This means it travels faster and further. What about the taper?? -- Scott Reverse name to reply What about it? TL MC For the purposes of this discussion the taper is irrelevant. It is there to allow smooth power transition to the leader, and turn the fly over. If you use 30 feet of #6 line from the front of a standard DT, then it has the standard taper for that line. You can also turn this around, and put the tapered end on the reel. This will give you a line similar to a "bug taper", which will turn over very stiff leaders and heavy flies, as the power transition to the leader is then much more abrupt. As the mass of a line decreases when rolling out, ( and assuming a correctly powered cast) the kinetic energy in the line remains the same, this results in the tapered part of the line having more energy per unit of mass, and forces the line to turn over faster. If you do not use a taper, the energy transfer is more abrupt, and the line may even "kick back" unless a very steeply tapered leader is used with a long thick butt section. This is irrelevant to the principle under discussion. TL MC |

The taper is an impedance-matching effort which should be important to cast and presentation. -- Scott Reverse name to reply Cutting a line in half, or cutting thirty feet off one end of a DT has no effect on the taper.

Or telling me that the rod action affects what size fly you can cast, when it has absolutely nothing to do with it? On this, I must respectfully disagree. If I may use one of Sir Isaac's favorite equations, F=ma, it's clear that fast action rods and slow action rods have different capacities for the acceleration component of that equation, and thus have a mathematical difference in the force they can generate with a constant mass, or a different mass with a constant force. That difference can manifest itself in either the fly characteristics or distance cast; but there *will* be a non- zero difference. Joe F. |
