Hi all, What are some of your favourite grips to teach? 1. Thumb on top 2. Extended finger grip (or key grip) 3. V grip (like above except rotated left a bit for the right handed caster) 4. 3 point contact grip 5. Finger pointing grip I'd be interested to see photos of each of these if you have the ...

Very cool poppers, Paul!! I really like them all, my favourite one is probably the black, purple and (grizzle hackle?) One how many rods do you have?

All the best!

Thank's Graeme :) That is very true indeed! But i'm very lazy when fishing and it makes it easier ;) You are quite right though, you really don't have to do it. Incidentally i think lefty called that 'advanced hauling' where you haul quite slowly at the start of the stroke and then perform two 'spee...

Sounds good, Graeme, sorry to hear about that. I am pleased that the grip has prevented injury! That's always good news

All the best

Great stuff! Incidentally, i like your dog, Carol. What's his/her name?

All the best

Thank you, Graeme that's great

All the best

Using the haul to help accelerate/pick up the line during the pickup and lay down cast. I do it ALL the time, but i'm...

A cow (bull!) 9. Overhead power lines 10. Electric fence 11. A horse 12. last but not least, a car! :l...

Funny if I google “Memento Piscantur Saepe” this post comes up second. Is that the same for everyone? Just thinking about the Google algorithms here :cool: So it does! That's hilarious, all my posts seem to as well. :) nothing like a bit of funny Latin to brighten ones day. :laugh: All the best

Hi all, I think it's vastly important that people keep their skills up, no matter what the activity is. I still play the piano a couple of hours a day, learn new music, revisit old music etc, because everyone does get 'rusty' 😁 Trying to practice casting indoors can be a challenge. My garden is ok f...
