Underhand Cast

nice music but a little to much with the same cast but, nice quaility!! great

The instructor showed nice, tight loops, but this is easy when the running line is anchored. Line speed was low, however, and I doubt that a real cast would have gone very far.

It is an underhand cast. The cast's 'father', G.Andersson, called the cast 'underhand' to emphasise the role of the left hand (for RH casters)to differentiate the cast from old-school spey-casting. Spey cast technique was originally for cane rods with a deep, buttish action where the upper hand provided power. The modification came about to adapt casting for modern, faster rods. A shorter, shooting style head was also prefered.

Its clearly an underhand cast. His top hand is acting merely as a pivot point and his bottom hand is accelerating the rod.

In a classical spey cast, the top hand extends out from the body and the bottom hand pulls upward and ends up in line with the extended top arm.

Looks like a ordinary spey cast to me,basically underhand casting specifies that the underhand, the left hand in this case, contributes to about 70% of the effort required to make the cast, the casting is faultless however.

Then what is? The line travels UNDER the hand in the BC, hence an underhand cast!

Its not really a underhand cast

Kinda rips the water..maybe on heavy water it would be okay where all that ripping and splashing wouldn't matter.

Fly fishing? Crikey....
