Hey guys –

Careful.

[Zach Matthews]

Hey Paul-

All humor aside, there’s two things in this story that ring out to me: #1 the victim was wearing blaze orange and #2 the victim is a human being and therefore not above 6′ tall or so.

[Zach Matthews]

Are those some carp flies there, RB?

[Zach Matthews]

Oh, I remembered: the link in the menus takes you straight to the casting lessons subdirectory.

[Zach Matthews]

In all honesty, it’s a good thing he didn’t kill the gy.

[Zach Matthews]

Ha, no problem, Brian.

[Zach Matthews]

Hey Steve –

I would split them up.

[Zach Matthews]

There we go.

[Zach Matthews]

Brian, buddy, I know.

[Zach Matthews]

Sup dog.

[Zach Matthews]

Okieff-

If you want to mail me a video under 10mb I will help you diagnose what’s going on.

[Zach Matthews]

Eric-

Solid advice and thanks for sharing.

[Zach Matthews]

Ha ha, yeah, Okieff, you’re in the right place.

[Zach Matthews]

BD-

You are probably exactly right as to the cause.

[Zach Matthews]

Allright, check this out:

The mechanical principles remain constant even across different rod weights and types, but heavier or more complicated setups can exacerbate existing casting idiosyncracies and cause trouble.

Brian-

Extending the stroke will pull open loops that would otherwise tail.

Hey Ausable –

Without seeing your casting it is hard to diagnose that but I think I can safely say that the wind in your face allows you to apply power that would ordinarily overstress the rod.

[Zach Matthews]

Hey Ausable –

Welcome.

[Zach Matthews]

I have used it with 6x flouro and despite appearances it really doesn’t slip, unless you fail to seat it.

Hey mike-

The board software, YABB, is free, and the integrated look is just done with Macromedia’s standard web creation software.
