Anyone tried spey casting with a broomstick?

Is that how you operate as well? Are your corrections done in a different color or itallics? I think itallics would make for easier reading so that is what I will do. No, never had to do that. As far as I can recall I've never been challenged for making changes to a post after the fact. I have been...

...I do not have any different privileges in regards to the time allowed to make edits to a post on this forum than you do.

As a moderator I think you do Gordy. Maybe you could put your edits in another colour, or as italics?

Have you made a video of this yet?

Good thread

reminds me how ignorant I am.

It's clearly your party but, just because you can make a decision, or even that you should make a decision, doesn't mean that the decision you ultimately make is automatically a good one. Further to that Lasse is one of the good guys IMO and you can put me on "waiting authorisation" too u...

As far as I could find out (and in this case I had it confirmed) the nano particles were in the paint/varnish on the blank. To the best of my knowledge the addition of those particles...

So I was surprised to be shocked as I reached for the rake in our garage today only to be faced with a dead pheasant hanging by its nose amidst the gardening implements - For the love of FEATHERS!

Hi Marc The way Ward tells it, traditional double spey is an oval cast. The cast we know, where most of the setting up and all the change of direction take place with the line on the water, only appeared with glass or carbon rods - that puts it in the 1960s and into early 70s. I think, if they were...

I believe that this type of anchor became established via the Doublespey cast around the advent time of either glass rods or graphite rods. Prior to that time, I believe that the inherent slow recovery and "heavy" tip weight of rods constructed of greenheart and bamboo combined to allow t...
