Actually from the position you stated a short quick flick forward of the rod would caused the tip to react in the opposite direction. Which is to say the tip will actual go backwards. Followed by beginning a quick off side mend reverted to an on side mend thus keeping the line in motion. while placing your rod and line hand in a position to make that first most critical long line strip. This should take about 1.37 seconds and all the good karma you've accumulated that morning. Ok I was just kidding about the time.
