| Here are three steps in making an overhand cast with a closed-face spincasting reel. |
| The photo shows the starting position: thumb depressing the button. The rod points forward to the target and up at about 45 degrees. |
|
| Then the rod is swung back smoothly while holding the button to the position shown. All done with smoother and faster motion than stop-action photos suggest. |
|
Then the rod is powered forward and the button released at about a 45 degree angle, ending in the position shown, while the lure sails to the target.
Turn the crank to begin the retrieve. |
