That's all I need, thanks for the help!

Lawrence you're the man, that one was not in my book anywhere. If I have a 7ft pole and am holding it from the very end the whole length of the pole will act as the radius, correct? So r=7ft?

I looked in my physics book and none of them have ω and length. The closest thing is ω=(rotational displacement/time), but that clearly is not it. The other one is L=mvr, but I'm not sure if it would help me. Those two are the closest ones so whatever you're wanting me to find, I don't think...

That isn't really the situation I need an equation for. I need one that is length dependent. Think of a catapult, I need an equation that would say the longer the arm the greater the velocity of the projectile. Except in this case the arm is the fishing pole and the projectile is a lure.

Yes, the lure is being cast. My original equation that I used for my rough draft was: rotational inertia= (1/3)(m)l^2. But that does not prove my statement at all.

Homework Statement I am writing a large paper on the physics of fishing and would like to know what equation would prove the statement that a longer fishing pole would result in a higher velocity of the lure? My physics book gives me a gamut of equations for rotational motion but I can't...
