Nice Tim. I think that controlling the trajectory of your forward cast is just not considered by many casters. A forward cast that's too high will fall back on itself into a pile of slack, and of course a forward cast that's aimed too low (even with a tight loop) just spears into the water. Learning to "tilt the clock" plays a big part in this and it all begins with where our rod tip is at the end of DLoop formation, ie at the moment we commence the forward stroke. I play around a lot with this when practising the basic roll cast and its taught me a lot.
Excellent point Peter. I feel that a lot during practice but had not put words to it. Thanks for doing that. That gives me another thing to share. Appreciate that.
What if the line follows the rod tip but travels to the momentum…?maybe you should share that approach also Tim. I see the rod tip in the actual clip, is not stopping after your hands fully stop, but it’s a recoiled shocking effect that runs along the line to only disrupt the caster intentions over the end of the line. Is a lot here, when you said “ let the rod do the work “ but stopping high is not going to work if we don’t understand why your hands stop, but rod tip keeps going back and forth ? Thank you for sharing!!
"Low fast ball" has been the biggest and most stubborn problem in my casting. That metaphor may just help me fix it and get closer to the ascending loop formation.
Seems like a sweet rod. Jedi could you do test one handed rods good for one handed spey...I think that many avoid one handed spey because they use the wrong tools. One handed spey will revive, its a lot of fun...

Fantastic videos. True legend. What length of overhang of running line do you recommend when Skagit casting?
Thanks. Sometimes zero overhang in tight spots, up to 3 or 4 feet when I have room but normally a foot or two is pretty good for overhang
Thank you for the reminders brother🫡
You are so welcome

You can do it!

And revival of the DT lines too...
What line system you working with in the video? I gotta know.
Charlie used 510 Scout and sink tip. I used 420 Airflo compact Scandi
You’re not nearly as bad as Kamala😂
