For those who dont know its history this cast was developed by an Austrian, Hans Gebetsroither on the River Traun. It was made prominent by a Belgian fly caster who took part in intenational casting tournaments. It is an oval cast where the back cast goes under the rod and the forward cast goes over the top. In German this cast is described as: "Unten durch und oben drueber" It is a fishing cast only because the line is always moving on a slightly rounded, elliptical track and thus encounters more air resistance, which slows line speed. No modern distance caster would dream of using this cast in a casting tournament. Rainbow |
