Hey all,
I have built a few spey rods now and as I was looking for another project I thought a dedicated shooting head rod taper might be fun. After reading a little bit about the whole skandi-underhand casting style, my question is this: Should the balance point on a underhand rod be located much further back than a normal rod? I don't know much about the physics of these things but it would seem that since you are moving the lever more with the bottom hand you would want the balance point to be closer to if not on the bottom hand. Please let me know if I am way off on this one.
Best,
