Hauling, Rod-loading.

This incidentally proves the hauling theory, as when a rod and line
are attached to a fence post, a haul does not accelerate the line, but
it increases tension massively. This explains why even a small fast
haul increases line momentum very considerably. There has always been
very considerable controversy about this, some maintaining that the
haul increases rod loading ( it does to some extent), and other
maintaining that the line was accelerated. The line is accelerated to
some extent, but the primary factor is line tension.

Without the tension the line can not be accelerated, the greater the
tension, the greater the acceleration.

Imagine the traces of a dog sled. Before the sled can move, the traces
must be taut, ( = under tension), the greater the tension, the greater
the force on the sled, and the faster it moves. It is also necessary
to increase tension constantly in order to mainatin or increase it,
which further proves the theory, as this is also the ideal casting
stroke.

Lastly, tension is the force which allows fly casting to function at
all. Tension is what keeps the line in the air. that it also explains
why a haul works as it does, and the ideal casting stroke has not
hitherto been explored.

Using Newtons;

The newton is the unit of force derived in the SI system; it is equal
to the amount of force required to give a mass of one kilogram an
acceleration of one metre per second squared. Algebraically:

1N = 1kg*m/s²

To describe the force on the rod tip is also correct.

This incidentally also demonstrates why a cast with slack at any point
fails, and why the point of tension release ( conversion to momentum),
is of such paramount importance.

A smooth steadily accelerating cast, with the line under steadily
increasing tension, gives the best cast. A haul adds tension, and
increases rod tip speed.

Quite a few ramifications actually, I am presently graphing the
information, and trying to propgram a range of simulations to which I
may ad actual data from various rods, lines etc.
