Your formula and your method can be simplified to do just that – just count the number of revolutions in the case of each rod compared. Most revolutions – probably the longest cast. It will work, no need for the formula, and certainly is a different story, because now you are assessing relative casting distances.

For those who want to know how far their rod, reel, line, and lure combination casts, I stay uncorrected that your original formula and method will overestimate the casting distance on water in feet or any other units for the reasons I outlined earlier.
