Mine too, but mostly just the look of my flyleg

It’s any task that requires an increase in linespeed Lasse, changing planes as an example. It’s not just about mentoring though, it’s about instructing in general. If the basic casting stroke is cramping a casters capacity to vary it then they have to learn how to change it so they can. In some qua...

That's curved line presentation. If its the slow-medium-fast falsecasting, then that's CI task 8, and yeah, agree on the importance of that task, it shows much more than most realise.

And yeah, don't mentor anymore either, can't mentor impossible

We have a common student, incidentally, who has this problem. Training the slow to fast MCI exercise they can’t generate enough speed from their forearm to create the fast loops, and so end up shifting weight to try make this happen. That’s a weakness of the frozen wrist approach. The speed has to ...

That casters prefer short weights to long weights is a given, its alot harder to have a long weight positioned right, than to get a short one in the right place. Has nothing really to do with the rod, everything to do with the caster ;) Cheers Lasse Lasse So is this why I find any rod/line combo I ...

I followed up the initial discussion with some practical tests. Using a 'weak link' in my S55 shooting head outfit, I determined that I could apply more force (by the fact the weak link snapped) with a 55g weight than with a 55g fly line. The difference was stark, no matter how aggressive I made th...

The first picture could have been the danish coast 😅 :D I might be mad, but not using a 12 weight on the Danish coast mad :D 20240309_10564...

It seems only the tippet needs be visible, and not clear.
