Customer Reviews

VERY detailed book

I just got this little book yesterday.....as a matter of fact, I just took my fly rod out for a test run yesterday...the first time I've ever used one of these things! The previous reviewer gets close to the point about this one. I never knew there was so much to using one of these things! It really is akin to swinging a golf club. This is a very detailed book, covering everything from how to hold your wrist to what the loop of the line should look like as it whizzes over your head on the backcast. If I don't catch any fish after reading and learning how to do this stuff then I'm going to be really disappointed. Really!

Looking good, even if they're not biting....

Just as with Ben Hogan's famous Five Lessons: The Modern Fundamentals of Golf, understanding the "mechanics" does not always mean you'll shoot lower scores. (I'm a testament to that!)And by reading this book, doesn't mean you'll catch fish. What it does do however, is give you the confidence, and style, in your cast to make fly-fishing both more enjoyable, and fun. Whether it's golf or fishing, style points count and that's what "Master the Cast" did for me. Follow the drills and cast with confidence! If you own a fly rod, you need this book
