Thank you Klaus, you just make it look so easy and explain it in a good way for us to learn it.

A fantastic caster and a real nice guy. He makes this style of casting look so easy. A brilliant casting instruction video

Thank you Klaus.

Useful advice, especially for long casting. I usually raise my top hand higher (probably my mistake) and add a little more right hand at the end of the cast. This way I get a better loop. Thanks for the video!

Thanks for watching and your comments!!

Klaus always makes the underhand look simple, elegant and nearly effortless. Which it is... if you are Klaus Frimor. Just kidding. It really is nearly as easy as it looks with some time invested in dedicated practice and quality equipment. Thanks again Klaus. 👍

Probably the best explanation of the Underhand casting technique I found on internet. Absolutely great 👍 What is the difference between rods designed for short vs long casting stroke, please?🙏

[@DanielSwe93]

Short casting stroke = short rod stroke. The rod bends mostly in the top third and in the bottom third. Loading a certain amount of energy in the bottom part of the rod creates less rod bend compared to loading it in the top. Look how little Klaus rod bends, but you can see it bending down to the cork handle activating the most powerfull part of the rod. Longer casting stroke = longer rod stroke. More full action where 3/4 of the rod works and the more you load the rod the deeper the action goes. Of course, in reality rod design is way more complicated.

@@DanielSwe93 Thank you! I was confused about differences in actions for Underhand and more clasic Spey styles. Your explanation makes it more clear for me now. 👍

Very good instruction and beautiful casting klaus! I have a question please could you try to convince the loop team to bring back the custom heads loop had once. The 18m and 15 m. That would be awesome.

[@TwinPeakesFlyFishing]

We would love to get them back as well!

Thank you Klaus for this excellent instructional video. What LOOP reel and model have you matched with the 7X 8wt you are using?
