[quote flygoddess]Problem is and I saw this a lot Saturday at the Fly Fishing get together in Heber, that people do indeed break their wrists. When told to do the 10 & 2 stop position, they think a clock and look like windshield wipers.
While the 10 and 2 are reference stopping points to prevent the breaking wrist, they are a "straight line". So if practicing, it is the same motion as painting the bottom of a shelf.
Can you guys cast while holding a book in your casting arm's pit?[/quote]
I learned the stops maybe a month or so after I began learning. As for a book in my pit....never even thought to try it. What does it teach you? But a better question would be what book would work best...a mystery, a romance, a horror? [
] Haha all jokes aside I'll try ot out tonight and let you know how it goes.
