Had a lesson with Mike from Manchester who is a regular client of mine.
Mike has recently invested in a very fast actioned and powerful rod and was having some difficulties in "taming" it. The key in this case it to let the rod get on with what it's good at - casting a line - don't try and do all the work yourself!
The main problem with fast actioned rods are that they can magnify any slight problems with tempo and/or power application which encourage a concave movement of the rod tip and result in tailing loops.
Just a little bit of regular pracitse and Mike will be casting like a dream with his new "wand"
Mike has siged up for my Salmon trip next month on the river Tyne and we have organised a little double handed casting practise before this trip.
