Casting has always been a mix of art and science. Occasionally, though, casters allow the art to overshadow the science, creating traditions borne of misguided beliefs. Over the years, J. Tyler Teague has taken great pleasure in debunking these beliefs. The owner of JETT Research in Johnson City, Tennessee, Teague has developed a reputation as an expert caster with a scientist’s mind and a rebel’s heart, who isn’t afraid to stand up to the industry’s superstitions.
