Yep, well, I think I can have a go at answering Springers original question... Similarly, there is a point where the rod is so long that although we have all the benefits of it as a third class lever, we are completely unable to compensate for the consequent convexity of the tip path at any load or...

When referring to Recoils, are we condemning all of the designs? http://www.rec.com/html/recoilguidesfly.html Snakes / Single Foot / Stripping Guides I've had a couple of Scott S4 rods with Recoil snakes and have never had an issue with them wearing-out; I practice quite a lot (often on tarmac) but...

Here is a very special technique I use for really huge distance on the Switch/ Jump roll cast: 1. Position your feet squared to the target (some distance between your feet) 2. Move the rod backwards while leaning over on your line hand sided foot. Rod tilted to the side in order to achieve high ten...

Klaus, I haven't fished the ONE 586-4 but have cast with it, on grass, for an hour or so. I used my own reels/lines and was most impressed with its willingness to handle whatever #5 or #6 line I put on it. At the heavy end of the scale it liked the 13.6g Barrio SLX ... It didn't strike me as a smal...

Apart from the basic principles which apply to any casting stroke I would add: 1.- An anchor as short as possible (just long enough to prevent it slipping backwards). 2.- A rod leg of the D loop as long as possible (but not so long that the anchor fails, or lifts from the water before finishing the...

... no one buys the same rod again, and sales drop quickly after initial product launch. This means that rod ranges have to be reinvented every three to five years to maintain sales. How do you keep reinventing rods? Technological advances. And when there aren't any marketing invents some. Paul, pe...
