I was in the same boat earlier this year and the suggestions I received on this board were very helpful. When I first started I was very discouraged, but it didn't take long to get the hang of things. You'll be casting consistently before you know it! I can now cast with my curado with as just one break engaged. You'll get there too.

One great tip I had was to use Rat-L-Traps - 1/2 ounce when you first start out. They're easy to cast and hey - they'll even catch fish.
