Was using Abu 7000"S last week and realised that my thumb was pretty much touching the spool immediately after casting. Must of been a habit I picked up after countless bird nests. Beauty of this habit is that fishing at night when you can't see your rig, enables you to clamp down on the spool BEFORE the rig hits the drink. Reckon it must cut down on distance somewhat, but you develop a sixth sense with your casting about when the rig will hit the drink. Has taken years of practice and thousands of casts but I still get over runs occasionally.

I know some baitcast enthusiasts practice casting using the rubber weight the day before the fishing day. The weight of the rubber is the same as the lure weight they use the next day. So they get use to it. Developing this sixth sense.
