little help with my double haul

[black][size 3]I agree with all the good information that has been provided above. [/size][/black]

[size 3]To get a feel for the timing when double hauling, I would suggest that you get your hands on a rod that has a soft action. The softer action will give you a feel of when the rod is "loading". After all, the double haul is only to increase the loading action of the rod.[/size]

[size 3]Most of today's rods are produced with a rather stiff action, and in order to get the loading feel, you have to be false casting most of your line.[/size]

[size 3]I would concentrate more on knowing when your back cast is complete, with the line laid out behind you than learning the double haul.[/size]
[size 3]Most everyone who has problems with their cast (even experienced casters), come into play when they rush their forward cast.[/size]

[size 3]Speaking for myself, if I'm in a hurry to get the fly onto the water, and don't take the time for my backcast to complete I have problems.[/size]
[size 3]It's often easy to forget that the motions involved in fly casting are more artistic than power related.[/size]
