Mike, there have always been snow in some parts of Spain, just not in those parts that british use to visit. :D
Aitor is not like us, he is Spanish, and therefore completely mad.

If it helps just say that Mike says that pre-load is bollocks. Rod loading is 15% of the cast. How much could "pre-load" possibly contribute anyway?


If you are interested in getting a better feel for the physics of casting you might want to take a look at what Grunde's model says about the usefulness of pre-load.

It it was possible to start the acceleration on the forward cast with a large amount of pre-load it would most likely decrease the final line speed not increase it.
