It's a funny one isn't it, i used to think really hard about the casting movements, and then i relaxed, and everything came together :pirate: very interesting regarding the torque twist, i do this when i'm doing spey casting with a single handed rod, especially the single spey! I think you do too, b...

I have always thought about building one for myself, don't have the time i'm afraid! I could make a small continuo organ, but that's a bit of a chore! Haha! It would be, especially with the technology in 5G, everyone can play together no matter where they are in the world, pretty awesome. Never thou...

I'll tell you my own experiences with the pulling stroke. I too thought it was the most efficient, and it certainly produces some pretty loops especially with some sort of extended drift/layback. Many years ago I had a phone call from a competition caster in the UK who wanted a lesson to see if he ...

Hello everyone, I hope you are all very well indeed! My name is Nick, and i have been fly fishing for some 15 years now (i'm 23) and i absolutely love it. Dare i say it, i actually prefer the casting to the fishing! :pirate: I currently fish for trout at a local club in the midlands. I used to fish ...

How do you see if someone is pulling or pushing? Cheers, Bart I think Paul explained it the best wi...

Hi Nick, welcome to the Board :D Cheers, Paul Thank you, Paul! The reason for this is the fact i use a pull through stroke (as Mel Krieger said "like throwing a javelin") which you can't do with a tip action rod, you have to push them through the stroke Hi Nick, I think we met at Sportfis...

Hi Lasse, I'm sure you know :upside: Tip action rods flex in the upper third :pirate: I find that anglers do exchange terms a lot. My feeling is that Fast, medium and slow describe the recovery of the rod, and tip-through action describe how a rod bends when it is flexed and loaded. What rod do you ...

Hello everyone, I have just joined the board, after Paul's recommendation! I have two Hardy HBX 9' #6's, and i would highly recommend them. I would describe these as progressive, with a very fast recovery. Quite a lovely tool indeed for FISHING DISTANCES (just casting the leader to about 100') and i...
