I have often used a variation of the Voo Doo Cast when I end up with too much line all around me all of a sudden, like from a missed set when a fish goes for my fly. It is just a quick way to keep the rod loaded while I get the line back up out of the water to complete a proper cast. Would I use it all the time? Nope. But it does come in handy for me when I do need it.
