A tailing trailing bottle nose dolphin loop. Very rare to see one in the wild.

Nah, he's off the mark there. Next he'll be advocating left threaded bolts on the right hand wheels of the car because braking hard undoes the nuts on that side due to angular inertia ...

Cast a side loop and only show people a view from the side. Simples.

I'm glad they've updated their definitions, especially the definition of creep, but this one triggers my OCD tendencies: Casting_Planes.jpg The fly leg is a 2D object. A plane going through it can occupy any orientation through 180°, from vertical to horizontal and beyond. For the "out of plane...

*interesting that SA write this. I did some testing of lighter lines making faster shots than heavier lines. Heavier lines don’t load the rod quicker, only more, which in turn slows the shot. I've always taken that little bit of marketing to mean "it loads the rod with less line outside the ti...

How much does line stretch come into play with this test James?

The stuff I use is Jerry Brown Hollow Spectra in various breaking strains.

. But, any recommendations for a saltwater braid substitute? I assume we are talking about backing braid, rather than making leaders with it … I am a huge fan of the hollow gel-spun braid used by the big game fishermen. When it’s used as it should be, by splicing loops and joins, it’s possible to m...

I love that summation - I'm shamelessly stealing it!
