So You Think You Can Cast?

Monday, February 27th, 2012

It is really quite amazing that I see even the Televison Show

Hosts misusing their fishing rods!

Some of them don’t hold their rods properly, they don’t cast correctly or set their hooks effectively! I’s rather disgusting to watch! When I was the guest host on the Ultimate Fishing Show no one ever approached me to point out my flaws! That tells me I was doing something Right!

On a Spinning Rod you will have to determine the rod and reel are in balance!

With Casting it’s a matter of less weight overall on this combo! Both of these efforts will effectively reduce Rod Fatigue!

CASTING: To properly cast any fishing rod, you must “Utilize the Tip Action to optimize on your casting distances and accuracy.

To do this, you must be able to hit your target, simply by aiming the tip and flicking your wrist, timing the release at 1:00!

Proper hand position when attempting to cast a Spinning Rod is called, the two finger split! Split your middle finger and your ring finger by placing the reel foot between your fingers, then close your hand over the reel seat around the rod handle.

When casting, don’t involve the bottom end of the rod handle and cast with your shoulder and your arms, you will create the biggest birds nest you’ll ever see.

Try using the tip action of the rod after you set the casting drag on your reel! Aim and gently toss your bait to your target! No Backlash here!

Now to set your hook, it takes timing and the correct direction of the hook set and  rod sweep! The Key is, confirming the strike and knowing where the fish is! To implement the Hook Set be sure to take up as much slack line as possible! Dropping your rod tip very close to the water surface and then sweep straight upwards this automatically engages  the parabolic’s in the backbone and without giving any slack back to the fish, maintain constant pressure while retrieving your fish!

Knowing these points will help you improve as an angler, in less time then imaginable!

Good Luck with it! See you on the water!
