I have never had success casting the knot through the guides. I've read the suggestions, followed the diagrams, but at the end of the day, no dice. My solution to my inability to execute what others say can be done has been to shorten up my leader to about 4ft so I don't cast the knot through the guides and if I am going to throw something heavy, I'll tape on a breakaway cannon. Decent workaround, but not a solution.
