Hi Gordy,
Has isolating the haul been discussed? Minimizing
use of the rod hand while practicing/honing hauling skills. After
hauls are efficient, add the rod hand.

Kirk... This has not been
discussed. Frankly, I hadn't thought of that. What most do
when practicing for distance is to become as efficient as possible without
using the haul and then add the haul later.... so that would be isolating
the basic cast ... just the opposite.
One might isolate the haul as you
describe..... Another way which might help is to gain an easy
distance... say no more than 60' to a target. Gain perfection
without the haul, then add the haul. Carrying the same amount of
line, one could then cast in the same manner with the rod hand while
tweaking the haul repeatedly until best results are achieved. This
is just an idea.... I have not actually done that.
This fits with Lefty's word picture of
using the line hand haul as the
accelerator.

Can you send us some tips for practicing
casts in high winds ?
