Tip
Tip: Balance a two-handed rod with shooting head and sink tip out of the tip, as when fishing
How to do it: Balance the rod in fishing position, with head and tip out, not with line stored on the reel
Mistake it fixes: Balancing a rod with line on the reel
Why it works: Balance in fishing position reflects actual casting weight. Balancing with line stored gives a false feel and poor casting.
When it matters most: Two-handed rods
