especially on Wednesdays

the film is shot for the world championship in fly casting. If you don't get speed on the line, it's not you who cast furthest, that's what it's all about here and therefore you go to the limit of what's possible. But otherwise you're right that it doesn't pay to over power your cast 👍

@singlemom3260 agreed. Noisy whipping sounds mid air means they are muscling the cast and not letting the rod do all the work as you should.." I bet if you had a close shot of there grip, you'll find they are holding onto the rod too tight also. A relaxed grip equals a relaxed casting stroke. Casting strokes need to be slower and smooth to not hear that sound mid air.

Same, consistent accurate casts 70 to 80 ft are usually good enough or I move positions.

no, but they caught your attention

Good enough.

Hello Jim. If you want to see incredibly beautiful and small loops, it's probably not in videos with distance as the only goal. The place with the most nerdy threads about everything within fly casting that I know is probably on sexyloops. www.sexyloops.co.uk/theboard/

@jimknowles5483 what you mean by upper and lower legs without waves in the casting?

thanks for the nice words. My setup is what stays within the rules for Seatrout distance www.icsf-castingsport.com/uploads/Flycasting_Competitionrules.pdf. I used in the film an Echo 3 9.6 ft. #8 rod. the shooting head is from an older Bario wf line which has been cut so that it weighs just under 27 grams and in this case is approx. 16 meters long. Unfortunately, I can't remember the original name of the line. The shooting line is random mono line from China without so much memory, the most important thing for me is that it has a color that is easy to spot. it is approx. 0.45 mm in thickness. between the shooting line and shooting head I have about 4-5 meters of Amnesia 40 lb shooting line to get a better grip and not lose the line so easily. My leader is just a normal tapered mono leader where the last meter is often 0.35 mm so it can withstand some wind knots 😉👍👍

@@Leif8370 Thanks a lot for the info....I would really like to start competing in the near future👍🏻

I took one to the bum today some how 😆

I took one to the Jonty Rhodes 😆😆

Done exactly the same thing ! Barbless hooks would come out far easier ! but back then i got home and Dad was there to whip it out with a pair of pliers ! ..hahaha i thought it was quite trendy having a bloody butcher hanging from my ear !

Once you cast line beyond a certain distance the weight of the line overpowers the weight of the rod. So you need the exaggerated cast to make up for that. 10-2 covers most casting up to 30-60ft.

The clock face numbers aren't static. It completely depends on how much longer you're casting and what loop size you need.

10 and 2 creates a nice tight loop for shorter casts. With longer casts you want to open the loop up, but a big loop requires faster line speed and a lot of power in the rod loading to create that nice loop shape.

I think what you men midt be the double haul, its give the flyline more speed

Yes and yes!

cocky ?? na not at all , you sound like a real 🐓 head

You m8ght say differently I you knew the results.

Nary a tight loop among them. I noticed that the last guy threw the whole line; must be timing or raw power because the loops were f-a-t.

You think you could replicate these casts with their rod?

It is meters. And yes it would.

@@kuestenjungesh That's me out then, although I now have the perfect excuse for my dreadful distance lol

@@Mo-xx9gg Jup. Yesterday i stood in the baltic sea an thought exactly the same😂

It's accuracy casting not a distance casting competition.

@@zeissOholic maybe it is harder than it looks but at those distances that sure is a lot of false casting. Those rings look pretty dang big to me. I am not a great caster but inside 40 ft, can hit a plate. Those have to be that size.

@@rudyruiz9521 I'm sure the video makes the distance look closer than it is. It is also a timed event and 99% of us wouldn't have a chance of getting in the first 50 places.

scientific anglers mastery expert distance #5 120' floating. The rod 9 ft . # of your choice 😎

@@Leif8370 Gonna start training, I may have a skill I didn't even know was a thing! Any info you have on usa side competitions, pls send

Tyler Smith I don't know much about what's happening in the US. Maybe ask Donna O`Sullivan (Fish on! Sports) or Chris Korich (Korich Fly Casting) Good luck 👍👍
