Jim....

Makes sense.  Let's get some more opinions on this.

Hi Gordy,

  Bruce Richards showed me a little extra flick with the line hand wrist just at the conclusion of the haul.  I would think that constitutes a sudden stop.  It should add just a hair more bend or load to the rod which leads to question number 2 and should occur at the same time.  If it occurs late it will counter the forward movement of the rod tip and decrease the energy output. Should it occur a mini second or so before the rod hand stops one should get an even better load but if too soon could cause problems.  If one has those split second reflexes the line hand stop would ideally be just before the rod hand stop.

Group:

A couple of questions on hauling:

1.)  Do you think there is merit in making a sudden crisp STOP with the line hand at the conclusion of your haul when trying for maximum distance ?

2.)  Should you make that line hand stop at the exact time you make the stop with the rod hand ?
