My boy told me he wanted to learn to use a baitcasting reel so I grabbed a rig from the shed for him. I tied on a 3/8 oz sinker and added a small orange cork so he could see were it landed. After a few minutes and birdnests he had a pretty good feel for it. Time for some accuracy now. I got a 5gln bucket and put it upside down in the yard and told him to hit it. Thats exactly how I learned to do it. Admittedly I needed the practice so I rigged up another rod and we made a game of it. If ya hit the bucket you got to call the next cast. He really got better in a hurry and we had a blast together. We would rag each other when we blew a cast and congradulate each other when we drilled it. It was some good fun with my boy. He's a baitcast man now.
