Hey Rasmus,
you were/are completely right, you don't need to release after the stop and it turns out that I rarely do, particularly when false casting. In fact my Snakehead backcast relies on simply touching the line with the line hand at the very beginning of the Casting Stroke and releasing it immediately, right after the beginning of the Casting Stroke.
It turns out that I do this on the forward cast too - something I discovered last week while teaching with the glow line at night.
So yeah you're right, I was wrong, sorry about that
Thanks for the insight!
Cheers, Paul
PS what I don't understand is why pull-back still works under these conditions but it undoubtedly does.
