"THE DOUBLE HAUL" is from "Joan Wulff's Dynamics of Fly Casting" (Miracle Productions, DVD, 90 minutes), in which a recognized master of fly casting instruction demonstrates the elements of great casting: vital hand and arm movements and practice routines for learning almost all kinds of casts.

Excerpt: "That's the double haul. It makes casting long line easier, so that you can fish all day and not tire. What happens is that by using that second hand you are adding speed to your line. The rod is loaded more deeply, and that transfers to greater energy in your line. And you need high line speed for longer casts, or for casting into wind. Let me show you the difference between using the haul, and not using the haul."

Buy "Joan Wulff's Dynamics of Fly Casting" ($24.95) from The Book Mailer.
