Trajectory Changes

Exercise 3 – False casting tight loops with differing trajectories

Vary the trajectories at differing line lengths while maintaining a tight smooth loop.

Continue as in exercise 1. Do some casts with a horizontal rod tip travel.

Then repeat with a lower forward stop and a higher back stop. This sort of angle that results in high back casts is most commonly used when trout fishing.

Finally do some casts with high front and low back casts. This high front trajectory is only ever used when casting to fish up a waterfall!

I want you to be able to do it anyway. One day you will thank me.
