Release on the Shoot

From Walter Simberski :

 

 

Gordy - forgot one point I was going to make about the timing of the shoot:

 

Rajeff uses overhang to control the point at which his line will fully straighten relative to the distance of the cast and he releases the line for the shoot as close

to the RSP as possible or very very slightly after. In terms of distance cast vs power caster puts in to the cast this should be the most efficient. If he wanted to change

his presentation he could change the overhang and still release the line at RSP. Another caster could consistently use the same amount of overhang but use

the timing of line release to change the presentation. This will result in less distance vs power caster puts in to the cast than Rajeff's method. As an example, releasing

the line too soon can totally destroy the cast but releasing line just before RSP can enhance an underpowered curve cast.

 

Both of these methods require a very good sense of timing to control. Most casters will stick to releasing the line at RSP, or very, very shortly thereafter, but vary the

amount of power they put into the cast, along with launch angle and ita mends, to modify their presentation.
