You must first know how to cast a fish rod. To ensure that the rod is parallel to ground, it should be held at an angle. Move the rod forward by keeping the rod's tip perpendicular the water. If the tip of the rod touches the water's surface, fish won’t bite. 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.
The first thing you should do is to hold the rod at your chest. You will be able to easily control the rod’s direction without having your back bent.
The tripod may be set up on the shoreline and/or on a rock edge to aid in casting a heavy-duty rod. You'll be able rest your rod securely and still have control of the reel.
Third, you might consider buying a smaller reel as an alternative to a larger one. A spinning reel that is inexpensive will enable you to cast further distances and improve your hand-eye coordination.
A fishing pole holder is another option. These holders can hold your rod securely while keeping it upright. They're easy to store away after use and protect the rod from getting damaged.
Fifth, practice casting until your muscles get used to it. Casting a fish rod is a skill that takes time.
Sixth, patience will be your key to successful fishing. You need to wait until the right moment strikes and then work hard for the fish.
