How To
How to Perfectly Cast a Fishing Rod
The first thing you must know when casting a fishing rod is to use your wrist to move the rod's handle smoothly towards the water. The rod should be held slightly away from the body so that it is parallel to the ground. Move the rod forward by keeping the rod's tip perpendicular the water. The fish won't eat if the tip touches water's surface sooner than the line reaches bottom. This technique allows you to increase the distance from the tip of your rod to the water's surface.
Here are some tips for casting a rod if you're not confident yet.
Hold the rod as close as you can to your chest. This will allow you to control the rod's movement without having to bend.
Second, when casting a heavy rod, you may want to set up a tripod on the shoreline or on a rock ledge. This will allow you secure your rod and reel while keeping it in place.
You might also consider purchasing a small reel rather than an expensive one. A cheaper spinning reel will let you cast farther distances and help you improve your hand-eye coordination.
Fourth, you might also consider buying a fishing pole holder. These holders are designed to hold the rod firmly while keeping it upright. These holders are easy to store and protect your rod from damage.
Fifth, practice your casting technique until you feel comfortable with the motion. Casting a fishing line takes practice.
Sixth, patience is the key to successful fishing. You need to wait until the right moment strikes and then work hard for the fish.
