Got to the http://speypages.com/speypages.htm and check out the
seventh video where Henrik Mortensen demonstrates the underhand
cast. This video also describes the basic powerstroke of the
overhead cast with a two-hander. Note how is bottom hand isn't
even gripping the rod -- how effortless the stroke. This stroke
would produce a 100'+ cast with ease.


Looks easy enough ;-)
Kush's snake roll is pretty impressive too!

Well, yestereve I went into the shop and cast about for the owner.
Fine chap is Milton, anyway he's getting in a Loop Black Line 8/9
for me to have a try of. And.... as luck would have it the T&T
rep.
wandered in at about the same time ... he was a little vague on
details but seemed to think there were some double handers laying
about ... somewhere. Fingers crossed on that one coming through.
There doesn't seem to be a lot of DH gear available downunder even
though there is a DH distance event at the casting champs.

That's a good site too thanks Peter,

Steve (scratting around for tackle ...what fun! :-)


The Loop Black Line 8/9 is a fairly lightweight, medium action, spey
outfit and it probably won't be too impressive overhead. The T&T
however . . .

Still, the all time overhead champ for me is my Scottish-made Daiwa
15'6" 11 wt. Very light, easy casting, and unfreakingbelievable
distance.
