Iako su mi sve knjige na tavanu po nekim kutijama dok im ne resim novi prostor, evo sam se popeo samo zbog tebe Simpsone. U knjizi " Fine and far off" iz 1952 koja govori o Aleksandru Grantu, Jack Scott ( Donald Rudd) razdvaja Switch od Spey-a.http://www.abebooks.co.uk/servlet/BookDetailsPL?bi=7854959203&searchurl=an%3Djock%2Bscott%26sortby%3D3%26tn%3Dfine%2Band%2Bfar%2Boff Na 87 strani mozes procitati o Switchu: ( prenecu kako stoji da se ne zeznem u nekoj pojedinosti sa prevodom) " The switch of the soutron - as used in tournaments - is not much used in practical fishing, since it delivers the line at nearly the same angle to the stream as that from which it was picked up. If you try to cross the line of the pick-up, you foul your line. It consists of drawing the line slowly back towards your body and then driving it away by by main force. During the slow pull-back the fly drags along the surface, it does not jump off the water as in the case of the Spey."
Iz ovog vidimo da se u to vreme switch poistovecivao sa Roll castom. Objasnjavajuci Grantov Switch kaze na istoj strani: "The best simile which occurs to me is that the back-cast threads the line through an imaginary pulley suspended in the air a short distance upstream from the caster, the the forward shot pulls the line through this pulley and extends it. No line rests on, or touches the water at all; there is none of the anchoring we hear about in connection with the Spey. The only thing that touches the water is the fly, and that only gives an instaneous flip to the water as it turns to go out. The Spey cast firmly anchors the fly in the water while the belly of line is swung round and projected forward. Another way of describing Mr Grant's cast would be to call it an upside-down overhead in continuous motion; i.e. without a pause at the end of the back-stroke, and with the line travelling back below the rod top instead of above it."
Na 108. strani je jedna Grantova skica sa prelepim loop-om i stapom zaustavljenim na oko 10:30. Grant je inace bacao 65 jardi i to bez da ispusta kanap. Tj toliku duzinu je imao izvan svojih greenheart stapova

. Cuveni Planet cast.
Ima tu jos dosta. Ono sto zelim reci je da originalni switch nema veze sa danasnjim. Ameri ce za njega uvek upotrebiti naziv Forward Cast. Englezima je miliji Switch....kako kome. Medjutim kada se takav zabacaj izvede Underhandom, sa svim svojim pratecim pokretima, onda nema reci o switchu. Razumi o cemu govorim.
Zato sam hteo da sa alpom izanaliziramo bilo koji video, bilo koju skicu i pokazemo razlike i slicnosti u pojedinim pokretima, ali ne vredi.
