Jerry: I love that "Fly O" LOL.. I'm gonna do like Tony says cause it is
cold as hell here LOL... I'm gonna make me a "redneck Fly O" I used to make
and sell "hillbilly back scratchers" that is a corn cob, drilled out with a
1/4" dowel glued into it for the handle, so i have all the parts, to make a
corncob handle.. 1/4" dowel "rod", and some yarn.. Oh, and like Tony says. I
have a TV ROFL.. Thanks to everybody for all the casting tips. I printed out
all the info to read and re read.. then do like the saying goes "If at first
you don't succeed.. try, try again"... Thanks again to all, Chuck

Confession time !! When I was learning to cast, I had difficulty with the
straight wrist because of years of bass fishing with baitcasters.
I purchased a Joan Wulff wristlock.

worked very well I also picked up a Fly-O. It is actually tougher to use
than an actual flyrod. If you can cast the Fly-O, you can cast the hell
out
of a
fly rod

As for the stop, imagine you are hammering a nail. When you hit the nail
you stop the stroke. Duplicate that motion.

I will add this too, If Chuck is bending his wrist
like you would with a spinning rod, that will destroy
the cast too. I tell my beginners to put their thumb
or first finger in top of the grip in line with the
rod shaft and press down with that finger while
casting. This will help you keep your wrist straight.
Another thing you mention, the stop. That is important
in getting the rod to load.
