From Lou Bruno on loop control:
Gordy,
More
on climbing loops and line control; I was reading a book by John Ball, in his
book (page 19) he was discussing certain rules that a caster has to confront.
One such rule was the rule on gravity. He says, “…that regardless of the
distance man may eventually cast a fly, he will have to do it in approximately
the same length of time that it would take his line to drop vertically from the
height of his rod tip. His only hope of escape would be a line that would plane
slightly (which usually hampers it from turning over
properly)…”
Was
John trying to say “climbing loops” when he talks about “a line that would plane
slightly?”

Lou .... I don't know. Can you give us the name and ISBN number of John Bell's book ?
It would be interesting to know if anyone has actually performed those time measurements . Seems one way to do it would be to have the same length of the same line and leader held from the rod tip and time its fall, then time the fall of the actual cast.
