Maximum Rod Bend

[Merlin]

I am experimenting with haul duration and rod types at the moment for both the Trout Distance and Sea Trout Distance events and it is a fine balance between the impact on distance

Hi John

The faster the rod is, the smaller the window to place peak haul velocity is. For a #10 rod, MCL can be right in between MAV and RSP, with 40 ms difference on each side.

Thanks Daniel, appreciated. That absolutely supports my experiences with the 38 gram ICSF event and the counter flex generated.

Thanks,

John

Quick question (that is a pun!)

When you talk of a short haul (100ms), or a normal one (300ms), you are speaking of haul duration.

What is the distance the hand travels during this period?

Do you / can you vary this in your model?

Here is a record of your hand speed and acceleration for a 170 cast:
Merlin,
Do you have a similar record of the haul speed and haul acceleration Paul uses for a distance cast?

As we know the hand or hand separation speed is not the same as the haul speed because of the effect of the rod rotation on the distance between the haul hand and the first stripper guide.

Regardless, as with any mechanical system the haul velocity is the integral of the haul acceleration. Thus the haul acceleration will go to zero when the velocity reaches its maximum just as shown in your graphs.

I will see if I have some haul velocity data on one of Paul's casts to get an idea of how much delay there is between the peak of the acceleration of the haul and the peak of the haul velocity. It appears that difference was around 50 ms for your hand speed graphs.

I can tune distance and time, for 300 ms I use PHVelocity = 10 m/s and haul distance is 1.5 meters.

It was 75 ms in the graphics Gordy (300 ms/4)

Paul's record comes from your dataset, it was a distance cast as far as I can remember and I use a simplification of the haul (it is not a 3D model) and not a precise description as you explain in your post.

Merlin

PS for Gary: in the case of 100 ms, the hand path is 0.5 m.

I will see if I have some haul velocity data on one of Paul's casts to get an idea of how much delay there is between the peak of the acceleration of the haul and the peak of the haul velocity.

Here are measured haul acceleration and haul velocity plots for one of Paul's delivery casts.

It appears the delay between max haul acceleration and max haul velocity was around 60 ms in that cast.

That data was taken from this video.


From the annotations on the graphs you can see that MAV was at 138 ms before RSP1, and the max haul acceleration was reached about 20 ms before MAV.

Merlin, just based on the similarity of the curves I think your plots were for haul speed values not just hand speed.

It is exactly the same record Gordy, I missed the point it was not the hand path but the haul itself. Sounds good for modeling.

Hi Lou,
You started this thread from here:

When teaching hauling we usually mention the two major benefits of hauling...increase bend and increase line speed.

...
These are some of the secondary thoughts, don't expect answers, merely thought provocing.

After nearly 60 posts, what are the benefits auf hauling as you understand them by now?

Oh, and let me add, I did expect answers when I started reading all 6 pages!
Cheers

While the rod tip acts as a pulley post MCL it also does so at any time that the rod is not directly pointing down the line IMO.
Gordy

Hi Gordy,
how can the rod tip per se act as a pulley post minimum chord length = during straightening?
Can you please explain, thanks.

Bernd
