So I have a new hobby; spey casting.

Basically its fly fishing, but designed for big fish in big water. 13'+ rod, you cast with both hands by flipping the line back, letting the fly + leader + front of fly line 'anchor' in the water, then you use the kinetic force of the loop behind you to rip it out of the water and towards the target.

And its some Jedi shit.

I will post spey casting videos in this thread and will also respond to questions about spey casting.

funny but true, the action between top and bottom hands in iado is very similar to the way the hands work in spey casting. and the way you hold the spey rod is almost identical to how one holds a bokken.

that said, its not entirely likely ill get my face torn off. its by no means improbable, but surely not likely. ive been fly casting since i was like 12 and this is basically just a variation on roll-casting.

seriously tho going to rip my own face off.
