My questions concern task 11, roll-cast pickup at 40'. In short:
- Should I be prepared to complete this task on grass without any additional tension (no artificial anchor)?
- Does the roll cast have to be static?
It is actually really instructive to practice the static version of this task on slippery grass without any additional anchor. I think it really hones a lot of details of a roll cast. However, if I had to take the test today, I would not enjoy the static version on grass with no additional tension. It is not consistent (yet?).
Static roll-cast pickup on water, fine. Dynamic roll-cast pickup on grass: fine (this is what I use for resetting the line if need be).
