GO TO THE LIBRARY

read all about what you are asking for here. the effort you exert in preparation for anything you do will be a direct reflection of the amount of success you will or will not enjoy. The world has enough lazy people in it, do something different with your life. That means, if you want to become a passionate and successful angler? Then know all there is to know about the specie(s) you want to catch and what to feed them in order to catch them. Where to fish what rods and reels do what what line for what specie baits, rigs everything. all the pictures, teaching diagrams and drawings about every aspect of fishing are all in the library.

Answer 3

Yes, casting is when you "toss your line out where it goes in the water", each type of reel is cast a little differently, so do some research on how to operate each type of reel. Check out the site below, it will give you a lot of tips about how to cast the different reels as well as lots of other useful tips.

Here are some other sites that I found to be useful as I was first getting started. I still tend to use a lot of them today, so they should help you a lot.

Here are some sites to help you learn how to set up different rigs and hook set ups. It's going to be different for different types of baits, and the first website I gave you will give you the best methods to use for live baits. It also varies for the different fish you are targeting as well as the terrain you are fishing over. Just keep researching and learning, and you'll be a great fisherman one day.
