Hi Torsten

I'm still impressed by the model. I'd be interested to see how much difference small increments of line stiffness make on loop size.

regards

Hi Torsten,

Just an observation -

This is something I've seen when using bungee cord to "cast" a line so that I could get a controlled repeatable cast. This worked very well until I applied too much force/tension in setting up the cast and then the line would immediately form waves as soon as I released it. With less tension the line cast beautifully and with more tension the line formed waves as soon as I released it. My thoughts are that the excess force/tension caused the line to stretch and when I released it it began to contract and this resulted in the waves that I was seeing. This was in line with an observation that Bruce Richards once made about stretchy lines that had experimented with. When a distance caster like Rajeff applied excess power to the line it would form waves during the cast. A less stretchy line didn't have this problem.
