The other is the roll cast. Most casters aren't bringing the line in far
enough before they make the cast. His rule of thumb, if you can't touch
the end of the line (minus the leader and tippet) with your rod tip,
you're not in far enough. Sure enough I tried it and I easily put out a
50' rollcast. No other experienced caster told me this, but now that I see
it, it's as plain as day.


Can you enlarge on that? Did not quite understand what you wrote. How can
you hold a fifty foot D loop?
