Double Hand Casting Masterclass | Tellis Katsogiannos & Jan Erik Granbo | Guideline&John Norris Days

During the John Norris/Guideline demo days 20-21 April 2024 we took the opportunity to film all the Master Classes and Clinics performed by the Guideline staff members and the Guideline UK Ambassador team. First in line is this Double hand casting clinic with Tellis Katsogiannos and Jan Erik Granbo where they talk about the modern way of casting a double hand fly rod. They give you valuable tips and tricks how to develop your casting stroke, anchoring point and how to effectively load the rod for effortless casting and added distance.
Many thanks to the John Norris Shop for setting up this demo days, check their website out at - www.johnnorris...

Nice video, discussion and deep dive into spey casting, differences and similarities between the Guideline guys and some good questions from audience, I think everyone can bring something to spey casting as everyone looks at things differently, whether expert or novice.

[@Guidelineflyfish]

Well said, spey casting is a wonderful art with many different styles and personal ways. //Henrik GL

[@Leavenotraceexpeditions]

This presentation is exceptional. It is named as Double Hand Casting Masterclass. Not just scandi casting masterclass. My question is about skagit setups. Does Tellis apply the same concept of 80:20 when fishing skagit setups? One of the most valuable tips to me is at the end of the video. I use non dominant hand as bottom hand. Now, I am going to switch to see how that works. My dominant hand is right and I am going to use it to pull ...

[@Guidelineflyfish]

Hi, Tellis will write an answer in this thread shortly. //Henrik GL

[@TellisKatsogiannos]

In general I use the same style or muscle movements in my casting, regardless of the line that I am using. :) If I have a short Skagit, mid Scandi or traditional Spey line, I use the same style and power application. There is of course differences and adjustments, and that has mainly to do with the length of the line. Meaning, I adjust my casting stroke/length of movement as well as the hight of my lift, depending on which line I am using. Skagit and Scandi is about the same, short line and short stroke, with not that high of a lift. With longer heads/speylines, I increase the length and hight of my movement, due to the fact that the line is that much longer and needs more energy to be moved. Same thing goes for single hand casting and overhead as well. Short line is normally best thrown with a short stroke, and a longer line with a longer stroke.

Very good! 💥💥💥

Thanks for watching Arild! //Henrik GL

[@jaaron2834]

Hey there,… your explanations are quite clear and concise as with most casting,… lower hand action acting is key,… I have figured it out but for some individuals,.. it’s the hardest lesson to learn …. Great video 👍😎👌

[@Guidelineflyfish]

Glad it was helpful! //Henrik GL

What was the shooting strap that Jan Erik Granbo was using? Is it a basketball shooting strap or something he came up with?

[@Guidelineflyfish]

Hi! No, it is a strap that is made for shooters to improve their stance and swing. //Henrik GL

[@TheEliteHeat]

@@Guidelineflyfish Oh really?! What am I googling to find one of these?

[@scottdavidson359]

The Guideline guys were brilliant on the day extremely friendly and generous with their knowledge. It's great to have this video as a reference. Fantastic venue looking forward to next year. Cheers 👍

[@Guidelineflyfish]

Glad you enjoyed it! //Henrik GL

[@robertwest7197]

Very good instructions, thank you. I would really like to see how you made that strap?

[@Guidelineflyfish]

Hi! That is a strap that is made for shooters to help out with the swing and positioning of the arms. //Henrik GL

[@rangerwhite5165]

Nice guys. A single handed rod one would be nice too.

[@Guidelineflyfish]

Keep your eyes on our channel, we will add another video with Chris Rownes and Rune Stokkebekk casting and fishing a single hand trout rod! //Henrik GL

[@Athanasiuscontramundum919]

Nice video! What is the length of the first demo rod?

[@Guidelineflyfish]

Hi, that is an NT11 12,9 #8/9 //Henrik GL

[@Athanasiuscontramundum919]

@@Guidelineflyfish Thank you very much.

[@hakannorlings2439]

I don't hear anyone talk about loading the rod! If you cast with the upper arm, you don't load the rod and get lower speed. If you use the Scandi wat as Granbo showed, you load the rod and get a high speed, and the cast goes longer. If you use the upper arm, you point the line down to the water, and your cast moves down to the water. Why don't you talk about that, to load the rod, etc??? If you don't load the rod, you don't need it, then you can use whatever you find in the forest as a rod!

[@MrKveite1]

It's pretty clear that if you use the lower arm more you load the rod more just from looking at the cast.

[@Guidelineflyfish]

Hi! Thanks for the reply, and we agree. //Henrik GL

Hey i recently bought a double hand spey combo the guideline laxo #9/10 13,7f and just wondering if i could do anything to make the sinking tip and running line a smoother transition between the guides because it keeps getting stuck between them ?

[@northguilford]

Not only is this excellent instruction, but the video and audio quality is excellent. So many of the instructional fishing videos have poor visual and audio quality that makes the instruction difficult to follow.

[@Guidelineflyfish]
