Proper Way to Grasp Rod Note thumb extended along rod; line may be " pinched " to rod as shown when sufficient line is out; otherwise it is held in the left hand.
Beginning of Back Cast End of Forward Cast the back cast, the pause and the forward cast. Let us consider them one at a time. The Back Cast The novice caster should first assume a natural, easy position, and not a stiff pose. The rod, with thumb extended, should be pointed straight ahead, being held a little above parallel with the water and about fifteen feet of line should be lying stretched out straight in front. With the left hand pull a little line from the reel, between the reel and the first guide and this should be held in the left hand at all times so that the cast can be lengthened when desired and to give the angler instant control over a hooked fish. Now take in the slack of the extended line by pulling a little of it back through the guides and then start the back cast. |
