Efficient Spey Casting: Part 3 - Let's take a look at Spey casting Skagit heads and their D-Loops

Over the past ten years or so, the trend in Skagit heads is for them to get shorter and shorter.
Spey casters who were comfortable with the longer heads sometimes had trouble adjusting to the shorter ones. Like most things for some people there's a tipping point where these heads can be too short unless they change how they cast them. When these really short Skagit heads first appeared on the market, everyone was recommending them online and people were buying them. Then they were coming to me for instruction because they couldn't cast them.
Here's an overview of the differences in the D-Loops between longer and shorter Skagit heads along with the impact these differences have on our casting.
The next video will contain clips of casting heads of various lengths that illustrate the things we need to know to cast these lines well.
