Question: is there a link between fly leg behavior and linear density of the line (mass per unit length)? I refer to the effect of tension here (=rholine (V/2)^2)

No, because the acceleration alone (e.g. dV/V) does not depend on it. I mean that F=ma can also be seen as a= F/m. By dividing by m, you make the density of the line (linear or not) disappear from the equation.

Beware of the loop :ninja:
