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 and verticle 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 change of position of the rod butt

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.

An angular change in position of the rod butt.

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 and vertical plane.
