    Default Not the snap

    Thats the feel your looking for with the abrupt stop , without the snap
    To clarify my statement a little:

    While this is the feel , certainly do not mistake the actual action of a bull whip
    as many times a leader will snap during the cast this is not what you want, its the
    feel of the stop of the whip and not the snap at the end, that I was alluding too.
    If the whip comparison makes no sense to you please ignore it for now.

    Instead think flicking paint off a paint brush, thats the abrupt stop component
    part of the cast that you want to feel and learn.
    Visualizing this and putting it to memory will go a long way
    to forming good casting habits.

    Hope this makes sense , could use a little help here folks...
