flipping　 English

　 Flipping in fly fishing means to shake out a fly line from the rod tip by operating the rod.　It is also called a flip out, or flipping out.　It is done as follows: Leave the position of the grip on the rod unchanged, and move the rod tip very quickly as if to throw the fly line accompanied by a loosened line hand.　About 1-2 m of fly line can be shaken out in one stroke.　If done several times in succession, a fly line can be flipped out rapidly without carrying out a false cast.

　 When fishing downstream, it is recommended to use this flipping or flip mending, because by using this method, a fly can be presented easily and drag free for a long distance.　It is an important technique in the fly fishing on a river.
