LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!! Do me a small favor...explain the peach method Del
What Kreiger suggests you envision is to imagine you have a peach on the end of a small stick. And you are trying to flick it off. You would obviously have to stop on a dime to get the peach off the stick. Mark already mentioned the extreme importantance of the....... THE STOP-- The absolute most common mistake I see people make is the stop. Strangely;a lot of people have a better stop on their backcast than on the front. And so the front cast is made with a big forward motion like they were pounding a stake into the ground. What Kreiger says is that if you were trying flick a peach of a stick you would have to stop. Same principle with the cast. The difficulty is that after you stop, you do have to drop the rod tip.(Or else the line will pile up, as in a parachute cast) so the forward cast on the final cast, not on the false casts, is actually a three part cast. 1. Accelerate forward, 2. stop for a micro second as the rod unloads [That is Lefty's famous phrase- Speed up and stop] and 3. the drop (drift) the tip forward. JG
