Thank you for that , the more you do this the smoother you get and varying the distances is good too, so you learn to naturally alter in an instant when you are fishing, all the best , David.
@@davidhaddon2854 I spent years practising PUALDs for instructor exams. It is a key drill. Not the most important but always worth spending a little time on it during a training session, especially over water.
great one, and surprisingly we hear everything you say. ^^ for a beginner, I'm not sure it's easier to start with just the leader. in my view, the easier configuration of all is probably around a rod length of line, so after the lift only a portion of leader is still touching the water, but you still have some mass to have a feel of what you're casting.
I’ll have a play comparing beginners starting with a longer length and then shortening to compare. My way of thinking is they need this skill and the focus is really narrow when it’s just the leader. It’s also a very good way to have them accelerate using the wrist.
@@SexyloopsTV yeah, I agree that casting just the leader is a fantastic exercise to focus on the movement of the rod, to train your "flicking" abilities, and to get rid of rod loading delusions.
@@laukei1 6 or 7 years ago I had a Gourami leader of about 24’ and a 2” foam cicada tied on a 1/0 and I thought how the hell do I cast this? 😆 That’s really when I started playing with wrist flicks and torque twist. Otherwise it’s impossible to cast. However what I learned from it I think has really improved my cast. I see people trying to accelerate the line with the forearm and it’s tiring to watch let alone do 😆
Mr. Arden, you are a great fly caster and teacher. Please find a dock or field to demonstrate the techniques. Somewhat distracting with you moving around. Thanks and keep it up.

Thank you Paul. A lot of tips
More excellent stuff to try. Thanks. Maybe think about a 360 cam and radio mic to make your life a bit easier?
Very nice Paul💪
Very interesting.
Another great video, Paul!

Yes I agree with that 😎 But I still want them to try it!

I’ll do the next one of the bank 😆
Paul, what's your rod grip made of?
It’s cork. Just well used 😇
