Until I saw this I was guilty of hauling out of plane to try and get as long a haul as possible. You have given me something to work on to improve my technique. cheers.
Thanks Steve, too many employ a haul that is too long, starts too early and adds bend to the rod rather than adding speed to the line. Keep it short, late, fast and as close to the rod plane as possible for best results.
Thank you, very enjoyable videos to watch. In a fishing situation would you do what you did in the video but with your rod tip starting in a more downwards position near the water or would you not need to? I learnt a huge amount from your videos thanks again. J
Thanks for your support J and my apologies for the delay in responding, I have not visited this site in a while. I suggest starting with your rod tip close to the water to minimise movement of the rod tip that is not under line tension. The more rod movement within a given stroke length, that has the tip under line tension, the better.
Thanks for posting nice. Confuses the crap out of me though.ive been learning the last month.. with a locked wrist. This is different again. All to confusing.
Thanks James, wrist movement is an essential to efficient casting. Casting is no different to any other throwing sport, all of which use wrist turnover movement as the final segment of the action. Using a casting technique that does not use the wrist greatly limits your effectiveness in all conditions.
Thanks for uploading these videos, it's nice to learn new things such renowned colleagues. Greetings from Argentina. NicoCafaro.
Hi Nicolas, Tim has a good suite of videos on his channel. It is great that he shares them with us.
I have no doubt that teaching is a skill in itself, you either have it you don't, John definitely has it.
Thanks Joss, appreciate your feedback. It was my first video and would like to do some more.

Very nice technique and explanation of why haul until you snap your wrist.
my pleasure..we have some great casting instructors
