{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Bendy vs. Stiffy article

Hi Dalton -- I appreciate the input.  I also don't know "models" of fly rods very well, and it seemed at least possible to me that the two rods may be "fast" and "moderate" vs. actually what (I consider) a true fast v. slow comparison.  This would also sort of stack things more in favor of the "one stroke" idea vs. them having an old bamboo, "wet fly action" rod or something compared to a fast rod.

Gene,

Thanks for posting this, that's a very interesting video. I don't think the article is saying that the loops produced by the two rods given the same stroke are identical, but rather they are very similar. Any FFF guy or gal worth their salt will tell you that you need a wider arc with a slow rod (to produce a straight line path of the rod tip) in comparison to a fast rod; however, I think this video proves that this is often overstated.
