If this perception of “the rod does what it wants” remains, then we have to take this out of caster’s mind. Yes, we do and fair play for seeing the problem now but whilst I don't see any particular benefit in rubbing noses in anything here I think we should be aware how this came about.... I never ...

Trevor If I didnt have a raft of even more deeply humdrum and pointless tasks to do already in my life I would trawl through threads for the last three or four years which repeatedly claim that these models are exactly a reflection of what is happening in a real cast...or a real rod. I've been chew...

I realise that we are conducting two threads on each board at once here Merlin...sorry 'bout that. When you mention you can maintain a deflection by moving along a rod, you are in a translation situation: the rod is in a steady state and is bending by inertia (rod, line) and air drag; it will unloa...

I'm with you Mark, I think the actual conditions are such that they do not correspond to all the variety of situations we can imagine with a model. Experience has told rod designers which stiffness to chose for which line and despite the uncertainty around this fit, generally speaking, there is a s...

I think I understand how the model functions, my visualiastion difficulties are because I cannot reconcile the model to a cast. It simply isn't what happens whatever the model says. This, I suspect is not because my eyes are fkd or I lack the wit or imagination to understand the maths but because t...

Marc The answer is yes, it is just a question of tuning parameters. Merlin Excellent, so there is a set of perameters that produce a graph showing the car in the car/spring/brick, accelerating at one rate and the brick accelerating at a lower rate up to the point where the car decelerates ? This re...

As the spring extends, so the retarding force on the falling mass increases, thus it's rate of acceleration decreases. When, during a normal casting stroke, does the rate of acceleration of either my hand or the rod butt decrease ? If it did, and sadly it sometimes does, the rod would indeed begin ...

Yep, well, I think I can have a go at answering Springers original question... The reason I ask is that if fly casting is all about such high percentages of leverage then why is it that heavier loads cast better with rods which bend deeper? Im thinking in particular about long bellied lines and ska...

I know what a third class lever is Walter....my query was in response to this from Gordy He says... I think that we can agree that the broomstick functions as a third class lever, but because of the more complicated dynamic response of the spring in the rod to external forcing accelerations the rod...

No mechanical advantage as I mentioned it is a mechanical disadvantage. If you wanted to lift a heavy weight you would not use a fishing rod or a broomstick held in your hand. Yes, I completely understand your point. It's one of the issues I have had in understanding this model with respect to the ...

I think that we can agree that the broomstick functions as a third class lever, but because of the more complicated dynamic response of the spring in the rod to external forcing accelerations the rod (even to first order) does not.
