Not to me. It is what I teach the newbies I guide. If they want to continue FF then I teach them false casting.
No wrist breaks, no windshield wiper, no loosing flies behind you. Roll cast is really a great learning cast.
Try tying small tags of mono to your leader creating what looks like Barb Wire. This helps dry lawn roll casting.

[#0000bf]I agree. More instructors need to teach roll casting first. From what I have seen people pick up the roll casting a lot quicker and they can do the roll cast further than they can the basic overhead cast. [/#0000bf]

[#0000bf]It is harder and more time consuming to find water to cast on. A field or parking lot is a lot quicker and easier to access.[/#0000bf]

[#0000bf]Teaching kids at a dock I found that getting them to roll cast was easier and more satisfying for them to pickup. Especially the boys. They seem to be more hard of hearing than I am or maybe they just have a lot shorter attention span to get the hang of the overhead cast.[/#0000bf]
