Not to brag,,,I can cast a whole line and some backing to boot when and if I want/need to. Double hauls are fun!
That's All I have to say.

"That's All I have to say."...Chris , I doubt that :P
"Not to brag,,,I can cast a whole line and some backing to boot"...IMHO you are....but since you can.. that demands some respect on this forum 8)
Ducks, you know me too well.
It's not all I have to say, But it is all I think I should say.
Thanks 8) :DQuote:

Chris,
I am genuinely impressed. Out of 100 anglers, how many do you think can say that?

100 could say it.Quote:

Nice touch there. :lol: :lol:
This should be a valid question...based on the Title of this thread.....
How many of you when you throw out these distances...actually measure the distance????
Now throwing a whole line doesn't require measurement..[but some lines are longer than others but who cares at that point :lol: ]...Chris I believe you...when one is into backing ...they are..
I mark my lines @ 30 and 40 ft for several reasons and when practicing... measure distances...[some folks talk about aerializing lines....]
If you want to be honest with yourself and fellow fisherman ....actual measurement should be a part of the deal 8)
How big was that fish you just lost :(
Just some thoughts I have as I read some posts...who knows without disclosure...
great post...
personally, I wish I could cast 100+ feet for those rare times I fish salt but I can't...I'm usually good for about 70' when the planets align and there isn't any wind and I don't have to worry about trees behind me...in fact, sometimes, I wish my accuracy was better (yesterday I was just "off" on everything). But then again most of the places I fish rarely require a cast much longer than 40', with the exception of one backeddy, where a 50-60' cast would be nice but there's also a high back behind with bushes on it...
I always seem to have problems with the timing of the haul...anyone got any tips? I don't really have the time to get out a practice a ton but do manage to get a little practice in now and then since we live pretty near a park.

So, for the double haul I broke it down to single hauls. I worked a whole week on just doing a single haul on the back cast. Just kept doing it until I didn't have to think about it anymore and the timing and muscle memory were set in my brain.
Then I worked a week on just a singlr haul for the forward cast. Same thing until I didn't have to think about it.
It was then easy to just put the two together and let muscle memory do it's thing.
