All in all switchroddin’ has been great fun from the start but while fishing I have to strip a large part of my shootinghead inside the rings to fish a piece of river efficiently. That poses me with an interesting challenge: How do I cast the line out to the horizon without as little effort and as quickly as possible. For this I made up a sort-of Tongario-rollcast mutation to at get the entire head out of the rings but it was far from pretty. And it was noisy to! Not good...
There had to be a better way to get things done and let you me tell you all, there is! A friend told me about this cast and I thought I'd share it with you. The cast has been invented by Juergen Friesenhahn and he calls it the snap-slip-spey.
Watch the inventor cast and give it a try for yourself...

Hi there,
if the reader is interested, how this castingmodule, especially the linehandling functions, have a look at "The Loop" - Magazine Winter 2009 from Fedflyfishers. There you'll find a desrciption en detail.
Best
