The latest e-newsletter from BRF pushes a practice rod

" We want to mention here again the Echo Micro Practice rod. This
unbelievable casting tool has been responsible for several beginners,
and even non-fishers, learning how to cast successfully the past few
weeks in the shop. And, after running information on it in this report
last week, most who have made the move and purchased one have
commented on what a fine learning tool it is! It has brought Cam,
Bucky, John, Jackie and I a tremendous amount of casting pleasure, we
are all casting better, and we are pleased to hear it has done the
same for you."

Anyone have opinions they want to share on the value of such practice
tools? I suck, always have, and lord knows need practice .....
but my main idea is in the house practice for my bride

Eagerly awaiting your replies

I've been recommending this for years. A four foot, quarter inch
dowel with six feet (to start) of yarn tied to the tip is an
exceptional teaching tool.

Pretty much what the yarn rod is, but the yarn rod has a better grip. I
have one I bought a lot of years ago. Virginia Woulfe, Lee's wife, was the
instigator and convinced me it would inprove my casting. She was correct,
and showed me how to improve some right there at the Cow Palace or San
Mateo
fishing show.

A bit of a mix-up in the names, I think. Lee Wulff married Joan
Salvato. I've been unable to unearth any indication that Lee (or
Joan) Wulff ever met Virginia Woolf.

You want to borrow mine, I am in Pleasanton.-

Thanks, but I've still got some dowels and yarn.

giles.

Wrong.

O.k., so, you have no idea whatsoever who you were not replying to.
No big deal. But, do you have anything resembling a clue as to who
you WERE replying to?

giles.
who swears ta god that one of these days he's going to switch over to
a newsgroup where at least a plurality, if not an outright majority
(yeah, as if.....) of the participants speak, read, write and
understand something that vaguely resembles english......and THEN
