[GH] One of the reasons for failure for Task 12 is : (___) Haul timing incorrect.
At this point, I'd like to air some of your opinions on that issue. I'll start by asking these questions. I often ask some of them on an oral exam :
1. When in relation to the casting stroke and casting arc should the haul begin ?
2. At what point, when false casting, should the line hand stop ?
3. At what point, when executing the delivery cast should he haul hand release line ?
Another reason for failure: (___) Haul length and speed significantly different between front and back .
That brought me to these questions :
4. Can you come up with casting circumstances when it would be advisable to have a significant difference in haul length and speed between forward and back casts ?
5. Is there a fishing circumstance which would be best handled that way ?
6. Do you teach that the haul length and speed be approximately the same for forward and back casts ?
7. When teaching hauls, do you bring up that issue with your students ?
When hosting a Masters exam, I usually ask the candidate to show me how he/she would teach hauling as part of Task 12. I'll sometimes pose as a "difficult student" who feeds slack into an ill timed haul.
Question:
BRIEFLY let us know how you would do this if this were an "ex;plain and demonstrate" task.

[GH] From Shaun Ash :
I was recently lucky enough to attend a MCCI workshop held by Brian
henderson and Tony loader.
The Week long workshop with some fishing was to dissect the first five
tasks. Time well spent and really all we could cover in that time, they
gave us a better understanding of the knowledge and skill required for
the tasks. They sent us away with a solid foundation; a week well spent.
Every one finished I believe better casters add that to this string on
each of the tasks,and I have improved my
Casting knowledge and skill.

[GH] Shaun,
First let me give YOU the credit for having the foresight and initiative to attend and participate.
One of the most valuable ways to help prepare for an exam. Much more importantly, to add this to your journey to be come the best instructor you can be.
You had great instructors. Hats off to them and to the other devoted instructors around the World who host these hands-on courses! Having done it in the past, I know how much time and energy goes into them.
