Tip
Tip: Scale your levers to the distance: wrist for short, arm, shoulder, then hips for long
How to do it: Use wrist only for short casts, add arm and shoulder as distance grows, and add hips and body for the longest casts
Mistake it fixes: Ignoring leverage
Why it works: The rod is a lever system. Matching lever size to distance keeps short casts delicate and long casts powerful without overexertion.
When it matters most: All fly casting
