We have our new casting analyzer up and running. We are still in the learning curve on it but we have the basics down.

We will be taking a special seminar at the San Rafael Show on February 17, Friday that is only for dealers who purchased the analyzer.

After that we will be in even better shape to have you come in and have your fly casting analyzed.

This is a very powerful, expensive tool that really works. It is an Apple computer with special software developed by Sage and 3M/Scientific Angler with a palm pilot attached to a fly rod, reel and line with a gyro to measure the movements.

We will be charging $20 to have your cast analyzed with a two page print out that will compare your casting to a Sage pro.

The money you spend on being analyzed can be used toward the purchase of a fly rod in the future.

Jeff Putnam will be using our analyzer in conjunction with his fly casting schools as a tool to help his students understand what they are doing.

We will have more info with pictures up on our web site soon.

Adam,

We are going to go to a special SCA seminar for dealers on Friday, Feb 17, 10am @ San Rafael. We will learn even more there.

It is very exciting. That is a gyro on the end of the rod. After the test you down load it to an Apple computer. Never thought I would own one of those things??? But it does have an HP printer below that.

Jeff scored almost all "Excellent" grades.

It is very accurate and really does an in depth analysis of you casting.

Then you can compare yours to the Sage Pro. (Don Green)

You could make it purr too.
