Using 2 hands when making a case with a spinning rod is a lot easier as you indicated! I grew up using a spinning rod and I still use these exclusively. Great video and thanks for the tips Randy!

I grew up using common classic 'affordable' Zebco 202 reals with short handle (what I call pistol grip) rods, so I've always casted 1 handed until the last 2 or so years. After retiring at age 60, I finally got myself some nicer rods & reals & am retraining myself. For accurate casting under & between overhanging trees/brush with a spinning setup, I still fall back on a 1 handed side arm cast using my whole arm, staring at where I want the bait to land, & visualizing the entry, but I will try following your professional advice in my retraining. 😊

I think I was born with a spinning rod in my hand so most of this came naturally. There is less wear and tear with the two hand cast. Some times as circumstances would have I might skip one handed but mostly is two handed. Practice builds muscle memory and at 68 I still do so nearly everyday. I've got a pond 100 yards wide & 200 yards long I like to practice at near the house but also use my yard or a park all nearby. I use an old bait without hooks to cast. My cast are always well placed as I use targets for placement. It'll help greatly! It's just me and a couple golfers out there, them with their irons and a ball. For pitching & flipping I use an old frosting can. Good luck!

I fish casting setups 90% of the time but i can see what i am doing wrong with my spinning setup. One handed with little control. Thanks for another great video as always, Randy.

I started fishing at 9 year old boy with a 7foot spinning combo. I use sidearm casting. Overhand I didn't get any distance. Four years ago I started using a baitcaster 7foot

I need to work on my pitching skills using a spinning setup. I'm really good with a baitcaster, spinning leaves a lot to be desired. Back when I was a kid, I used my whole body to cast. My dad told me to pretend that I had a newspaper folded under my arm and to only use my wrist. I can still here him say, "don't drop my newspaper." Same thing when fly fishing.

You're right, it's almost always better to use 2 hands when you cast a spinning rod.

I'm surprised you kept closing your bail with the handle, I haven't done that since 1995.....🤷♂️

No. Put the line under the tip of your thumb. To release it, just roll your thumb back.
