This cast shows evidence of poor tip tracking. Notice that the backcast is tilted on a forty five degree angle. This is a hallmark of the "Belgian" or elliptical style of casting, and is not necessarily a casting flaw. Also, the open stance allows for comfortable fishing and a nice long stroke. Notice also, however, that the forward cast fails to return to the vertical plane as it should. This is a casting flaw, likely to result in curve casts (in this case to the left), and a loss of distance. |
