Tip
Tip: Control after the cast, not just the cast: lift line, drift, and control slack
How to do it: After the cast, lift line, manage drift, and control slack, because most mistakes happen after the cast
Mistake it fixes: Focusing only on the cast and ignoring post-cast control
Why it works: Slack after the cast kills strike detection and drift control. Post-cast line management is what turns a good cast into a good presentation.
