A Palm application immediately analyzes the casting signature by breaking it down into its major parts.

How the rod rotates, acceleration, speed, deceleration largely determine the quality of a cast.

The signal from the rate gyro is transferred via cable to a small data collection box that is held or clipped to the caster or instructor.

The proprietary software installed on the Palm crunches the data, turning it into a casting signature that reveals many things about rod rotation.

In 2005, Noel Perkins won the ispo-TUM Academic Challenge Award for the Fly Casting Analyzer.
