Oh. Nope, not building a device. Just trying to build better rods. There is an ongoing argument within the custom rod building community as to whether it's advantageous to add weight to the butt of a tip heavy rod in order to balance it. The opponents say any weight added will increase the...
Movement of the rod tip is a visual clue but there is water movement, wind, hand shake, etc. that will also cause tip movement. Night fishing also eliminates that visual clue. Most strikes are a short "bump" you would feel through the rod that is more easily differentiated from the other...
Can one correlate the effects of a change in weight to the transmission of vibrations (fish strike) through a fishing rod?
I'm not an engineer. I don't know what equations may apply. I'm not even certain I'm describing the question correctly. I'd appretiate any assistance.
