Euan comes pretty close to my thinking.... if I'm being charitable it's an exhibition or trick cast built into something more than it is.
If I'm not being charitable it's a casting fault masquerading as something more than it is...
@Steven - yes, I do believe that
was your summation 'in the other place'
What worries me a little is that Michael is a qualified casting 'master instructor' under the guise of the EFCA (European Fly Casting Association)... or at least he
claims to be.... and he is running courses on rod born anchors FFS
So not being familiar with the EFCA
I looked it up and you know what
For the life of me, I can't find his name in their list of current
alumini Perhaps they disliked the concept of the rod born anchor so much, he was turfed out
Who can say
What I will say here is use the rod born anchor at your peril
