It’s a simple thing – really. Handle down spool out. In Greg’s video his handle is up a little too high for my liking. When the handle is all they down the spool is all the way out, and you have less of a chance of your handle turning all the way around a few times and having your roller catch the line. Hand placement does not matter, as long as your index finger is about even with the spool. It should not be too high or too low. I have small hands and put four fingers above the stem when casting. I would not worry about where the roller is. When placing it from the spool to roller keep the line between the roller and spool tight and you will have no problems. Handle down spool out is also true for the 706z. If your handle is down, but your spool is in, try putting a couple of washes in the handle, until you have handle down spool out. It is very important, especially in a crosswind. NIB—YEP the “ finger trick” will save you much hard ache.
