I start by having my bait approx.1 foot from the rod tip for either spinning or baitcasting. I then bring the lure over my right shoulder perpendicular to the water surface in a smooth motion which loads the rod, then proceed with snap motion forward toward my target. For spinning, release the line with your index finger as the rod just passes your shoulder in the forward motion. For baitcasting, the same applies here, but use your thumb for the release and feather the spool with your thumb if your antibacklash settings are set very low. If you have set the antibacklash settings correctly, you will not have to thumb the spool until right when the bait touches the water. It is very important to apply thumb pressure when the bait hits the water, otherwise you will end up with a backlash i.e. a big mess of tangled line on your spool. I use the sidearm cast on occasion when working weedlines and pockets in weedlines or if there is overhead tree limbs. It is very similar to the overhead cast in the the bring back points and release points are similar, but in relation to the side of your torso, rather than the shoulder. Your rod will swing parallel to the water's surface vs. perpendicular. The main advantage's to this presentation is a quieter entry and not hitting tree limbs if working close to the shoreline. Proper casting is a necessity when you fish for Florida bass.	Mr. B's Fishing Hole- Sarasota's bass fishing tackle specialists with live bait and expert reel repair.
