Q

What is Creep (4 of 6 mechanics)?

A

Rod rotation during the “pause” in the direction of the next cast.

Creep shortens the stroke w/o reducing the power applied and results in downward tip pat which leads to tailing loops.

Q

What is Drag (5 of 6 mechanics)?

A

Hand translation during the “pause” in the direction of the next cast.

  • Drag and Drift are terms outside scope of study for CI certification.

Q

What is a Tailing Loop?

A

A tailing Loop is a loop caused by:
- a concave rod tip path in which the top (fly) leg dips toward and crosses the bottom (rod) leg.

Q

In a Trailing Loop, what causes the upward curving top (fly) leg to fall below the bottom (rod) leg?

A

Gravity

21
Q

Tracking is defined as?

A

The degree to which the rod tip follows a straight line in the horizontal plane during the casting stroke.

22
Q

What is Acceleration?

A

The rate of change of velocity (speed) or direction over the course of the casting stroke.

23
Q

What is rate of change of velocity (speed) over the casting stroke?

A

Acceleration.

24
Q

What is Force?

A

The energy provided by the caster to accelerate the rod during the casting stroke.

25
Q

The energy provided by the caster to accelerate the rod during the casting stroke is called what?

A

Force

26
Q

What is a LOOP.

A

It is the shape of the aerialized fly line formed by the casting stroke after decelerating and stopping the rod.

27
Q

The shape of the aerialized fly line formed by the casting stroke is called a?

A

Loop

28
Q

Rod bend =

A

Rod load = rod bend.

29
Q

In a Tip Cast, how much of rod tip is used?

A

20% - 30%

30
Q

A Tip Cast usually has a?

A
  • Narrow arc and a
  • short stroke
31
Q

Length of line generally means?

A

Amount of line BEYOND the rod tip.

  • for purposes of test, length of line is measured from caster to yarn.
32
Q

For purposes of test, how is the length of line is measured?

A

It is measured from caster to yarn.

33
Q

Why is Clock (face) used?

A

It denotes relative rod position vis-a-vis the casting arc or casting plane.

Each hour movement equals 30 degrees in arc. Ex. 10 to 2 is 120* arc (4 hrs x 30*)

34
Q

What is the Trajectory?

A

The upward or downward slanting direction of the casting plane relative to the surface, during a casting stroke.

Backcast usually has upward trajectory:
Forward cast usually has a downward trajectory.

35
Q

What is essential for a “narrow loop”?

A

Straight line path of the rod tip (SLP) during the casting stroke.

36
Q

A SLP (straight line path) or RSP (rod straight tip) of the Rod Tip during the casting stroke will cause what?

A

A narrow loop.

37
Q

Casting plane is?

A

The path followed by the rod, measured from vertical to horizontal, during a casting stroke.

Can be vertical to horizontal and any path in-between.

38
Q

What is Translation
.

A

ONLY the Hand moves forward or backward. Rod DOES NOT move except in direction of hand.

The linear motion of a body (fly rod in our case) independent of motion.

See page 17 and 45 of CI manual.

39
Q

What is ‘Rotation”?

A

When the rod from handle up ONLY moves forward or backward, the arm or hand does NOT move in any direction.

Rod rotation only - To turn or cause to turn around an axis, line or point.

40
Q

What is the Fly Leg?

A

The leg of the loop attached to the “fly”.

41
Q

What is the Rod Leg?

A

The leg of the loop that extends from the rod.

42
Q

The leg of the loop that extends from the rod is called?

A

Rod Leg

43
Q

The leg of the loop attached to the “fly” is called the?

A

Fly Leg

44
Q

What does “Convex” cast look like?

A

Wide open loop due to dome shaped rod path during forward casting stroke.

45
Q

Casting Arc is an “Angle” measured during what?

A

Rod Rotation.

46
Q

What is name of Rod Tip Path that dips in middle of rods forward stroke?

A

Concave

47
Q

Convex is when rod tip travels….

A

Higher in middle.

48
Q

Good Tracking is usually defined as?

A

Good Tracking generally refers to the degree to which your rod tip follows a straight line in the horizontal plane.
