I do not agree with the tailing loop or tailing loop from too
much power It is where you add the
power.
I can cast one handed to 55 ft. I thought you chose that to make it past the one hand casting
distance of most casters.
So I am off to try it
for sure. I will use the but section then a soft tip section just to make
sure. YOU know I have to prove it to myself..

Group,
Back after my testing.
Changing rods or rod length
did not work.
What did work was changing
LINES
I took a 5 wt rod and loaded it with WF9F line it would be the
soft rod.
The tried a WF3F wt line this would be the stiff
rod.
I cast Tailing loops on both
extremes
Gordy YOU were right
again.
With the 9 wt I was overloading
using the same stroke I would for the 5 wt
line
With the 3 wt line I did not have
any load and to my surprise I again cast tailing
loops.
The rod was under loaded or not loaded acting like a straight
stiff rod. My casting stroke and power had to be changes to make it cast at
all. But I could not reach the 50 ft mark, with it
under loaded
Thanks that is not what I was thinking would happen at
all.

ol Al..
As you know, the answer to this one
is: A TAILING LOOP.
That's the short
answer.
Long answer: Using
no corrections to hand path or application of power, the tip path of the very
soft (limber) rod will assume a CONCAVE path.
