Dirk,

Very nice!

Is the waypoint always set "at" the rod tip, or can it be placed at some point in space distant from the tip?

Most folks I met that were really good at music or angling thought of themselves as constant beginners. These people were humble and never seized to learn new things. There's always something new. tz, The current US president has made the Dunning- Kruger Effect quite topical. It is essentially the ...

Shooting head.

While you are filming, please document your achievement of challenge #1. It's been like a year and the only thing I've seen was from Lasse, and there I suspect some subterfuge!

I still have not fully recovered from challenge #1.

I am not fully involved in this discussion, but I can offer this: When fishing mangrove shorelines it is much more efficient to have the fly track sideways along the shore than to retrieve it directly away. You present the silhouette of the fly along a longer path that way. But you have to cast from...

No worries mate, look forward to that chat and a cast, hopefully next year. I am interested as I was casting some distance a few months back and a mate was saying many of my back casts and some (less) of my forward cast with the 5 weight MED had a dolphin nose. John John, That is very interesting. ...

Talking about forearm rotation and arc made me think of a recent photo of a rookie NFL quarterback that was just in the sports news: F33C7785-A7D6-44CC-9677-2C2583662DBB.jpeg What the photo doesn't show is the rapid torso and shoulder rotation that is also involved. Making things fly far in differen...

Graeme, So... The lift takes place after loop formation? In that case it is a mend... a vertical reach mend. I have, in fact, also used that, but I thought I was simply adjusting the location of the tip and essentially repositioning the tether point of the rod leg. It does appear to "tighten" the lo...

Thanks John, Blocking earlier helped a lot. I was pretty much stopless (blockless?) While it feels strange, blocking with the shoulder allowed me to tighten up the bc loops significantly. Very helpful with the 12wt! Distance is important, but so is being able to cast all day... and big tackle wears ...
