Isn't necessary, Lee, a bloody L with the bead chain will behave like the piled anchor; however we know that on water a bloody L, unless a piled anchor, kills the cast very easily.
The D loop meets lots of resistance when the anchor is straight cause it has to pull against the whole length of the anchor; when the apex of the D loop gets closer to the anchor it just lifts it easily "link by link", so to speak.
However, with a bloody L the apex of the D loop gets two problems:
A) It isn't lifting the anchor link by link but pulling it laterally.
B) As sushiyummy has pointed out, the anchor now isn't lifted cleanly from the water, quite to the contrary it pushes against it.
The bead chain in form of a bloody L behaves like the piled anchor because there isn't water to push.

Aitor is not like us, he is Spanish, and therefore completely mad.

Lee, yes, a lip fly or any fly that pushes a lot of water. I was throwing a Gulley fish fly on Scandi heads and found I was losing the fly often due the tremendous tension in the leader from Single spey. This V loop anchor saves the fly, but I haven't seen any instructional videos to perfect the technique. I saw it briefly in a demo by a Guideline pro.
Paul, I am sure it was a blink of the eye no one can be absolutely sure the fly is perfectly dry on release. But hey, the fly is alot drier than single spey.
Edit: The caster was Toni Karuvaara.

Buenos tardes amigo!
Remembering the way Göran Andersson taught me how to use only the fly as the anchor when casting heavy flies for Atlantic Salmon this would not work at all when piling the leader instead of keeping it straight, flat and under steady tension.
Your excellent video explains pretty well why that is.
Great vid!
Besides that I can think of a few situations where a piled anchor will result in a good cast. However I personally think the piled anchor is much harder to controll in it's size (resistance). And I think it's mostyl exactly that what differs between a good and a bad cast!?
