Advanced Fly Casting Techniques with Mark Sedotti 

What a phenomenal breakdown! Thanks for sharing!!

cool video & info

I think this is actually a natural way to cast. I am self though, other then a fly casting book i picked up when i was very young, but could barely read English back then, so it was mainly pictures. Somewhere along the way this unloading with the wrist just started happening and it felt right. I think the environment were i practiced at actually forced me to do it unconciously. Since the first time i tried to cast the rod in puerto rico, always had very strong head winds. So i had to make tight loops and get as much line speed as i could or it wasn’t happening. That also helped me on my back cast. I was sure that once i trew that loop behind me, it wasn’t going to fall on the ground, so i could take my time before the forward cast. I find this to be an issue when i teach other people. They can’t see the back loop, so they rush and don’t let it unroll because they fear its going to drop.

Great explanation of his technique...love that he is casting a TFO rod!

Best method...especially for salt anglers.

Ah, he doesn't know what he's doing! Just joking. I had the pleasure of watching him tie the Slammer with Yak hair quite a while ago at the Fly Fishing Show in NJ. Always a pleasure when he shares his knowledge. Thank you for this most excellent vid.

Sure this is OK for single fly but it causes closed loops…..so multiple flies will tangle?

Anybody knows what rod is Mark using in this video?

You guys may want to watch your own videos, especially the slomo sections. When Mark sais to load the rod (translation), it has almost no bend at all. Then when he sais to unload it (rotation) bend increases to it's max. What he sais does not nearly match what the video shows. Rotation bends the rod, not translation. Cheers B
