Casting Tips

[Brian Wise]

About the Drift....

I look at it as free power.

Very nicely put Gavin. The only time I really drift is when throwing distance. I have to say it is a must if you are my size.

It's all in the timing Zach, time it right and you WILL see a difference in your distance..time it wrong and it all falls apart.

My cast is a continuous and the only time it stops is when I end my cast.

I'm sure you don't really mean "continuous." If you cast in circles like the ribbon twirlers this is possible or a 'continuous' belgian cast. The line may 'seem' continuous but even that truely isn't a true statement. I'm sure you know this but all of what the line does comes from the rod hand and when talking about casting most of the time we talk about the rod hand and the rod. The line has to do what the rod tells it to period, so move the rod correctly and the line will follow suit.
