I'm still learning to make a Fer-de-lance @ perfect cast as described by Erne St. Claire in his book, The Modern Science of Spin-fishing.

"My 'Fer-de-lance" has but one stroke and its full movement is directed at the target, making it fully positive. The cast is cocked and triggered by this one continuous, but extremely short movement. I devised this cast for pinpoint accuracy and it is indeed the world's most accurate cast. Even in a brisk cross wind it is effectively accurate, because of its speed and flat trajectory." - Erne St. Claire

My setup in this video:
Rod: Matagi 2-4lb custom
Reel: Shimano AXUL-SA 500 (bail less)
Line: Berkley Fireline Fused 3lb
Lure: Softplastic + Handmade Jighead 3.5g

I need to fix my elbow from going out during the cast as seen in the video. The elbow should always be kept near the side of the body during the cast.
