Lure fishing and fly-fishing have been positioned as sports deliberately different from the traditional Japanese fishing-style. In the case of fly-fishing, casting is the element which anglers must master in order to cast a fly, done so by using the weight of a line. This study uses experimental and computational analysis to investigate the dynamic behavior of a fly line. Fly-fishing constitutes various elements, but the importance that casting holds is extremely large. Fling speed, the casting process and the loop shape of the line while in flight are important for the proper presentation of flies. Moreover, the shape of a fly line is also important for a long cast or controlled cast. However, it is difficult to grasp the phenomenon or to make a numerical model because a fly line is an object of flexible string. Therefore, the most suitable casting method will be clarified from the viewpoint of sports engineering and human dynamics. In addition, measuring an angler performing movements with a flexible object such as a rod or a line is difficult. So establishing a method to measure the dynamic behavior precisely is also one of the purposes of this study. For the past study, motion of wrist and upper arm had been fixed to make a simple numerical model. However, upper arm, forearm and wrist move in the actual fishing field. In this paper, three input numerical model considering arm motion is established.
