JC, and others,

I am happy to see that the project put together by Noel Perkins and Bruce Richards has continued its development, and is now recognized by Sage as a valuable enough teaching tool to roll it out in numbers, allowing access to it by a vast number of interested anglers.

I was exposed to this project when it was still in its early days, first at the 2001 FFF national conclave in Livingston, through additional correspondence with Bruce and another play with it at the 2003 Denver FTD show.

Here are two pictures of the 2001 event, which has me casting the gyro rod as available then, and an example of the casting stroke graph:



The value as a teaching tool, when put to good use, is just enormous. I am as excited, or more so, now about the Sage initiative as I was when I first encountered this ground breaking project.

I look forward to seeing it, and have another set of graphs plotted, next week in Denver

Cheers,
Hans W
