Looking through fly fishing forums I often read a statement like this: „we rotate the fly rod and as the inevitable consequence it deflects“ (and again recently “rod bend is a consequence of our main purpose to rotate the rod”). This statement left me unsatisfied. On the one hand I… Weiterlesen »fly rod deflection and rotation

In additional contemplation to my work “Experimental investigations on the fly rod deflection” I looked at the distribution of the velocities, which mass elements of the fly rod have. Over the duration of the cast it becomes clear, that the velocities of these mass elements vary significant to each other due… Weiterlesen »velocity distribution of the mass elements on the fly rod shaft

In the following I take up the main criticism which were observed after the first publication of my “experimental investigation on the fly rod deflection” (in which I compare a flexible with a total rigid fly rod) in february 2014. In the revision 2.0 of my investigations, published in november… Weiterlesen »criticism on the advantages of flexible fly rods

(deutsche Version) +++++++++++ update in november 2014 – the revision 2.0 is published ! The english translation is out now ! In the revision 2.0 I added some investigations – especially about the impact of the mass of both fly rods and about a casting movement that keep the tip… Weiterlesen »experimental investigations on the fly rod deflection
