@plutoplatters Look back at my other reply. A better video to explain what I am saying is Loops 2 by barriofisher. The old 10-2 thing goes out the window when you are going for serious distance. Steve Rajeff is not a good example. His distance is from gorilla slamming his forward cast. Most serious distance casters do like this guy with the rod dropping flat or below in tha back cast.
@FlyFishSteelhead Since kf6pzi didn't explain I guess I will. Watch any of the really great long distance casters. Like Fredrik Hedman. He has a video where he does a 117ft. cast with a 3 wt. Watch the rod. He goes below 9 oclock on the back cast. The line does a dip and then rises. Going past 10 and 2, a 180 cast, along with a late haul and rotation, he increases line speed, giving him distance. You can see this in many videos to the right.
Terrible form. Your completely dropping your rod on the back cast. If you weren't on a lawn that cast would completly fall apart.
