From Ally Gowans :
Hi
Gordy,
Some excellent answers
so far! Knowing where the noise is generated, particularly knowing which part of
a rod causes the turbulence heard is very useful. Any comments on the relative
speed of the rod butt and tip during a cast? Re hearing the ?splash down?
of a Spey type cast, I would recognise this generally as a fault unless its done
intentionally for any reason.
Best
wishes,
Ally

Ally,
I doubt I could make any decisions on the relative speeds of the rod butt and tip by the sounds made. Perhaps others can.
I can't really hear the Spey splash down unless there is no wind and all is quiet. Perhaps my "splash down" isn't perfect !

From Craig Buckbee :
i believe it was Al Buhr that suggested that i practice casting sans yarn-fly ... a sure way to hear an ineffective pause.

Craig: Interesting point. Perhaps Al will expand on this for us.
