Ok, I had my first go with the Analyser today and I got some numbers here that I don´t really understand. Maybe someone here could explain some of them to me and also come with suggestions on what I should work on?
So, here is my first 30 ft cast with the analyser on.
Suck my TCR! Blow my doublehander! Where the heck where you when we met in Scotland? The salmon was nearly jumping into our waders, even you might have caught one.
Fishing has not really started here yet. Don´t worry, I'll catch up... :p
I got some very disturbing readings here that I´ve yet to post. When my girlfriend Charlott uses she gets Expert readings in every aspect. When I record casts the readings makes no sense at all. :oh:
I got recordings of 6-7 degree acrs at + 750 d/s, some -100% road loads, smoothness readings of 216. Don´t worry if the numbers makes no sense to you because they don´t.
Not yet. I will be able to soon though. I still get wierd stops and arcs. -8000 d/s/s is the record.
So far the machine has helped me improve my symmetry. And to change into a steeper acceleration (less smoothness).
Fredrik and I had a lot of fun with it yesterday. Long line carries at high speed. Fredrik does 94% at 600 d/s with a 130 d arc, 25 meter carry. I don´t know how that sounds, but I can tell you it looks awesome.
Hi Stefan,
As well as keeping the analyser in plane with the cast it's important that it is held stationary when you push the button. Are you getting many non-computable casts? I get a lot of those on the 170.
Not that many really. I get readings on every cast that I don´t unplug the cabel on. It´s just that I don´t understand some of them
8000 d/s/s stop? What does that suggest? I can repeate it over and over again.
Yes, dead still and keeping the analyser/reel in plane is not one of my problems. On domestic casts it works a treat.
I´d really like to know the concept behind that smoothness variable. Low (desirable) smoothness ratio seems to equates to early/throughout rotation and I am not to sure that is all I want to have in my casting?
When I max out I get wierd stops, sometimes I get very narrow arcs. I keep getting very low rod loads of -100 and the like. The gyro seems to go wild when I flip the rod over fast and late.
I hate to say this but I think 8000d/s/s suggests whiplash. I don't agree with the smoothness ratio and actually think you want exponential acceleration - at least for distance casting. But no one really knows.
