Tip: Understand the rod-to-line angle and open it for distance
How to do it: For longer casts, increase the angle between rod and line to increase rod load, rather than forcing more power
Mistake it fixes: Ignoring the critical angle between rod and line
Why it works: Rod load depends on angle as well as speed. A larger angle gives the rod more bend and therefore more stored energy for distance.
When it matters most: Distance casting
