In this lesson, Peter explains why the double haul is useful for adding distance to the cast and taking pressure off your casting arm and wrist. Then he demonstrates exactly what you need to do for a successful double haul, from the right timing to the proper length of your haul. You'll learn why this is not just a cast for saltwater anglers, too. Once you've got the basics down, it's time to put Pete's lessons to work by practicing on your own lawn.

0:20.0 | One of the first things we have to do is understand what the double hall is, what it does for us and why we would want to use it. |
0:27.0 | A lot of people come up to me and say, Peter, the double hall, isn't that just a saltwater cast? |
0:31.0 | Do I really need that in trout fishing? My answer is usually absolutely. It's a very very useful cast. It's going to help in a lot of situations. It's going to tighten up your loop, help deal with windy conditions, increase your line speed, and help you with accuracy. |

1:07.7 | or drive with a thumb, a pop to a stop. |
1:10.5 | There's a lot of different names. |

1:24.2 | Notice when that flick happened right there at the end and then again right there at the |
1:29.7 | end. I'm going to take my wrist totally out of the picture and just make a tug on the line and watch what happens. |
1:35.7 | I come back and tug on the line. |
1:38.1 | There goes the line. |
1:39.8 | Come forward, tug on the line. |
