Double haul

Haul on both strokes for real distance into wind.

Double haul — short demo

Three steps

  1. 1

    Haul on the back cast and let your line hand drift back up as the line unrolls.

  2. 2

    Haul again on the forward stroke, timed exactly with the forward stop.

  3. 3

    Release the shooting line right after the second haul and let it fly.

Common mistake

Hauling and casting out of sync, so the two moves cancel out.

Tip

Practise on grass saying 'up-down, up-down' out loud until the rhythm sticks.
