Re: Drifting styles
Not sure if you're still following this topic but I have a confusion with drift when the stroke lengthen and becomes more parallel to the water, are we still lifting the hand up or focusing more on translating it back, like in your masterclass video you're probably keeping like 30' or so in the air ...

Re: The overhang question

The overhang question
Speaking generally with your most common trout tapers, how much overhang should I expect to be able to handle as a competent caster in false casting situations? I know there's variables as rear taper length and of course skill level. I'm currently using a Cortland line with I believe a 47' head, but...
Re: The Grip
Interesting enough, as a meat cutter by trade I've switched to a "v grip" while holding the knife in the last few years as it feels stronger. Because of my profession I deal with a tired wrist alot so I have to be careful. I personally think how you grip the rod can make a dramatic differe...
Re: The Grip
I seem to throw less tails with my thumb flat on the cork, when I try a variation like the v grip I start to run into problems, the reason for this I'm not entirely certain, it feels like a weaker hold for me. With he thumb flat on the cork I guess I mean the classic hold everyone is initially taught.
Re: Pull-back
In the description you mention you use it considerably in distance, but in the video you say it's not about distance just setting a tight loop, anyways I'm going to have to try this for my roll casts.

Re: Leader design and wind knots
Where in the stroke should I be focusing on improving if tails are happening near end of the cast?
