JC,
Nice diagnostic of a part of the casting stroke.
The others at the office are giving me some weird looks as I'm miming my back cast trying to figure out if I have the same error http://www.flyanglersonline.com/bb/wink.gif I'm even laughing at myself here.
I see that same movement (outwards on the reel) quite a bit. IMHO, I think I'm not a victim, but I'll have to check some videos tonight.
