Different fishing conditions, as well as a variety of tackle, suggest the use of different casting methods for fishing. With a little practice, you can master these methods and use them later on fishing.

Instructions
Step 1
Choose a spot where you can practice casting techniques. There should be no bushes, snags and visible obstacles for the fishing rod. Consider the weather as well - strong winds and rain are also an obstacle to learning how to cast your fishing rod.
Step 2
Open the line organizer, hang the line about a meter, grab the line with the index finger of your working hand and make several movements with this finger, as if you were determining the weight of the rig. This is how you check the free play of the line in the rings. If there is one, feel free to cast it. If the line has no free play, be sure to check what happened. As a rule, this means that the line is overlapped behind the "tulip" (the last ring on the rod).
Step 3
Choose a specific target on the pond and try to hit it using one of the methods described below. Close casting (15-20m) can be done with one hand, long cast with two. You need to learn how to release the line from your finger in time, and just before the bait splash down, slow down the reel with your index finger. You can do without slowing down, but then the nozzle will more often cling to the sinkers.
Step 4
Try the longest throw - overhead throw. Take the rod vertically in front of you. Holding the line with your finger, the working arm, slightly bent at the elbow, is at head level. The other hand holds the rod at belly level. Swing the rod slightly behind your back, make a sharp cast. Release the line when the rod is straightened.
Step 5
Use "side casting" when fishing in the current, with a crosswind or other obstacles. The rod is usually held with one hand, swinging from the side.
Step 6
Practice also performing "catapult throw", or "throw from under the arm." It is used for obstructions from above, for example, when branches are overhanging, or when the nozzle needs to lie very softly. For such a cast, a fishing rod is held in one hand, and a scaffold with a hook in the other. The line in this position pulls the rod, bending it. Keep the rod parallel to the water. The bait is gently pulled towards itself and released abruptly, using the spring properties of the rod. At this point, the rod rises slightly.
