Bob....
In looking over your question again, it makes me feel that something else should be cleared up when talking about parallel loop arms.
Remember, that this mainly applies to one type of casting........straight line overhead casting. It does NOT apply to curve casts or elliptical casts such as Belgian casts and European continuous tension casts, etc.
Here on Big Pine Key, we're in the midst of a tropical storm......just had a gust of 74 MPH on my wind meter ! I'm all closed up with hurricane shutters tight, etc. Amazing that the electricty is still on .I won't get any fishing or casting done, today !!!

Hi Gordy,I wonder if you would be so kind, when the opportunity presents itself, to go over one of the "Explain and demonstrate steps in the Master's Exam. Namely why you should cast parallel loops and why it is not good to do otherwise. I have an answer for why you shouldn't cast un-parallel loops - because it is inefficient and may interfere with accuracy. However, if I were to be asked to elaborate, what are some other negative points to casting out of parallel. Also what are the causes of loops that are not parallel. I know of course that some alternate casts require casting without parallel loops, but I am referring to for example; twisting the wrist, changing the path of the rod, etc.. I have everything we discussed in the past year or so copied and have gone over it all several times, I find nothing on this particular subject and it is an integral part of the exam.Thank you very much,Bob RumpfSent: Wednesday, August 24, 2005 11:13 AMSubject: Re: pulling/pushingHi, Ken....
Some of the others failed to get this list of questions, too........so here goes:
1.) You have just made a forward cast to the STOP. When does the line/loop begin to fall?
2.) What is the primary duty of the ROD HAND ?
3.) Name 5 duties performed by the LINE HAND.
4.) Your student asks you when the loop actually begins to for in relation to his casting stroke. What do you tell him ?
5.) What is the main function of the guides on a fly rod ?
a.) When casting ?
b.) When fighting a fish ?
(#5 can be a brain twister and a half. Dennis Grant and I discussed this at the conclave....but I didn't gain a clear idea about it until I omitted stringing up through the guides and ran the line through the tip-top alone.)
6.) What is a "DUAL MODE" fly reel ?
7.) What is, "BUNGEE BUTT"?
8.) What is meant by, "BLOW LINE FISHING" ?
9.) What is "FETCH" ?
10) Give one good use for a double nail knot.
Take the plunge and give it a stab.....it's fun. Go ahead and use your books for any answer.......it's all there.

Good morning, Gordy
I made it back from Livingston finally.
Umm, my e-mail toilet stopped up at about 600 messages on 8/12, and I didn't get home till 8/20. If you posed a list of questions to the group, would you please resend it to me.
Thanks,
Ken Cole
