Naw, after you find that pause as you go to let line out you should be "golden". I'm sure you will do well as this was the 1st time I tried the rood 'n reel and felt okay with it. youtube is your friend when it comes to new casting styles and tips... I can't wait for your first post (mine to, but I need to find time to use this additional tool too) when you land a fish. HAVE FUN.

Also: as long as your not "antiqueing" because you have too and use the "pill" to make "antiqueing" go away, it's all good, right?
