Na, Paul do have a vimeo account, found it afterwards

Well I don’t think it’s loading and I’m not sure what stiffening up the blank means but after Merlin said it might be a form of pull-back / forced unloading, this has sat in my head for a while and it feels very similar “conventional” pullback.

Cheers, Paul

Well...

Paul made me scratch my head (again)... so I went right out and tried it. And, he is right - this "torque twist" input will accentuate pull back too!

But I have not been trying that. I have been adding the twist at the point of my quickest wrist turn-over and haul, which I follow with a definite forward follow-through push. So I cannot see how this is a form of pull back. I cannot understand how I can be accelerating and decelerating at the same time?

I can tell you that it is much easier to play with this type of stuff with an extremely slow rod. Well... not actually easier casting-wise, but easier to see and feel the effect when you get it right.

Try getting some high speed footage. That really nails what happens

I’ve been doing this without the haul on my glass and practicaster, I think there’s less bend after the stop and the stop is sharper. I agree with Lasse that video is needed and it’s also possible we are all doing something different.

Will make a high speed video before Thursday and will upload then. I started using it in this way to cast a bushy fly on a long leader without flyline. (Or started using it again apparently - because I’ve already talked about it years ago but had forgotten )

Cheers, Paul

Years ago is an understatement
You taught it to me in 2003 so no wonder you've forgotten

Cheers
Lasse

That’s funny, I’ve been trying it to cast mayfly on a 10ft leader and #2 Orvis Supafine line

And fantastic thank you
When are you coming to be abducted again?

Cheers Paul

Haha, surely if I'm part of the organising then it cant be an abduction, can it?

Maybe fishing tomorrow after work, gonna give this a try. Hopefully all the water hasn't dried up.
