RE: Want to pick your brain on a few things... (PART2)

Hi...

Yes... Sure is a "double" or really an "S" bend of this flexible rod.

Looks as though the tip section has been bent and has not yet come out of
it's bend before the butt section was bent in the opposite direction.

Could this have been done with force sufficient to form a deep bend of the
tip and mid section of the rod quickly followed by the application of force
in the opposite direction ?.... 

I could even imagine a simultaneous combination of what Don Phillips
described as first and second frequency wiggle.*  One cycle superimposed
upon the other.

* The Technology of Fly Rods, Don Phillips, pp 85-88.

I've never seen that before.

FASCINATING !!
