Thanks a lot, mate! Bob Popvics said: "Fly tying is evolution." I couldn't agree more. Oh, and bass are indeed fish, which often are far better catchable on spinning lures/flies. Just the old typical straight fly movement will fail often! Of course I know, that a fair number of fly fishermen right n...

That's interesting. I prefer to have the rod hand relaxing the grip close the end of rotation. Anyway, I'll keep it in mind and give it a go. "Squeezing stop" reminded me to a video, in which one of the guys of the Leland shop in the US said, that all distance casters squeeze around the stop. I neve...

The thicker a line is, the less surface it has for the same mass. So the higher weighted lines have less surface based friction for the given mass compared to ligther lines and thus go further. Regards Bernd Bernd, Can you further explain this? This discounts line friction on the guides I take it. ...

You can fix this just with the “squeeze stop”.

What exactly is that about and how does it work, mate?

What would you try to get a student to slow down on the back cast? Hi mate, all humans (free of age) ime have strong desire to match voice and movements. Having said this I make my student speak and cast and then he/she right from the start matches both. Try this yourself: Speak "whuuuuuUUMP" (UUMP...

The only reason not to use IFF definitions with students is because they don’t fkn work :laugh: Mate, In my experience it's hardly ever the definition itself but the single instructor making proper use of whatever def in his lesson. Having said this I never will limit my teaching due to ONLY keepin...

Hi everyone.
If the term "loop" is in use for a century, then I am sure, it would take at least 5 centuries to replace that term. So I'll have no chance to see that happening anyway.

With regards the popper I don’t try to pick the popper out the water with the roll cast, instead I roll the line into the air leaving the popper on the water and then pick it off with a backcast. I find that a much better solution. That's how I do it. Not only with poppers. Usually my leader has to...

Hi Paul, I tried to make some slomos yesterday testing hook bendings comparing different pulling forces and speeds. 250 fps wasnt enough. Not that easy to get it on tape. Now am after salmon for a week. Will try to back up further when I am back. What I can tell so far: Slowly pulling the leader to ...
