The Weber "Moviegram" Method, from a vintage 1930s booklet by Weber Lifelike Fly Co. (Weber Lifelike Fly Co.), teaches fly casting through sequential, picture-based steps, emphasizing the "straight-line" path of the rod tip for tight loops and accuracy, using forearm and wrist for power, and avoiding curved motions. The core principles involve a smooth acceleration to a stop for the backcast, followed by another smooth acceleration and stop for the forward cast, then a gentle lowering, essentially breaking the cast into distinct phases (lift, backcast, forward cast, laydown) for clarity, similar to modern basic casting, but presented visually in its original format.
