                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[The amount of drag created by the friction from  line going through the guides is rather small compared to the drag created by person and there gear (fishing system) if fished correctly. There are four major factors in a fishing system the person, reel, rod, and line and there importance in that order.  because the factors in this system change from person to person its imposable for there to be an absolute for every body but not for any one person. If all these factors are applied correctly, one being the way to maximize the power delivered by a fisherman is by using the most <b> efficient</b> bend of the rod (long range is the style used on the beach), than the result is the maximum amount of drag applied on a fish by that person. the key in <b>sharkinmiami's</b> argument is efficiency. I think <b>sharkinmiami</b>  was trying to say this in a simpler way and i agree with him and his mentor completely?  <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_biggrin.gif" alt=":D" title="Very Happy" />  <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_biggrin.gif" alt=":D" title="Very Happy" />  <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_biggrin.gif" alt=":D" title="Very Happy" />]]></content:encoded>

 a roller gives more surface area for the line to resist... picture the pressure between your line rolling smoothly on a ball (such as a roller tip would create) vs. your line running on a non-moving steel or ceramic rim. But a non-functioning roller would probably put up more force  <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_lol.gif" alt=":lol:" title="Laughing" /> . I have yet to test out the rod bend drag pressure theories, but I do believe it's a completely different story depending on factors such as conventional or spinning rod and such as stiffness of the rods being tested. I believe a noodle of a lamiglas will pull out different numbers than an unlimited bridge crane... also rod lengths should be a factor. How high the line is off the blank, how far the guides are spaced, the factors are endless, this experiment has too many dependent factors for any individual to be right.  <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_lol.gif" alt=":lol:" title="Laughing" /></blockquote>
X2, Line could make a big difference in the numbers too. Diameter, and how smooth it is. Lots of differences to factor in. Braid would create different numbers than smooth mono. Its all more or less friction.]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Sorry but I don't believe that the farther you place the rod forward the heavier the drag. Ive done this before and when you apply extreme bend to a rod in the way of the tuna fisherman the drag can increase by as much as 20%. Its simple math actually, the more force applied to the guides the more resistance, the higher resistance means the more pressure you are putting on the fish, therefore increasing the drag pressure. Not to meantion ive tested this myself with a big old scale.]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[I was going to post a new topic, but it relates to this one. When using the longer 9 and 10 foot rods on the beach, and sticking the butt into the sand and sitting down with a shouler harness, has any body tried the bent butt? It seems to me that a bent butt would maintain a better line/rod angle. I have only used short stand up rods using a bucket harness, so I have no experience with the long rods, but, in the process of building a 10ft. to try the sit down technique. So what say you?

Thanks,
Sarge]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Strange..

Its easier to hold the rod when its lower, but the line has more give if it doesnt go through the guides at a sharper angle. Like a pulley....a pulley works well if the line is pulled greater than an angle more than 45 degrees. 

For example; if you tie a 100ft rope around a Great Dane and let him take off running, he's going to pull pretty hard and you'll have a tough time hanging on to the end. But if that dog turns a corner, and the rope starts rubbing a corner of a building, that dog will have problems keeping the same speed and wear out quicker.

The drag in a spool is all about friction. Same with the line, if it goes through the guides at a sharp angle, it creates more friction, which means its more difficult for a fish to run.]]></content:encoded>
