Finish off the triple haul double spey with a final haul.

I use the single, double or triple haul on all continuous motion casts; mostly because I rarely fish anything other than a double taper line or a very long belly line but also because there is something satisfying in casting long lines with limited back casting space. A competent caster can pick up a rod loaded with a double taper 5 and make a turbo continuous motion cast over 90 feet – with only twenty feet of room behind! I think that is something worth learning!
