If someone is happy with their level of casting ability, that's fine. But to mock others who try to improve their skills isn't. On average, the casting in this country isn't very good, and a lot of people don't realise how easy it is to make some big improvements. Dan |

There isn't a downside but there is an opportunity cost obviously. I don't think anyone was mocking anyone. I think the reverse is true too, ie you shouldn't mock people content with their substandard casting ability either. |

Nail, head, hit! Bazza Im a reasonable caster, that owns an array of rods from $1,000+ to $100 cheapies. Sure I know I could learn study and practice to be a better caster but I don't own the anorak and notebook that it takes to become a flyfishing nerd that has oodles of certificates to there name in regards to casting. Sure id love to be a better caster, but do I want to sacrifice my weekends learning to be a better caster, rather than just getting out there in the fantastic NZ countryside and actually catching fish? I think we all know the answer! |

I believe we have found the reason you had such a dry spell this season past while some of us were nailing it. If you practice your casting: 10 minutes on the grass, 2 times a week you will become a much better caster and I don't believe you could give me a downside to that. |
