They don't Morsie, but you also only get one shot at each target, and the clock is running and tails cost you precision, and so does out of shape loops, but you already knew that...
At least we are allowed to haul in comp, which we aren't in the test..

Grants line was supposed to be superb in that regard, someone get one made and we can try, I would be super surprised if it was impossible for today's casters to do...

You are right Lasse, 65ft with a 21 footer is what was mentioned in the book, I thought I'd read that he'd beaten it some years later. Have you cast a 21 foot rod like these, I'm guessing they were greenheart. Only have had the pleasure of throwing a 21 foot carbon copy thing made by Sage for a bri...

I have seen those pics Lars, they came through on the copies I received. Unfortunately they don't tell you much.

And I don't even think anyone is capable of speycasting a 4/0 iron to 47 yards today :-).

When I looked yesterday (John Hopkins Uni) Taiwan had 329 confirmed cases and 5 deaths from the virus. Taiwan was all tooled up and ready to...

Hi Davy

Sounds like a rebound curve, are you casting with the rod angled out to the side? If yes, try to deliver with a more vertical rod orientation.

Yes but I’m pretty sure that later in the exam when it comes to tailing loops you will see Creep described as a fault. Creep is not the only fault term we have in fly casting. Crashed Anchors would be another. If Creep isn’t a fault for the IFF then they have to be completely consistent with this t...

I make them with cheap nylon, 0,5 0,4 and 0,3 mm and go by the 40/30/30 or 60/20/20 formular. And then a piece of fluff at the end. 9-10 feet normally.
