Drew,
I expected as much. Somehow we have a tendency to alter our casting stroke slightly when we set up for the delivery cast. We often try just a little bit harder, make the loop just a little tighter, or give it a tad more oomph. You may also notice that you may be one of many who ends up with a straight arm extended in front of the body after the delivery cast, a surefire sign of pushing the rod.
Something to test while you are practicing, just make a couple false casts, and then almost at the very last instance, 'change your mind' and have that false cast extend into a delivery. The chances of this 'regular' cast having a sudden tailing loop is very remote.
Next you can work on ironing out those pesky differences
Cheers,
Hans W
