Great question, bet it spurs some debate.
“Just simply can the caster affect the cast after the stop has formed the loop? “
The stop does not form a loop, rotation does. A stop simply allows the rod to straighten. People may assume the stop forms a loop given that the line will then travel ahead of the rod tip. However, loop formation occurs by how much we rotate regardless of how we rotate (wrist, elbow, shoulder, hips, etc.)
The caster can affect the loop shape during the rotational portion of the cast and before it passes the rod tip. After it passes the rod tip, a loop has formed. Therefore, any movement of the rod tip after the loop has passed it is an aerial mend that principally affects the rod leg portion of the fly line.
Yes, a caster can affect the loop after the stop. But false that a caster can affect the cast after the loop is formed. Because, it's an aerial mend at that point.
