Casting. Casting is easy with this video. Hold the rod in your throwing hands. Pinch the line between your index finger and the handle of the rod. Move the rod at a 45-degree angle towards the fish. Then, release your finger as soon as the rod momentum is behind you. You should then release the line when you feel that you've landed the fish.
Fishing equipment. You should start with the smallest possible fishing equipment if you are a beginner. If you're a beginner, the most important thing is to keep the gear safe and comfortable. You don't want your rod to break or get lost. Beginners should start out with smaller species, close to shore. Once you feel confident with this, you will be able to move onto larger species later.
YouTube: Watching videos. Watch videos of professional charter boat captains filling medium-sized tuna with water. These videos will show you how to properly use this technique. A rubber net is the preferred method of a professional charter boat skipper. A rubber net keeps the hook from getting into the mouth of the fish.

Statistics
- You likely have a fish hooked if the bobber moves erratically for over 5 seconds. (tailoredtackle.com)
- To substantiate this theory, Knight attempted a systematic inquiry by considering the timing of 200 'record' catches, more than 90 percent were made during a new moon (when no moon is visible). (myfwc.com)
- For most freshwater species you are most likely to target when first starting out, a reel size of 20 to 30 should be more than enough! (strikeandcatch.com)
- Coarse fishing is 100% catch and release these days. (linesonthewater.anglingtrust.net)

How To
Why would you want to use a spinning rod instead?
A Spinning Rod is used when you want to cast your lure into the water without getting out of the boat. If you don’t want take too much time returning to your boat after each cast, this is the best choice. A spinning rod will allow you to cast from any position, while maintaining control over your line. The rod has three main components; handle, butt section, and reel seat. The handle holds the rod and allows you to grip the shaft. The rod's tips are attached to the hook by the butt portion. Finally, the reel's seat holds the line and the reel. There are many options for rods. Some rods are made for fishing specific techniques, like trolling or casting. Others can be used for a variety of purposes, such as fly fishing, spin-fishing, and bait fishing.
The type and species of fish that you are trying to catch will dictate the type of rod you use. A heavy-duty rod is best if you are targeting large predatory species such as pike or bass. A lighter-weight rod might work best if you were targeting smaller species like trout or salmon. You could even get multiple rod sizes to match the size of the fish that you wish to catch.
Spinning rods aren't just for freshwater fishing. They are used extensively for saltwater fishing. Saltwater spinning reels are typically heavier than freshwater rods. This is because saltwater requires stronger materials to withstand saltwater. In addition, saltwater spinners usually feature a larger diameter rod with a shorter length. This allows them to cast further distances. A spinning rod is not the best choice for saltwater fishing. First, unlike freshwater spinning rods, saltwater ones do not come with reels. Instead, you must purchase one separately. Secondly, they are typically quite expensive. A spinning rod is an option if you like to catch bigger fish.
Spin fishing refers to angling where a spin fisherman uses a spinning reel to cast a weighted bait into the water. When the lure moves through the water it turns around its weighted center point. This causes the lure and fish to move around in the water erratically, making it harder for them to identify the lure. Fish may mistakenly consider the lure food and begin eating it. The lure will therefore attract more fish. The lure will then attract more fish to the angler's reel. Once the lure is pulled, the fisherman can keep going until he catches the desired number of fish.
