Hi Saul, I think it would be very useful for you and everyone to this try to replicate and therefore isolate the cause of collisions. This is how many of us teach curing tailing loops. If you can make line collisions on purpose then you can absolutely avoid them. Also I think it would assist the Board!
Thanks,
Paul

Agreed Paul. Unfortunately work will see me hanging up my waders till late May. However, I shall on return try and isolate the actual problem. I'll also have time to experiment with various line and rod setups to see if it's limited to that particular Rod /Skagit / Tip setup.
Cheers,
Saul

Line collision
I'm wondering: Does landing the anchor too far back add to the chances of a line collision?

Hi Randy,
I would think that the opposite would be the case.
Cheers, Paul

Thanks Paul.
I realized that I fell into the bad habit of not finishing my swing, and therefore my anchor pointed to the left of my target -when I was casting right-handed. As a result, my forward cast crossed the railroad tracks, so to speak.

That would do it! Best piece of advice I know is to watch the line end at all times during the Sweep. I learned that from Lee - never take your eyes off it!
Cheers, Paul
