Paul Arden on Collapsed Tailing Loop Presentations

This is an obscure get-out-of-jail presentation cast! As a method of creating a slack line cast with a heavy fly, a controlled tailing loop can provide a useful function. This is not the video I intend for this week 😀 and that is coming tomorrow. 

There are a number of collapsed casts, all achieving a similar layout. One of to intentionally dome the loop. Another is to use trajectories to collide the unrolling line with the water. One could Tuck Cast but with heavy flies you’ll need to swap your usual fishing hat for a helmet. And then there is this, which is arguably the most delicate. 

It’s not an easy one to learn because learning to cast tailing loops is almost as hard as learning to avoid them. 🤠
