Pushing or Pulling, synonymous with rotation timing?
I think if he'd have known the amount of confusion it was going to cause, he might have chosen different terminology. Definitely. I think that there are cases in which what he defined as "poetry" doesn't convey the idea properly. Just saying "don't rotate the rod till the end" i...

Pushing or Pulling, synonymous with rotation timing?

Learning from falling and leaping chains
Loop propagation means that the distance between the loop front and a given point in the line forming the rod leg increases with time; or that the distance between the loop front and the tip of the line decreases with time. or that the fly leg is constantly turning into rod leg.
