cast right reel left. I kinda wish I would have learned the other way. It much easier find reels if you reel right handed.  What Lb test line are you using it might be easier to start out with a light line like 10lb just a thought

Jefferson

12lb yo zuri hybrid. Have to tinker more with the brakes. Revo S, I have the 3 spring brakes on and the 3 pitch brakes off. Gonna try later at the park, seems like less wind today. Maybe turn off one of the spring brakes. It's not really the backlash, its more about trying to get distance.

It's all about the tension knob.
"Not in the clamor of the crowded streets nor in the shouts and plaudits of the throng, but within oneself lies victory or defeat."

My buddy gave his revo s and I can get it to cast very far either. I have messed with it very much it is the only one I have with that kind of breaking system. If you get it figured out let me know
