How to Cast a Fishing Rod Easily
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 at a slight angle from the body so that the line is parallel to the ground. Keep the rod's tip parallel to the water when you move it forward.
