The Switch Cast (Jump Roll)

[Paul Arden]

If you want an even longer roll cast you can do what Haysie does and walk backwards 15 yards placing the line on the ground and then forwards 15 yards forming the D-loop. Neither of these casts work well if you are wading away from the shore of course

I do find the Snap-lift interesting. It gives me an extra 2m or so. It should be allowed

What is it with you and those 2 meters

Come to the switch cast comp in Sweden in spring, and show it, unless you need those 2 meters to catch up with the rest of us

It's a long way to go for a Swicth Cast competition. When are you coming out here?

Cheers, Paul

[Lasse Karlsson]

When the fishing gets good

Don't know mate, hopefully before you start living on a sailboat going around the world

Cheers

That would be best This is very long term planning now, but I might keep the Belum boat then too. When we have a houseboat next year you could plan a family trip! From what I can see happening around the lake I think the fishing might be going off right now. I shall know tomorrow when I have a play again. Just booked my flights to Australia.

probably the best SC instruction video I`ve seen so far! Will steal a few bits for my teaching... Only thing I would have added, would have been a few sentences on how to create a V-Loop vs a D-Loop...

Thanks Paul! This excellent video would have saved me a lot of practice time - and thoroughly studying Simons wonderful book - if it existed 3 years earlier. At least now I know how all those Belgians cast...

[Paul Arden]

Thanks guys! It has actually been around for five years in a hidden App!

D vs V is not a bad discussion. As Lasse points out it can be controlled by tip path. I'm unconvinced that's the only variable.

Velocity matters too, but its basicly the difference between a slow tight loop, and a slow fat loop, just up side down...

To be honest I actually don't know. I've always seen the point form immediately at the rod tip and run down the D-loop. It can also have to with how the rod tip reverses direction which is in part down to the attributes of the rod and also what the caster does.

So now we have four different variables (I believe) tip path forming the loop, velocity of the line, pulll-back/reverse torque and material composition of the rod.

That's why I didn't discuss it
