About
My off-the-water casting lessons are 2 hours of focused coaching and practice on how to setup and properly cast either a spinning reel, baitcasting reel, or both. If you're good at casting but need training on rigging, then we'll spend time doing just that. Rigging methods taught include but are not limited to Texas rigs, Carolina rigs, jigs & trailers, soft swimbaits, topwaters, dropshot, jerkbaits, crankbaits, etc. I also cover hook selection, hook changing, knot tying, bait customization, and more!
