I'm reading an older SL post on 'back,casting.' One of the faults mentioned was this, as it pertained to 'to large a casting arc.'
This is the first time I've come across this phrase, I'd be guessing as to the exact definition and application.
Thoughts?

Hi George, My issues with trying to turn Slide into Drag is we often see this with the haul: IMG_6262.jpeg Compared to what I try to achieve which is this: IMG_6261.jpeg The top is a haul predominantly driven from the shoulder whereas the bottom is from the elbow. I find I can generate more speed f...

Finally got time to watch the video; I'll be watching this one again.
So many aspects of the cast are visually highlighted and described. So much emphasis on getting our legs involved too.
I can say so much but won't... excellent job by all.

Greetings Recently I got to reading a couple of SL topics; currently playing "catch up" with 'Dissecting the haul' post. I haven't finished reading all the comments but I had to go out and practice. I didn't try to manipulate all of the variables mentioned in the post...just 3 or 4. What I...

So Spey rods due to their length have high swing weights, if I understand your explanation.

Lou

Lasse Appreciate the clarification on your video; i need to give that a go. Wouldn't a DT fly line be a wise choice to eliminate overhang? Also if excessive overhang buggers-up our cast why introduce it; there's times when we do... distance casts come to mind. As long as we can control our cast that...

Hi Lou . Swing weight is the moment produced by rod weight on hand when holding the rod. MOI is a dynamic characteristic expressing the difficulty to rotate a rod, just as weight is a measurement of the difficulty to move an object. Merlin Merlin So a lighter rod should have a lower swing weight. D...

Merlin

Your correct, should be swing weight.

I think I see running line. From your video it appears to be two of the background windows wide. As you change you casting arc your loops get wider, but I don't see any problem otherwise due to the running line.

Greetings Do we know the effects of overhang on our cast and rod tip? When I practice can have a limited amount of overhang during the entire casting stroke? I know I can't on my initial line pick up. What determines our limits...loop & line collapse, line begins to fall, lack of energy. Also, i...
