Default Rod Dynamics ?

My knowledge of the actual numbers behind physics is very limited, so
I'll offer up my simple minded version of Newton's Third Law. Could it
be that every action has an equal and opposite reaction?

...but I'm a designer not a physician er, physisonian, or was that a
physisoligist. Oh hell I don't now what I'm talking about.

Hello:

Was reading a book on ballistics the other day, and the author was
describing conditions
where a rifle barrel would drop a small amount as a shell was fired.

He used an example that if one held a fly rod rod truly horiz., and gave the
handle a very quick
upward (I think he means backwards; toward ones head) pure rotation, the tip
momentarily goes Downward.

Have my rods away for the season, so can't try it.

Can't visualize this happening.

Does it ?
Why does it, if so ?
