Yes as far as I'm concerned it is! Otherwise it's just bloody confusing. No doubt some DHD will rename it at some point (they love to do this!).

To setup a backhand anchor position the tip path firsts draws an "e" Bernd. Throw the anchor slightly wide so you can draw it back in.

Just checkin'.

You never know, you might be assessing me one day and I might need to remind you

Snap-Z my arse! It's a Single Spey with a Snap Lift. Invert the lift and you have what? A Snap-e? What happens if we do it twice - on the pickup and the D-loop set-up? Double Snap-e? What if we make a Spap-Z and then a Snap-e? Or a Snap-e and a Snap-Z? A Snap eZ?

Bollocks to that. Its root cast is a Single Spey.

Instructing is about simplification, not reinventing the wheel every time you make a different pickup.

Lumi-line fights at ten paces, after dark, in the Green Zone, would easily sort this out.

:unsure: Huh? Are we on the same thread??

I think we're in agreement

Bernd ... Sorry, I missed your earlier post #10. Thank you for that useful information

Yeah same thread :p

Sorry it annoys me that I and others come up with variations of casts that others then rename as casts in their own right. That's not good instruction; that's just bloody confusing!

I suppose it's our own fault for not drawing the Spey casting family tree.
