    The speed of the rod tip is directly related to the number of trees behind you, and their proximity, and inversely related to to how delicate a presentation you need to make.

    Where A is the cast, and B is the backcast, C is the number of trees behind you, D is the delicacy of the presentation required, then A=B/C = windknots x A = speed.
