It can also be how your backcast has straightened, or not, if there is a big sag in the line when you start the forwards cast bits of the line (the fly) are directed downwards. This is basically a form of dangling end that can potential clip you.
You can get the same line configuration breaking the 180 (trajectories).

Re: Loop control
Interesting, I did notice at times when I drift I create a bit of slack.
I have deleted the footage from when I was doing it last a couple of weeks ago...it would have been interesting to see if I had that little bit of slack then.
Thanks for all the help.....if it starts happening again I now have a few different things to look for and try to rectify.

Re: Loop control
Slack and Sag are different for me Jason. I’ll need to draw some art. But I’m in the boat swinging in a hammock. I’ll do this tomorrow
Cheers Paul

Re: Loop control
To whom it may concern
I’m wondering what happened to the circular loop discussed in this thread ,is it a “circular loop” or a “loop the loop” did anyone film one or come up with a definitive explanation!
(Was is it in fact mushroom season? )
Perplexed of Oundle

Re: Loop control
Hi Pom, no but if you look at that loop I posted as the Dolphin Nose it is a complete circle instead of a U-shape. They may or may not be related!
