The Board

Were you using the frequency trout, Lasse?

This is very interesting and i'll have to try it. Do you slip line at loop straight position on the back cast, Paul? Do you find the heavier lines tuck more so you are thinking of slowing down a bit to compensate?

All the best

Hi Bendix, Sorry! :cool: Drift is repositioning the rod between casting strokes :D . Have you found Pauls Masterclass on here? I think it would help tremendously, it's single handed, but the same principals apply to any bendy stick. The feel is quite subtle. When you 'stop' on the back cast, imagine...

Hi Bendix, Welcome to the board! :cool: Sinking lines are a funny one, take out all the force (power) and drift drift drift drift drift (thanks Lasse). I always used to cast sinkers with a belgian cast, but i cast them straight and drift a lot now. There are a few reasons to drift, but in this case ...

Hi Tom,

I use Pauls Thunderbolt 6 for fishing (and grass casting). It's an amazing line! It performs overhead, Speys/rolls and presentation casts/mends exceptionally well.

All the best!

All the best

They were from a batch of lines that Josh had made for himself (apparently it gets hot in Michigan!) and...

I like heavy reels, the Hardy Perfect is nice on your rod, Paul

All the best

Hi Paul, Thanks for asking for me! This is interesting. One of my tropical Thunderbolt 6's shows very little memory now (for cool UK climates). I can't remember what i did to it, but; 1. I cast them on grass a lot 2. I clean then regularly in warm water and soap 3. I stretch them When I store my sal...

Nice! How did you get on with the fishing? Hopefully you managed to kick the year off well, which i'm sure you did
