This is Part 1 of 5 Part Series associated to improving your Rod, Reel, and Fish Handling Skills…
In this production, I cover:
- The importance of ensuring that a bass lure fishing rod ‘BALANCES’ in the hand.
- HOW to ascertain the above.
- How and WHY the ‘FEEL’ enabled by the above plays a significant part in controlling and, ultimately, ‘WORKING’ the lures.
- WHERE to place your hand and fingers to obtain optimum CONTROL of the rod.
- A couple of misconceptions are challenged…
- As always, there is a great deal of drone footage highlighting the beautiful south Devon coastline, and Bertie the Border Terrier also makes a few guest appearances…
In the subsequent parts to series I cover:
- Part 2 – How to cast lures (hand and finger positions).
- Part 3 – Line Management (associated to the reel to mitigate the risk of wind knots).
- Part 4 – Landing Bass (drag settings, getting bass in with different environments and sea states)
- Part 5 – How to unhook, hold, and ultimately, release bass.
I welcome your comments and feedback in relation to this video, and indeed, what you have seen on the channel, plus what you’d like to see more of…
