Well I did create a decent forum that folk actually post on.  :lol:

Malcolm,

So now you can have the same rod switching from super soft to super super stiff for different applications.

If the same technology will telescopically resize it from wee burn size, up to, and including, drifting boat size, I'll have one

Strangely enough I was thinking along those very lines myself. I would however replace the sub-miniature 3-way mercury switch with a tri-axial accelerometer. By the simple addition of an embedded 16 bit microcontoller real time analysis of many casting faults would  be possible. In addition a straightforward mathematical transform could shift rod  resonant frequency measurements into the time domain taking into account  line loading and casting arc. This data could then be compared against a table  of ideal casting arcs, stops and loading values prompting  the caster with a series of  electric shocks or dispensing  peanut rewards much in the same way as one would train monkeys. ***

There you go, why bother paying an advertising copy-writer hunners of puns when you can copy and paste from a website, delete the nouns and insert your own......
I do love the "anywhere, at any price"!

Almost.
Digital selection of required flexibility, line weight and length, each option has, say 42 increments, et voila.
