Tip: Practise the backcast as an equal partner to the forward cast
How to do it: Look back, open your stance if needed, watch the rod tip, keep it in a narrow tunnel, and fix backcast problems before forward-cast problems
Mistake it fixes: Neglecting the backcast
Why it works: The forward cast can only be as good as the backcast that loads it. A wandering tip creates tailing loops and poor accuracy.
When it matters most: All fly casting
