Thank you, that was a very good teaching videeo. I especially found the explantion of where to apply the haul in the casting stroke very helpful to keep in mind. May I ask you what rod and the line wieght you used for this demonstration. My guess is it's a Sage 5 wieght.
Hi Ed, sorry for the delay in getting back to you. It was a few years ago so I think it was probably a Sage Z-Axis. Today is would be a Sage "X". I like a fairly fast rod for double haul because when you need to use that technique, you're usually throwing big flies, dealing with wind, or requiring distance and a faster rod will help keep the line in the air and maintain line speed. The line might have been a RIO Rio Grande WF5, today it might be that same line or a RIO Perception and either line would have been cleaned and conditioned with Russ Peak Line Cleaner which puts a slippery coating on the line and helps it perform well. Thanks for watching.
The video was done a few years ago. I've always used Sage rods and at that time it might have been an XP. Today it would be an Igniter. I like a faster rod to help with line speed and a strong rod to help with keeping the line in the air.
This is probably the best double haul instruction I have found yet. It’s very very well explained and demonstrated. Thank you!
Good video. I am new to FF trying to learn this double haul
Best explication available on RUclips. Thank you!
Thank you.
Thank you Ryan.
Good info been doing it the wrong way the whole time.
Your casting looks so smooth and graceful.
It should be, Mike. It's not about power or muscle. It's about using the rod.
Thank you, Mike.
Great Video very complete
Thanks. Great information.
Excellent tutorial.
Thank you.
Thank You!

@@TheBecksPhotography Thank you for answering my Questions.
What kind of line would you use to learn on
For simply distance I would use a RIO Outbound Short. If presentation is also a criteria I would use a RIO WF Perception Elite. Thanks for asking.
