120' rollcast with a single handed rod??? Now that I would like to see or
even explained. Ok Mike, got you right where I want you. Explain how you
can rollcast 120' with a single handed flyrod? I assume you're into the
backing. Also let me know where all your line is.



Where is this níne feet?

See the diagram this time modified it so even an elementary school kid
could understand it.

No, I am not into the backing, I told you I use a special line for this,
neither did I mention a single handed rod. The line is flying back into a
dynamic D loop, only the anchor is allowed to touch the water again at the
last split second before the cast is executed.

This cast also works with shooting heads, which it was originally designed
for. You can find a description of it here;

So you use a nine foot anchor. You might just have said so. Apart from
which, the length of the anchor is basically immaterial, as long as you have
an anchor, because in the roll cast you only cast the line in the loop, and
the rest is pulled along behind it.

What do you do when you want to cast 70 ft? The only alternatives are
either a dynamic roll, or a longer anchor. You can not hold 61 feet of line
in a static D loop.
