A useful example
Alternating reeling and release avoids snapping the line. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Look for the relevant detail.
Watch out for this
Early hooks, missed bites and excessive tension lose a cast. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow.
