Depending you may have to change your whole casting style to cast a parabolic.
Some may get it almost straight away, but with others it takes time.
And some others never do get it

Its not difficult to cast a parabolic short distances.
But for long casts thinks change dramatically you have to increase your casting stroke... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (bbamboo) http://clarksclassicflyrodforum.yuku.com/sreply/144913 Thu, 02 Jul 2009 14:12:17 GMT http://clarksclassicflyrodforum.yuku.com/reply/144727/t/how-to-cast-a-parabolic.html#reply-144727 feeds@yuku.com (bulldog1935) http://clarksclassicflyrodforum.yuku.com/sreply/144727 Wed, 01 Jul 2009 10:45:27 GMT http://clarksclassicflyrodforum.yuku.com/reply/144632/t/how-to-cast-a-parabolic.html#reply-144632 feeds@yuku.com (Doublegun) http://clarksclassicflyrodforum.yuku.com/sreply/144632 Tue, 30 Jun 2009 15:56:25 GMT http://clarksclassicflyrodforum.yuku.com/reply/144613/t/how-to-cast-a-parabolic.html#reply-144613 (fiberglass not bamboo...)
for the first time a few weeks ago.

That "soft butt" of the parabolic taper was immediately recognizable.
My first reaction was like: "oh Man. This thing's a frickin' noodle!"
It took a minute fro me to understand what the proper stroke was,

Work = force x distance. If you apply the same amount of force over a longer distance you do more work. Period.

That's why I agree about getting a good drift at the end of the back cast. It increases the distance the rod tip can travel. It also allows for a more even acceleration of the rod hand.

The nice thing about para and regressive actions is... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Battenkiller) http://clarksclassicflyrodforum.yuku.com/sreply/144607 Tue, 30 Jun 2009 12:55:41 GMT http://clarksclassicflyrodforum.yuku.com/reply/144604/t/how-to-cast-a-parabolic.html#reply-144604 It's not complicated at all. Use short smooth arm movements and haul.

I have a custom-rolled Japanese parabolic glass saltwater rod that is a rocket ship for shooting line.

On a longer casts, I add a bit of drift and shoot some line after the stop on the backcast to load the butt even more.
This is good advice for long casts with any rod action IMHO.

Is there any difference in the casting/timing that I should be aware of?
