This comparison illustrates the impact of alternative angular rod accelerations.

The tackle is identical for both cases.

The alternative acceleration profiles are:

· Increasing acceleration giving a quadratically increasing angular velocity
(as for the 50ft oh cast reference, blue).

· Constant acceleration giving a linearly increasing angular velocity (red).

The maximum angular velocities and the casting arcs are equal for the two
acceleration profiles.
