Sep 4, 2009 - how do you avoid using your wrist in the cast if your grip is so loose?

Nov 30, 2009 - My God!! Wy can´t you get it, there is nothing wrong about using your wrist. You just have to know how and when to use it....

Dec 8, 2009 - Some times it helps people to put there index finger all along on the grip and point it towards the tip, it has helped a lot of people I know. Kind of like your telling yourself your number 1 while holding the grip..

Feb 21, 2010 - This is dead wrong. You cannot cast 90 feet acting like the gay fly rodder.

Feb 28, 2010 - The thumb is on the top front of cork for almost every experienced caster I knoe. The bottom three fingers and palm of hand are main grip and yes your thumb should point where you are casting .Learn to cast. Get with your local fly shop, join TU, Many will help.

Oct 22, 2010 - You're comparing apples to oranges. They'll both work, it depends on the caster and the water he's fishing. I do almost all of my fishing with thumb on top, but I've done it with the index finger too, on really small waters. BTW I've worked in the fly fishing industry for most of my life, so don't try to play the experience card.

Aug 25, 2011 - @MrBoBoTom: It must suck to be a white man and have to realize that people come in all colors, sizes and shapes and that even women are people too! I'm a woman and I fly fish.
