Fly Casting - How to use your wrist effectively for tight loops
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 сер 2024
- Learn how to use your wrist when fly fishing and create tight loops. Often times the wrist is used too much and it is easier to have new casters try not to use it at all. In reality, effective casts need some wrist movement to make the cast effective and comfortable. In this video, you will see how and when the wrist is used and its effect on the rod tip and loop shape.

Thank you for explaining the speed up and stop, wrist movement, and to keep the rod tip UP during the casting stroke. The slow motion section of your video should help anglers understand the importance of a tight loop.
This video, especially the slow-motion close-up at the end, is excellent. Extremely helpful!
I have a library of fly-casting books and have looked at so many videos - this is the best video on fly casting I've ever seen. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
I agree nothing has been more specific!!!!
Great video very well illustrated thanks chris
I am working my way through your videos. This is very helpful. The explanation along with the demonstration in the video makes it clear, almost like I was there taking a lesson. I plan on taking this out the the pond tomorrow.
I think you are spot on about us (me) taking my wrist too far back on the backcast. I'll follow your suggestions and see what happens. Thanks!
That is the number 1 casting issue I see in almost everyone I work with.
Easy to follow, very clear instructions, very straight forward. Thanks
Thanks for breaking apart your rod to show the straight line path of the tip. I think I finally can see what the hand is supposed to do to keep the tip straight.
Your channel really deserves more views!
Thanks
Can’t wait to try the wrist flick! Well done video instruction.
The closeup, slow motion analysis will really be helpful to try to copy and pantomime the stroke. Thank you!
Great stuff Chris. You have the most complete instructions on UA-cam. I'm going tomorrow for my first time for redfish in Galveston. Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Wonderful, Chris, I will now try to use my wrist slightly more, as you instructed. Your videos are easy to follow, and are sure to improve my casting. Thanks
Excellent presentation. I greatly appeciate all ofvyour instructional videos, but this one was particularly relevant for me.
Thanks
Very good instruction!…….Thank you 👍🎣
Great video! Cheers 👍
Thanks 👍
cheers mate
Thank you, i think i was getting too caught up in trying to make sure my wrist wasn’t moving at all
How long is the line past the rod tip. Very instructive.
In the video, I am only using about 30ft of fly line plus a leader. Otherwise I have to get too far away from the camera to see both front and back casts. The same technique applies to all my cast lengths.
It looks like in slow motion you have a fly on your tippet? Does it get hung up in the grass? Or do you have something special?
You should always tie somethin on the end for best results. I am using yarn.
Is that a CTS blank?
No it is an old TFO model they made in yellow for instructors.
It is a TFO TiCr. The one on the market was black
