Hi folks,
I had an interesting comment from a Sexyloops YouTuber who said that he had (at some point in the past hopefully!) had a cane rod snap during pull-back. I have a cane rod which doesn’t snap with pull-back.
What are your thoughts, is this potentially a damaged rod or just that the design didn’t like it?
I imagine the physics to be a whip-wave being chased out of the rod, from butt to tip. This will I think put additional stress on the tip section?
Cheers, Paul

Same physics?
Re: Pull-back and snapped rod
Obviously rounders requires a stopless hit rather than pullback.

Where did it break, Paul?

Re: Pull-back and snapped rod
I think this backward movement was too abrupt for my old bamboo. The upper knee broke right at the connecting sleeve.

Re: Pull-back and snapped rod
Connection sleeve of course is a critical point...
Usually a Bamboo rod shouldn't break castingwise. But I just got 2 modern graphite rods back, which broke casting wise. I assume sometimes there can be rods having a weak point in the material and then break, if the movement meets exactly that point in a peak force. Same for all materials.

Re: Pull-back and snapped rod
I was looking for something a bit more technical than that. Specifically I was wondering if the second frequency that pull back creates, combined with the additional mass of the cane rod, created a more potentially explosive situation.
I was thinking about experimenting with some spaghetti but that means opening a new packet, which is a bad idea here in the tropics, unless you plan to cook it all!
I was given a cane rod in China that I’m happy to play with. It does come with a spare tip
Cheers, Paul

Re: Pull-back and snapped rod
I think Bernd is right. Is the term “stress raiser” technical enough?
