5WT
COMBINATION ACCURACY AND DISTANCE EV
ENT
1.
GENERAL
The 5wt Combination event consists of accuracy and distance casting with a 5
-
weight line. The accuracy and
distance parts may be cast as separate event(s) according to the following rules and regulations.
2.
EQUIPMENT
A)
Rod
–
Rod l
ength shall not exceed nine feet (9’) overall. A measurement tolerance of one inch (1”) shall
be permitted. Only one rod may be used during the course of the event unless the judge declares a
damaged rod as unusable.
B)
Reel
–
Unrestric
ted, must be attached to the rod for all scoring casts. The line and leader and any backing
used to compete in the event must fit completely onto the reel and must be carried on the reel prior to the event.
C)
Line
–
The line shall be a floating weight
-
forwa
rd line that meets the following specifications:
i)
Length
–
The first eighty feet (80’) of the base fly line must be one piece
–
without any splices.
ii)
Weight
–
The mass of the first forty feet (40’) of fly line plus the leader shall not exceed 12.50 grams
(193 grains).
iii)
Running line
–
All line after the head of the fly line is considered running line. Additional level
running line may be added to the base line in any practical way. All running line must have a diameter
of a least 0.031” and at most 0.037”.
iv)
Вся линия после главы ловкой линии - рассматриваемая текущая линия. Дополнительный уровень
текущая линия, возможно, добавлена базовой линии в любом практическом пути. Вся текущая линия должна иметь диаметр
из наименьшего 0.031 и в большинстве 0.037 -0,7874 мм или 0,9398 мм
He
ad
–
The entire part of the fly line in front of the running line
–
including all tapers and tip section
–
is considered the head of the fly line. The head of the fly line must be 35’ to 42’ long, i.e. the diameter
of the level running line must be reache
d no less than 35’ and no more than 42’ from the tip of the fly
line. The head length requirement shall be met without stretching.
v)
Specific gravity
–
The head and all parts of the running line must be of floating material.
D)
Leader
-
Shall be constructed of
monofilament with a minimum of 7'
and a maximum of 9 1/2'
in length
with a maximum tippet diameter of .009" (including any knots) and minimum tippet length of 18". The
length of the leader is measured from the tip of the fly line to the eye of the fly.
E)
F
ly
–
A single tournament dry fly with hackle not less than
three
-
fourth inch (3/4") and not more than one
(1) inch in diameter
may be attached to the leader at the tip end. An attached or lost fly may be replaced at
any time with a fly approved by the jud
ge.
3. COURSE
A) Accuracy
–
A square casting box four feet (4’) on each side and five (5) targets shall constitute the course.
The course may be laid out on any suitable casting surface such as water, grass, or carpet. The casting box
may be at the sam
e level as the targets and, if elevated, should not be higher than 18”. Each target consists
of two concentric rings with outer diameters of thirty inches (30”) and fifty
-
four inches (54”). The ring
cross section shall be no more than 1.5”. The outer ri
ng must not
have a cross section larger than the inner ring. Each target shall be secured in place so that the total
movement for any reason will not exceed one (1) foot in any direction. The first target shall be centered in
front of the casting box a
t a distance of 20’
-
25’. The second target
–
called the obstacle target
-
shall be
located directly behind and touching the first target. The third and fourth targets shall be at a distance of
35’
-
40’ and 45’
-
50’, respectively. The fifth target
–
called
the bonus target
-
shall be at a distance of 60’
-
80’, depending on the level of the competition.
B) Distance
–
The casting box used for distance has the same dimensions as the box for accuracy. If accuracy
and distance are cast as a combination, one and
the same box is used for both. The distance will be
measured along a real or imagined centerline extending perpendicularly from the front edge of the casting
box. The space available for landing the fly
–
the casting lane
–
must extend at least five feet
(5’) to each
side of that centerline. Lines perpendicular to the centerline, or other means that do not obstruct the casting
nor the retrieval of line, may be used to mark certain distances and to determine the position of the fly to
the nearest foot.
4.
TIME
A)
General
–
Each caster shall be allotted time for preparing for the event and time for casting the event.
B)
Preparation time
–
Preparation time starts when the judge has called up the caster and declared the casting
box as “open”. The caster may use p
rep time to strip line off the reel and arrange it on the ground in any
practical way
–
with or without assistance. Preparation time ends when one (1) minute expires or the caster
declares readiness for start, whichever occurs first.
C)
Casting time
–
Th
e time allotted for casting the 5wt combination shall be five (5) minutes. If accuracy is
cast as a separate event, the allotted time shall be three (3) minutes.
If distance is cast as a separate event,
the allotted time shall be three (3) minutes.
The
following procedure shall be used to start the casting time.
When the caster appears to be ready for the event, but not later than fifty seconds after the beginning of
prep time, the judge shall ask: “Caster ready?
” Upon a positive reply from the caster
or when one minute
Cмотрим последнюю строку и видим ,что 5 классом кидают вес 7 класса!!!!!!!!
И все это на тонюсеньком раннинге.
Тогда если взять удилище 7-го класса то вес "головы"-пули ого-го сколько будет.
Поэтому говорю, что это почти спиннинг, просто леска разматывается не посредственно не с катушки, а с земли.
, делай стоп по старинке в зените. Скорость шнура должна быть такой, чтобы шнур просился подать на зад, рука держащая шнур подает его до первого кольца, а при движении в перед идет в низ с ускорением и чуть позже удилище в перед.Тогда зарядишь бланк по полной, В точке стопа, бланк должен зарядиться энергией ,чтобы при движении бланка в перед ,отдать эту запасенную энергию шнуру. Если удается поймать эти моменты то энергии складываются и творят чудеса. Не правильно думать ,что скорость шнура при забросе одинаковая или растет, это космос...... если к шнуру относится как к целому то это не верно, каждый метр шнура работает
В штиль дальность забросов у всех падает из-за парусности шнура. Даже маленькое дуновение бокового ветерка прибавит вам несколько метров к забросу
