seems like an intentional Bloody-L anchor

haven't seen this before and it doesn't seem like a mistake, anyone know what it is ?

the cast starts at 2:20 here

cheers,
marc

Bad Double Spey

sushiyummy · Post by **sushiyummy** » Sat Feb 11, 2012 4:22 pm

It looks to me that it is a 1/2 of a double spey, and the other 1/2 is a kack-handed roll cast that becomes a movement into the firing position for the fwd cast.

The later 1/2 cast employs a virtual pulley (apex of the D loop) to energize the anchor into the right place without having the rod tip travel as far upstream as a full and proper double spey. This economy in movement allows the caster to get into the firing position early, thus the ability to fire when the kiss and go anchor hits.

Snapped double

Is a snapped double a combination of snapped tee and double spey?

I thought with a snapped tee, the fly end leg travels in a loop above the tip? But in this case, the loop is below the tip.

I dont think its a cast, looks more like a Volvo Estate.

It's a snapped snake roll variation, to me.

Hi Crunch,
what makes it a bad example of a double Spey cast?
I agree it's a double Spey.

What the bloody L does it matter?

I see the downstream rod tip movement (some term it as a snap) as assisting the anchor to move further upstream, thus making the balance of the double spey rod tip upstream movement redundant.

I like to think this is a Half-and-Half (Double anchor lift, Snap Tee jedi rod movement for balance of relocating anchor).

Much like a hybrid.

I'm not sure it is a snapped double, I put a lot more snap and tension and upstream poke into mine. Isnt it a shit double that he is able to get away with because of the short head?

Ta, Lee.

that's what i was thinking at first Lee and the short head seems to be what makes this cast possible, however, if it is a mistake, the bloke's reaction time to catch up and make it work is quite f'n good !

for those who called Snap-Double, is this a known cast or did you make it up ? ok, i don't know much but i've never heard of it before.

cheers,

Yep!

I wouldn't call it a snapped double, at no point has a significant amount of line gone upstream. Apart from which there is no such cast :p An aerialised double certainly exists. I don't see this as being either.

Cheers, Paul
