Bought a second Kastking Royal Legend. It seems that one will always be seriously tangled and shelved while the other is in use. Genius.....me having two identical baitcasters, ya know?
Here is what I got: 15 lb Kastking Mono, 10lb Kastking floro leader.

And that’s when the disease really kicks in is when you start buying two of everything.

lol, you must've had this disease at one time or another, ;-)
Todays casting session resulted in a number of great side casts but in the end I had a nice pileup. This time, because of having been warned I did not yank on it and was successful in detangling. I feel like an Over-Comer now!!!

I had that disease before. Had up to 4 infections of Daiwa Minis at once. I think I have multi purchase antibodies now

I've watched a bunch of videos in the last couple of days and hoping to get some additional instinct on this type of casting. I have adjusted the fall or drop properly and have set the magnets on all the way for now. Using a 1/2 ounce weight I began threatening the nature all around me. It seems that, at least at the beginning, one must concentrate allot more.
Question: Should I mostly learn to side-cast or is overhead casting okay? Side casting and loop casting feels pretty good but it seems I get more birds nests than when I overhead cast. Which method do you use the most?

I am mostly a side arm caster. I do cast overhead once in a while if I’m trying to get way out there, especially in salt conditions. One hint to help alleviate backlash is to turn the reel so the spool rotation is vertical instead of horizontal before the lure hits the water. I don’t make it a habit to do that all the time, just when I am trying to get maximum distance.

I have it almost perfectly adjusted. It is my casting accuracy that has to improve. It is when I screw up a cast and the presentation falls short that the spool keeps turning. No big deal accept when I forget to thumb the spool to a stop. When I forget then BLAM!, Birdsnest!

Have you ever heard of The Legend of Super Skier (Chad Mitchell trio). Here is a sampling of the lyrics:
"Now the moral of my story
Though my story's kinda gory
Is very simple even to a dope
You buy the fastest clothes you can,
Then talk skiing like a man,
But don't let people catch you on the slope!"
The moral of the song, especially as it is applied to fishing is that its easy to talk big. I'm a professional talker!
