9am-5pm

 

with special guest,

 Steve Rajeff

 

 

This event is the second in a series of continuing education days for certified casting instructors. The setting is casual and informal, with plenty of opportunity for questions, comments and sharing of teaching methods.

Last year's program, "Eyes, Lies, and Videotape", considered the components of casting diagnostics. Our special guest was Bruce Richards of Scientific Anglers - it was a terrific event, sold out in advance, with about 24 CI's in attendance.

This year's program addresses the next step. Unlike medicine for which the real skill is diagnostic,  for casting the real skill is finding a remedy that will work for the particular  caster. If we know what the problem is, how do we get the caster to fix it? Merely pointing out the problem almost never works. To learn what to do, we will look at real cases, not convenient ones that conform to ideal models of casting mechanics.  

Our special guest this year will be Steve Rajeff, arguably the caster who has best addressed what works with his 34 consecutive wins of the annual American Casting Association (ACA) championship, plus 13 victories at the bi-annual World Casting Championship.

The cost of participation is only $35 with advance registration, $50 at the door. Comparable programs offered recently in other areas have charged many times this amount. Register now - class size is limited and this will fill up.
