If you claim acceleration to cause a tailing loop, I will disagree.
If you claim proper (smooth) acceleration to cause a tailing loop, I will disagree either.
If you claim too uneven acceleration causing the tip to dip and rise and this shaping the fly-leg anomalie, I agree.
Violating the 180 concept causing a tailing loop per se would mean, that everytime we teach any sort of change of direction cast like for example the PUALD we would teach to fail.
All COD casts make it harder to controll smooth acceleration not causing a too sudden increase in rod bend. Lengthening the line does make it harder either. The moment we loose control, we try to compensate and mostly fuck up smoothness and make it worse.
I don't believe, that violating 180 as a stand alone cause, can create a tailing loop. It will be hard for you to keep all else in proper quality on a long carry (timing, line speed, smoothness and so on). But if you proove me (us) wrong, fine.
