Approximately 60 yrs ago a certain science teacher tried to make me understand levers. It appears I didn't listen very well.
My problem has to do with exactly how a short tug with the line hand, when co-ordinated with the speed up and stop portion of the cast, causes the rod tip to bend further and thus loading the rod with extra energy to cause additional casting speed of the line
following the abrupt stop.
My present muddled thinking is that a tug on the line would tend to straighten the candy cane bend ?!!. Of course I know this cannot be true. I just wish I could understand the mechanics of how it works.
I would be very grateful for any help that knowledgeable readers could provide.
