Flycasting, so simple that instructors need to make it complicated since 1685

Why Paul, the wind could be better for one set of casts one day and the advantage reversed the next.

There was definitely a TCX #10 in the mix - it was my ST27 rod at the time (plus Tracy's predator rod).
When I did my own, separate, test I chucked furthest with a Xi3 #12 - but that felt very flukey (poor 2nd cast). I've never had the confidence to use this in a comp.
But then you have to ask who wins a casting contest (we've done this before) - someone with a high average but low deviation or someone with a slightly lower average but a higher deviation? The statistics suggest the slightly lower average/higher SD caster wins more than they lose.

Sounds reasonable to me James, what did your own test indicate if you treated the flukey cast as an outlier?James9118 wrote:The statistics suggest the slightly lower average/higher SD caster wins more than they lose.

Why is there so much doubt about stiff rods casting further?
I am casting further since I switched from a TCR #6 to a HT10.
Most finalists in the WC are casting #9 or #10 rods I think. Isn’t that convincing enough?
Cheers, Bart

Hi Vince - unfortunately I can't find the data. I know I posted the best casts on the old board (it was Tracy and me casting a number of rods) but I probably had all the distances on a scrap of paper.

Why not #12 or broomsticks, they’re stiffer? Is #9 and 10 a physical limit such that the strongest will win?bartdezwaan wrote:

Because Ronny threw 44 meters in 12 with a 5 rod, and if stiffer threw further, why aren't we throwing 54 now?bartdezwaan wrote:Why is there so much doubt about stiff rods casting further?

Tor used a 8 loomis nrx in 14, and everyone was thinking he used a 12....
How much further are you throwing from TCR 6 to HT 10? (Still claim the HT8 is stiffer than HT10
)I'll see if I can find my numbers tomorrow, they where on the old board. .
Oh, and I'm saying the rod you use the most will yield the longest, and that just using a stiffer rod will not give you 2 meters more like magic. Paul claims otherwise, and I just want to have data,.. Paul, James and Lee seem to be fine with minimal data to support their claims, I prefer more data to less, call me old fashioned
