Basically my understanding of throwing a knuckleball in baseball is that the pitcher releases it with VERY little if any spin.

If you can get your cast to have that same effect on the plug (no tumbling) the cast will go a lot farther. The wind just doesn't seem to get as good a grip on it.

As to how to cast to get that to happen, it's a little tougher to describe. Sometimes you might have to back off on your power a little bit, but I think it really is mostly related to smooth acceleration during your cast.
