From Rene Hesse :

Hello Grody,

 

To the question of the benefit of teaching being left handed;

I find it is easier to teach a series of change of direction casts by 'being the mirror image'

of the student;

 

Set the stage- Standing approx 40 ft away and facing the student

                      Use his river right- on the dangle...wind direction...

                      Expalin and demo

                      They explain as I demo

                      They demo as I explain

                      Then they do both.

 

Getting them to see the actions and pantomime in the same direction as if a mirror seems to help.

BTW- Being left handed,  Lefty has always been my favorite caster growing up....(I always enjoyed when someone

           called me lefty)

           I wonder if many people notice he casts right handed and why.  He told me the story

           at the Shallow Water show in Atl. several years back.

Good advice.

 

Perhaps Lefty will enlighten us with that story  .....................
