Re: Guide number question
I roughly follow the static checks for guide spacing that Dale Clemens uses before wrapping the guides and like Graeme use one per foot of rod length as a rule of thumb, although some sources recommend 1 per foot + 1. If I have to make adjustments, I shuffle up from the butt end, rather than put an ...

Re: Tailing loops
Have a good trip, would love to fish that river before I get too old and infirm.

Re: Tailing loops
It does of course highlight one of the weaknesses of improving a stroke one step at a time. Fix one problem and another appears. In this case, tighten the back loop, and tendency to tail appears. Another example is to fix in-built Creep resulting in a tight loop and you end up with a wide arc and a...

Re: The one thing instructors never seem to cover?
I agree it’s not well covered and the topic has come up when I’ve been teaching. I find it hard to call when to introduce it in a lesson, too early and it can demolish their confidence as the newly discovered cast collapses, too late and it screws up their fishing. From fishing stillwaters and going...

Re: Changing task constraints
Hi Phil In my limited experience of 170, the tip speed is higher for 170, certainly on the forward cast. From the physics standpoint, work done on the line is the important parameter to focus on, it also makes it easier to apply a smooth change in the rate of acceleration that the caster applies. I ...

Teaching students faults so that you can fix them is a great business model

Re: Tailing loops
Hi Paul I tend to think of the fly leg being straight or not straight because there’s a few ways of cocking it up. When I was putting DNs out and in the fly leg, I didn’t rotate into the loop. Shortening the stroke like that can bring out all sorts of odd line configurations that would traditionally...

Re: Changing task constraints
Hi Paul, I think it was a case of me throwing my arm into the cast, instead of accelerating with a purpose. No twinges yet, I’ll see what morning brings
