casting accuracy is important...people say you should sit in your lounge and pitch etc...i say go down to a small dam close to home and practise rather spend as much time on the water as you can.
if you want to catch big fish learn to fish a techinique that catches big fish...frog fishing...but you need to learn to be patient...some days i go out and only land 1 decent fish...get some real hits but loose a lot of good fish.
much like cranking...i mastered the cranking technique which helped win many comps...but lost many big fish learning.
in a matter of 1 hour at alberts falls i lost a couple of fish which looked like they were in the 3/4 kg mark just because i couldnt keep the fish down...every time they jumped the 30 footer would come flying past me...i spent many hours trying different colour cranks and different depths.
the most important thing to do while practising...is tune the crankbait...make sure the crank run straight...you can tune it by moving the eye on the lip...with very small ajustments...and if you find a crank doesnt catch fish mark it...and try a different crank in the same colour...i use to use 4 or 5 different cranks and find the one the fish liked and put it into the comp tray...which only had lures in which caught fish...no lure went into that box unless it caught fish...i dont know if it was the rattle or wobble but some lure just didnt catch fish.
dont leave cranks or any lure for that matter on the deck in the sun...they will crack.
