Excellent, concise and practical explanation of leaders, pros and cons of swivels. I’m now a follower here.

It still goes both ways for me when I turn the lever do you know how to fix???

Great introductory video! - Thank you. Happy New Year!

Also remember when practicing this method that lures also make great earrings that won't fall out easily.

Today Ocala Florida

I think it is also good to avoid cuff rotator issues

Can’t believe I’m 44 and just learned this. Thanks! Been wearing myself out lately with bad back trying to cast light tackle.

Thank you I’ve lost like 10 hooks. Thank you for this great vid. No body ever showed me this

Wrong....Its all about loading the rod...Thats what the rods for...least effort...Let the rod do the work... throw the line higher on the back swing....

i love you i was gettin so mad 💔

Chris - your vids have saved me several times-Thank you sir. I was having an argument with a colleague about casting & acceleration. I was saying its better to "accelerate" the rod tip from zero to 60, than it is to force it quickly to 100mph as fast as possible. In other words, the 60mph smoothly-accelerated cast will be far better than the fast 100mph cast. He contends that harder (faster) it moves, top-speed, the longer/tighter the cast. I contended that the acceleration, not the top speed, was what was key. I him showed your vids to no avail. My idea is still correct right?

Great video. Keeping your casting arm close to the body is the correct casting technique?

Thanks capt. This excellent video got me over the top of learning how to fly cast. I went to school yard and everything clicked from the flick at the end and shovel analogy. I watched so many KZbin videos and was struggling with accelerate and stop, the line was just a pile in front of me. Just need to add haul then hit the river when water flow slows down a bit. Wish I could come down to FL from british Columbia. Maybe when we become 51st state.

Pyke pushup

Thanks a lot. Merry Christmas Capt. Myers. 🎄🎣

I was obvious to making this mistake on my longer casts. Am anxious to working on this tip, Thank you!

saw Nov 4th 2024 around 930 in Tampa... just one but it had this bright orange tail like a fire trail then the whole thing just disappeared then in that same area of the sky it became like a gaseous swirl of orange and blue with 3 large circle masses in it (looked like bright condensed balls of light within this gaseous cloud oblong rectangular area) then it all disappeared/ slow faded (I have video but was driving so it's not focused) then that same area of the sky had a little dot of randomly pulsing light (small and far away like venus or a star or planet) it flickered/pulsed then was completely gone "off" (didn't fade or pulse out of view it literally was just gone / abrupt nothing)

overfilling ultra light lines is an easy way to get a nest under the reel drag have had it multiple times i always leave extra space now on the reel thin lines fly off so easy

These things have saved me more than once . I keep one in every vehicle , boat and side by side

Class.

Indeed old school.

👍 ! !! 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡

Reminds me of really old school bamboo fly rod instructions - where you were told to place a book under your armpit and cast from 10 oclock to 2 o;clock while making sure the book does not fall out.

Top Tip 🙌

👍👍

Found your channel this morning. Going to have to go back and rematch these a few times. I’m always looking for info to improve my casting.

I use my action camera to film myself. It can shoot at 120fps. By having it connected to my phone, I know I am getting everything in view. It works good. Great video.

Another get video Capt.

I think my twists are unintentional slight oval casts.

Excellent demo of line speed. On your long high speed casts I notice you are almost side arm casting, maybe 15 ° angle above the horizontal-around 7’50”. Keep up the great work.

You can’t go wrong with a DOA shad tail bait. It will get eatin’ in no time. The Golden Bream is my favorite in Titusville IRL and ML. You have to have a weedless hook on now in the ML 🦟 bein’ that the grass has grown back significantly. But the redfish and trout have rebounded a lot now there that it grew back.

thank you so much

Keep teaching wise one one,👌👍🙏

Simple. Intuitive. Easy to understand. Great video sir. Can’t wait to practice this weekend!

I just witnessed the same thing 11/07/2024 over Holland Michigan. My video is posted Phoenix lights over Holland MI.

One major cause of line twist is turning the reel handle when the drag prevents the line from being retrieved, this puts multiple twists in the line every time you turn the handle. The best way to fight a fish is to use the rod to lever the fish to you and use the reel as you start the down stroke keeping the line tight.

hi what size reel should I get on a 4.2 meter surf rod with a 100-200 gram weight?

Thank you for showing the Roll Cast pickup. I have to do this with my sink tip line to get it off the water and was not doing it correctly. Great video. Thanks!!

I have lost. All but a baby and ring finger on my right hand. What do you have in your tackle box to tie on a # 16 treble PS I do have a left hand

Alberto knot eventually breaks if casting the knot through the guides. FG is better.

Those are witches

Not saying this is wrong. But some lures have to be worked on a slack line to work properly .

Great tips! I never thought of the repercussions of reeling up the slack without tension on the line. I have to rethink how I take up slack, especially when I'm jigging with a spinning rig. Thank you!

Thanks for that video, excellent tips I will use.

Do you think having a lighter test line also will help in this?

Thanks that was a winner and will help a lot of anglers and me.

Thanks captain

Excellent tips !! Thx !

Tip! Get a reel with a shallow spool.

Thanks for this video. I really needed this one. I have been experiencing this allot lately couldn't figure why. Been trying everything. Now i get what i been doing wrong. Goes to show no matter how old and long you been fishing you run across problems too. Im 56 been fish for 50 years and just started having this problem. Thanks again. Fish on.
