Re: Structuring multiple lessons
Hi John, exactly, we cast the line, not the rod. That's unlike other sports you have mentioned, a flexible level between you and the "projectile". Principles apply only partially, mechanics is quite different IMHO (as Merlin has pointed out in a different thread). Greetings, Torsten Hi Joh...

Re: Structuring multiple lessons
Hi, good question, I'm guessing Lefty meant SW gear (8-11) and normal WFs with something like a 40' head. Absolute distances make only sense with the context. For instance even world's best fly casters don't average 110' under controlled conditions (indoor, ED5) - see for instance the swedish study ...

Re: Structuring multiple lessons
Hi Paul, You have time to rebuild his stroke. You’ll get 10 lessons say and 80-100 hrs of training. .. I don’t know about cost/benefits but most of my students are SW anglers. That's something like 1k€ for these lessons? Sounds like a great business if you can sell it via remote teaching, so no trav...

Re: ICSF WC Flycasting Sweden 2024
Wow, 5K USD. Nils, in my opinion this concept is totally unattractive unless you're member of a sponsored team or rich and famous. Another blocker is in my opinion that you need to take a full week off, not that easy for working people. Maybe the complexity went out of control? For comparison, data ...

Re: Line configuration affect on rod
Hi Paul, Merlin/Gordy were faster, alternatively you can derive it this way: PE= 1/2 * k * x^2 combined with Fs = -k * x (Hooke's Law) -> x = - Fs / k -> PE = 1/2 * Fs² / k and this means if we assume Fs (the load) is constant PE ~ 1 / k PE is inverse proportional to k Ah yes. Because PE= 1/2 k.x^2 ?

Re: Line configuration affect on rod
AFAIK it was ~20m for the long and ~10m for the short one; my premise was however to keep the fly/rod leg straight. When it's warmer I can try to repeat the experiment, perhaps I'm getting a different impression. a short and a long shooting head and I've described my findings in #33 How long is a lo...

Re: Line configuration affect on rod
When we simplify the rod as a spring, the softer rod stores more spring energy for the same load. Sorry in that last sentence I should have written “bend” not “load”. You are correct George. I believe that stored elastic energy would be the same between softer and stiffer rods under the same load. I...

Re: Line configuration affect on rod
Hi, in my case was it a 18g casting plug, a short and a long shooting head and I've described my findings in #33, also somewhere in the archive is the discussion. I've snapped often enough casting plugs, usually this happens after non-smooth acceleration or if you forget to release the line :) My gu...
