Stay away from BRAID!
Its a thumb thing mostly...start with a medium action shorter rod...
do not try to throw it 50 yards...get a half ounce lead weight or topwater w/o hooks...
the reel quality is so so key...8-11 ball bearings...
set drag andspool line tight onto reel between a towel...
learn to cast sidearm, overhand and flip/pitch...
quality rod-reel and not too heavy a line is where it is at....
hand-eye co-ord will get better and better...
try to use all the same reels and the same model
rods...
I have made over 125,000 casts since 1980 in many clubs and the 12 years since retirement
so "easy for me to say>>>LOL...
