The Perfect Cast I

The Perfect Cast I

By Gary A. Borger

What the rod tip does, the line does. From this underlying principle, Gary builds an amazingly thorough understanding of fly casting, and introduces concepts that help you achieve mastery over this essential angling skill. With the easily-understood techniques that he sets forth in this book, you will quickly acquire the essential elements of fly casting by using the time-proven pantomime-practice technique. Your abilities will grow quickly as technique flows seamlessly into technique, and precise casting tactics become integral components of your fly fishing. In this delightfully informative book, he leads you through a thorough understanding of casting development and skill acquisition--from the nine different ways you can grip the rod, to highly detailed and easily understood descriptions of the three methods of fly casting. He details the essential understanding of Acceleration, Loop Formation, and Energy Transfer (A.L.E.), and presents the best practice tools and methods for developing good casting quickly. Illustrated with photos and the line art of Jason Borger, 160 pgs.

Sloppy editing

Like other Borger books in this series it suffers from very sloppy editing. The content is very good but I fear self publishing has done a disservice to the content as it distracts from the overall enjoyment.
