False casting problem

I did not say that the line would always hit the rod if the line was
traveling below the tip of the rod. I said that if the line is hitting the
rod, You have a tailing loop.(or I meant't to say that) I may be wrong but
I think that the definition of a tailing loop is that the line is moving
below the tip of the rod. A tailing loop will only hit the rod when the
cast is near veritcal. I have noticed a lot of people practising long
distance casting with a long line, and the tip of the line never gets much
more than 3 or 4 feet above the ground. If the cast is tilted you will
probably not have a problem of wind knots, etc. But that does not make it
good form

Jack Sorry, but if the line is hitting your rod, you have a tailing
Jack loop. If th line is not above the tip of the rod, it is
Jack tailing.

That's what I thought at one point too, but I don't think that this is
necessarily true. Think about the pendulum / underhand cast, for
example: there the line would *definitely* hit the rod if the cast
would be done vertically, but you can do it with or without tailing
loops.

Jack If you are casting a lot of line, 40' plus, it is difficult to
Jack keep the line above the tip of the rod.

Why? If the line would drop below the tip of the rod, then it would
hit the rod, right? Referring to your comment above, would this mean
that with 40' plus of line, you tend to create tailing loops? If not,
then why is it difficult to keep 40' plus of line above the rod tip?
I'm not being a smartass here, I'm just trying to explore the problem.

True, so very true. And good form and beauty is what I'm also after
here (that's a serious comment, not irony).

Merry christmas!
