How to Reel a fishing rod

In this how-to video, you will learn how to reel a fishing rod. The most common mistake with people using spinning reels is that they are using it upside down and backwards. The correct way is making sure the spinning reel is facing downward and you are reeling forward. With a conventional reel, the reel should be facing up. The crank should be going forward. Never crank the reel backwards. Make sure the non reeling hand above the reel to help give you torque in order to fight a big fish. With a spinning reel, have your hand in-between the reel set with the pinky and ring finger. This will allow you to use the rod with one hand. By viewing this video, you will learn how to properly reel using various types of fishing rods.
