Hi Gordy,
I thought of another quick teaching concept to be used with teaching
curve casts and hooks. The rod perpendicular and rod pointing assist with
teaching both styles of casts.
The other concept is line planes skewed from the normal 180*
principal.
These casts still use lots of wrist rotations (torque twist) such
as supination, pronation, abduction, and adduction. Some really neat
things can occur mixing them up a bit for varying layouts.
The other essential ingredient for all of this to come together is
playing around with the loop planes,timing, and force. I know this may
sound kind of general but it opens up the recipes for multiple curves and
hooks. It can begin to seem endless with all of these options!
If we as instructors spell out the what if's and leave a little
something to creative play casting then who knows where it may
take the student. They may be content with one or two ways of making
a specific layout or better yet, we may be going to school on what
they have learned next time we meet.
Have enjoyed the threads Gordy.
Mac

Mac...
Yes. I've also noted that once you
have taught these maneuvers and the casters go out and use them, a year or
more later, I note that they almost all have made there own variations on
the central themes as a result of actual use on the water while
fishing.
Seems that no two advanced casters make
curves and hooks with exactly the same movements .... though they all use
the same basic principles. As you point out, we then can learn from
them !
