Casting Masterclass with George Daniel - Loop Control

George Daniel demonstrates how to practice fly-cast loop control off the water using a hula hoop.

George Daniel demonstrates how to practice fly-cast loop control off the water using a hula hoop where you can focus on the technique rather than on catching fish. He uses micro hauls to create line speed and tighter loops, which can help cast into wind or cast around tight spots in small streams. George also shows us how to open up our loops when casting large or heavy flies.
