Re: Current Stroke
I agree with John, move your body forward at the start, keeping your hands static and then as your body movement finishes accelerate with the hands to finish the cast. This works for both the elongated European style and the traditional ‘no drift’ style of casting. The addition of using the body/ste...

Re: Current Stroke
You could use your body more effectively to add additional omph, try stepping back and forward keeping one foot static.

Re: WC 2021???
Hi John, here in the UK it’s essential travel only, it’s enforcement varies from county to county. I can travel to/from mobile radio sites for work but cannot travel for leisure purposes. Some of the sites are in large fields. My back garden is only big enough for fly accuracy (just). Fingers crosse...

Re: WC 2021???
Even travel within some countries is ‘essential travel only’ which sone are finding very restrictive.
Perhaps, if travel within a country is allowed and gatherings, maybe an old style postal event could be held with a number of events around the world with results being posted.

Re: WC 2021???

I personally believe that world championships in ‘casting’ and its various formats will be a casualty again thi...

Re: Straw Poll on Stepping
I’ve tried stepping with both left and right, whilst being right handed I found the stepping with the left gave longer casts with a stiffer rod (T42) when using the ICSF 38g line, however the accuracy was not good as compared to stepping with the right on the same outfit. Changing the rod to a sligh...

Re: PUALD Challenge
James, Change the settings on the playback to HD1080 and 1/4 speed. Tracy’s body movement has completed before her arms come in to play. The haul could be fraction later to maximise the additional acceleration and increase the line speed. The elongated movement of the casting hand/arm might be over ...
