I do not try to cast long distance with only 30 feet of WF off the rod tip. The shooting head also has much thinner diameter shooting line, which seems less tolerant of rapid fluctuations in tension. That said, it may just be that I am more conscious of making a more measured backcast when using he...

Something i would do different with a shooting head and a thin/mono shooting line is stopping or slowing down the underline/shooting line in situations with a wind in from the front to straighten the leader. With f.ex. my S.A. Steelhead taper (WF) it wouldn't be nescessary because usually straighte...

It is a WF... Lasso...

But a DT is a full line...

To make it a shooting head, you will have to cut it somewhere,and connect it... :D

Sorry, still a good question... Svend !

Ha, ha...

THAT is a good question Svend... !

If you cut a WF and connect it again then it is a shooting head ???

As you say "Shooting taper" could be a better word... ?

I still wonder if anyone else have tried this ? Or use it ? Or have an opinion on the subject ? Where are the "usual" suspects... instructors, casters and flyfishers ? From 19. november to 22. november (3 days) there's around 1045 reads/hits on this topic. But only a few posting... Yeah, ...

Just a small detail... Svend smashed the rod in the ground to be able to not make a stop in his first attempts. That worked for him to release without a stop to start with (he has for sure optimized his technique because no one want to smash the water (or ground) with every cast) ... Those i have &...

Okay, so you stop the rod and then release the line when shooting. Then as you say, you are not already doing it... As an answer to that and to post 399: (if you want to try it out): Start out with shooting only a short line. Cast as you are used too, but release the line BEFORE you would normally ...

Telling me that it happens is like saying that you can perform nuclear fusion in the oven at home, demonstrating that it happens is another thing altogether... Perhaps you are already doing it? It is no secret as grhen says, but many doesn't do it. And not many has been teached to do it. (Some have...

Rasmus, Around the time you started the C&R thread, I started a thread on release timing, thinking I had been releasing “too soon” , which turned out not to be. There were other interesting threads at the time, and this one went un-noticed without any replies. This was my final question in that...

Thanks Svend for your support on this topic... I am very thankful that you have worked with the release and that you are still using it... It seems like you have developed your own style of "Cast & Release" with your "shotting from the hip" style, that maybe comes from your ...

As Svend menchioned lots use it here in Denmark, mainly because of marketing/promotion. I rarely use it myself, only when i find it nescessary which mainly is sometimes when fishing dry flies (mainly to avoid FLS / floating leader syndrome) on glassy surfaces. What i do not like is that it has some...
