you could also get the cheap equivalent which are mini rubber bands
girls use for tying back hair. They are all colours and you get a couple
hundred for a dollar. I will send you a couple packs if you want to give
them a go.

I watched Dave Engerbretson cast an entire fly line without a rod at
NOARK clave one year.
He did cheat, however - he taped a lollipop stick with a single
guide to his index finger.
Neville,
If you really like the 1/8 masking tape, check the autobody supply
sources.
Or a local repair/custom paint shop.
My father worked in autobody repair most of his life. He had masking tape
in a lot of sizes.

You can get surgical tube from a dive shop. Cut off O: rings from that. I
have a friend that gets outdated rings from his dentist and gives him some
flies in return.

I've personally seen Lefty Kreh cast a fly line with just the tip of a fly rod
and just his hands. The first time I saw him cast with just his hands was in a
classroom with an 8ft ceiling. He cast about 30ft of line with a tight closed
loop about 6 inches below the ceiling and placed his fly

I've watched Lefty cast with the tip only, too. Threw it out the back end
of the casting pond at the show.
The secret is to create any kind of arc, and then line management for power.
Got to be able to time the double-haul with a short casting arc, then it
will work.
If you think about it,
I pay attention.
Sometimes they are real good answers.

Hi All;
Hi Neville;
I think the dental/braces rubber bands are about the same size, you have to
double them up to use them.
The drafting tape I use is just like the one posted, yes it's not as sticky as
regular masking tape but, I prefer it that way. It leaves much less residue
upon removal then

Get yourself a multi piece travel rod for that, I think it's more for showing

I would imagine that the reel would be very useful for your miniature

Actually these look better. The ones I refer to are larger in
diameter, and made of something like a thin siliskin. You would have to
double them however. These look more orthodontic than mine.
