Thank you for visiting The Rats Nest Cast. We try to provide you with the most complete information we can about The Fly Fishing. We update our sources constantly. Please scroll down to learn more.

This cast is also known as bucket cast (Mac Brown) and hump cast (Jason Borger). You throw line under the lower leg of the loop and its weight collapses a segment of line, making it fall in a heap (intentional rat's nest.)

When to use it: place slack line a specific distance from the rod tip and have it fall in a heap in very little space. One of the best slack line casts for fishing the water upstream.

How to Use it>/b> After the stop, an upwards flick of the wrist (tip of the thumb pointing up) and back down puts a vertical curve into the line that travels below the line until it falls.

Problems you may have If it doesn't come out right, it's because either The flick isn't absolutely vertical and you open your wrist to one side (the heap won't fall into a bucket) Or else, the rod tip doesn't end up pointing downwards after the flick of the wrist.
