The energy of the D loop sits behind the tip of the rod. The mass of the line is loading the rod when you apply power to the foward stroke. To Load the rod, you must bend the rod. The energy of the rod is transferred to the line and the energy travels down the taper to deliver the fly.
Been fishing Skagit heads for years and my friend gave me a rod to use with a Scandi head on it . I was like WTF , this video was very useful. My question would be why not just put a floating tip on your Skagit ? Thanks for the video
A floating tip at the end of a skagit line creates a clunky presentation for smaller flies. The abrupt taper will turn over quickly and create a slap on the water or a recoil in the line.
How can the D loop create power into you forward cast?
