For the application we're talking about here (someone struggling to 50ft plus a little shoot?) then a very slow start should be fine and probably preferable and here's why: You absolutely have to delay rotation as much as possible: \\\\\\\/ Learners often have trouble with this because their mind is...

Okay just for a laugh: A loop unrolls because the fly leg and the rod leg are travelling at different speeds: 1: We speed up the fly leg in the direction of the cast during the accelerating part of the casting stroke 2: As we form a loop the the rod tip mo...
