Thanks< Merlin. I see where you are coming from. I was looking at it from the perspective of my limited understanding of Newton's laws of Motion which, I would assume, any calculations of friction would have to be based upon, and which are the things which the caster can apply at will with both the ...

Hi Merlin, I agree that a lot more slow motion videos need to be taken and analysed. But it’s incredibly time consuming – especially if you don’t have really good editing software and so on. And on top of it, to analyse really long casts you need a really good caster, and need to get the results of ...

If you tried to accelerate your car to 25 mph in 0.2 seconds, you are likely to blackout. :pirate: Both of mine would stall out, and I'd get broadsided. :D I accelerate them with my foot on the brake then release for fairly quick starts. To my layman's thinking, it shouldn't really matter where dur...

I just did here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pWNXcbrxDEE if that's what you are talkiing about. I can't watch vimeo for some reason unless they are imbeded. I don't understand what the point is of what he is saying. It seems to me that he is saying that a rod which is straight at the beginning o...

What a great thread ! It's a shame I've been so preoccupied in recent years wih other issues that I haven’t been paying attention to what’s been happening in the casting world. There has been a lot going on with slow motion analyses that’s for sure. Gordy, those clips are superb. This is my kind of ...

Heck... do you suggest, that my Canon 6D & 7D are redundant ? Tom I don't know anything about photography, Tom, but those cameras sound too high tech for me. I need something with only a few options to mess up. What I was after was a high frame rate without a fish eye lense. I would have much prefe...

Hi Walter, You’re off a bit on the GoPro capacity. They, at least the new ones, will accept the fastest 64 GB SD cards made – fingernail size like Simm cards That’s 64,000 megabytes not 64 megabytes. But you might need to hook up to a golf cart battery bank and hold the camera with welding gloves to...

Well if you ever get over here in May or June, bring it with you. I got a good spot for you to test it on animals.

Now that's a real fly, Paul !!! Looks like you got bunny tail beat.

I suspect something similar might apply in the Salt too, for example I don't think you want a crab moving towards a permit! In fact I'm sure that applies to all fish - a popper swimming at a Snakehead will completely spook it. In the US they talk about "feeding the fish" I think this is a good appr...
