Abstract
The disclosure is an improved teaching and practice casting cord line for fly casting, wherein the improved casting cord line is attached to a fully functional fly fishing rod with a fly reel or a fly fishing line. The improved fly teaching and practice casting training cord line is comprised of two different types of cord material, wherein the first cord is #95 paracord which is heavier than the second cord type. The second cord consists of 2 mm macrame cord which is lighter than the first cord type and has a diameter almost 14 times thicker than traditional fly line leader. The cords used in the production of the invention are composed of material not used in fly line construction. This teaching and practice cord for fly casting is not intended for use on water.

A fly casting training line comprising:
- a) a first end and a terminal end;
- b) a heavier weight per unit length cord of a first diameter, wherein the heavier weight per unit length cord forms the first end;
- c) a lighter weight per unit length cord of a second diameter, wherein the lighter weight per unit length cord forms the terminal end;
- d) wherein the heavier weight per unit length cord and lighter weight per unit length cord are connected to form the fly casting training line;
- and
- e) wherein the first diameter is smaller than the second diameter.
A method of forming a fly casting training line, the method comprising:
- a) forming a fly casting training line having a first end and a second end;
- b) wherein the fly casting training line comprises two different line materials, a heavier material of a first diameter disposed at the first end, and a lighter material of a second diameter disposed at the second end;
- c) connecting the heavier line material to the lighter line material to form the fly casting training line;
- d) wherein the first diameter is less than the second diameter.
A method of learning fly casting comprising:
- a) forming a fly casting training line having a first end and a second end;
- b) wherein the fly casting training line comprises two different line materials, a heavier material of a first diameter disposed at the first end connecting to a lighter material of a second diameter disposed at the second end;
- c) wherein the first diameter is less than the second diameter;
- d) fitting the fly casting training line to one of a fly fishing rod reel, a fly fishing line of the fly fishing rod, and a fly fishing line backing of the fly fishing rod;
- and
- e) using the fly fishing rod to cast the fly casting training line.
