Hi Merlin, if we take a 7WT line for example then yes.
Cheers, Paul

Re: OK... Rod configuration effect on the line?
Hi Gary,
Can’t you do them all with a rigid rod?

Re: Structuring multiple lessons
Well yes and no. My teaching has changed a lot since the App. While my first lesson or two has always been about loop control and namely short line loop control, particularly after Lee introduced his Triangle Method, it’s really been the past 5 years that I’ve overhauled my approach, and I’m very th...

Re: Line configuration affect on rod
the stiffer rod has a larger MOI and needs more energy to follow a given input, and that one of the reasons why one gets a larger tip speed and a larger elastic energy for such rod. Hi Merlin, the stiffer rod feels “lighter” when casting and can be rotated quicker. I assume this is because torque a...

Re: Structuring multiple lessons
Ooh. You’d have to standardise the drills and exercises and then examine someone’s ability to explain them. Then it becomes rather easy. Right now it’s rather difficult and all over the place. Quite unnecessarily IMO. The reason it’s difficult is because there is no map. This makes assessment diffic...

Re: Line configuration affect on rod
That’s what I initially thought too, George. But then Torsten said something different. So I looked up PE and found it’s half the spring constant multiplied by the square of deflection. Something I probably knew 40 years ago but have long since forgotten. And then Daniel gave an opposite example. I’...

Re: Structuring multiple lessons
For me it’s very straightforward, Vince. The first thing to learn is to cast loops. Not loops with 30’ of flyline. But just with the leader, with 1’ of flyline, 2’ etc etc up to whatever it can be. They can play with loops that are tight, open, not straightening, falling to the ground. Loops initiat...
