DVD Reviews of The Essence of Flycasting
DVD Review: There's a better instructional dvd out there...
Summary: 3 Stars
This is mostly entertaining and demonstrative, but not really instructional. Although Mel is obviously an accomplished caster, his ability to teach does not come across on DVD as well as it probably does in person. Too much of this DVD is given over to wand-waving antics with superficial coverage of technique. He does not focus on such things as the importance of the wrist and forearm, arm position and angle, etc. I do not find the exaggerated antics of his alter ego, Joe Schmokopo (or whatever his name is) to be helpful at all, and it wastes valuable video time. Plus my copy skipped or omitted several chapters. I find Joan Wulff's DVD to be much more thorough and serious, with a tone that is much more consonant with the sport. Or, to put it another way, nothing personal, Mel, but I would rather fish with Joan than with you.
