Hi Gordy,

I attach a Word file with some more comments.

Aitor....

Interesting !  Makes us have to re think some of this material.

From Peter Lami :

Gordy,

Altor Coteron's question is easy to answer.  Maximum acceleration occurs at peak load.

Peter ....  

 

A while back, I'd have agreed with you.  NOW, however, we have a paradox:

 

How can we even have maximum acceleration if the acceleration is constant !

From David Lambert :

Gordy, hey

Regarding the point of loop formation relative to RSP. Attached are

hi-def singles of the Grunde Lovell cast with time clock at bottom left

corner. Darker line is rod tip path from small illumination at rod tip.

The lighter line is the fly line. I think we can see clearly here that

loop formation (lighter or the two lines) begins after RSP, at least for

this cast making this cast.

That said, I have a strong feeling this may not be true for all straight

line casts, nor for all casts from the same caster, but I have no hard

evidence to support that.

Hope these are useful.

David....

I included your attachments.

I've studied this in the past.  It helped formed my opinion that the loop probably does begin to form a fraction of a second after RSP.

True of this string of photos.  However, I don't think without further study that we can be certain this will hold true for all casts.

From Bob Rumpf :

Hi Gordy & Group,

 

Paul Arden is accurate when he says that many anglers fish all day without a distinct or precise stop of the rod. I find myself daily either out on the water, or watching anglers from the banks throughout the entire season here in the Catskills. And I am able to attest to the fact that most people cast without a definite stop. Their casting is nothing to write home about, and usually consists of lazy type, oversized loops, if indeed you can call them loops, to a distance usually no more than 30 to 35 feet. If I had to give you a percentage, I would say more than 75% cast without a definite stop. Makes it sound like I should have lots of work. Doesn't it?

 

Regards,
