Re: Line configuration affect on rod
I followed up the initial discussion with some practical tests. Using a 'weak link' in my S55 shooting head outfit, I determined that I could apply more force (by the fact the weak link snapped) with a 55g weight than with a 55g fly line. The difference was stark, no matter how aggressive I made th...

Re: Line configuration affect on rod
Aitor’s video of avoiding the tail (or depending on definitions, extreme dangling end) was possible because he allowed the line to fall into place, creating a waypoint. There are three ways. One is to do that, the other is to cast it there using trajectories and the third is to make a Belgian Cast....

Re: Line configuration affect on rod
IMO we are not casting the rod, we are casting the line. Different line taper and mass distributions, over different lengths, will feel and behave quite differently. That’s going to have an effect on how the rod bends; place all the weight next to the rod tip and the rod will flex more than if we s...
