John
When I am false casting and want to shorten my line during false casting, I teach to always bring the rod hand to the line hand and not opposite. If people bring the line hand (including some line hanging down in slings) to the rod hand they mostly get tangled with the hanging line in the reel. Ok, this is for storing line in slings in the line hand and then lengthening and again shortening the carry.
I take it you were refering to just lengthening the line part by part when moving to the next further ring?
