Use the rod’s lower section and the reel drag together to apply steady pressure. When fighting a powerful fish close to the boat, keep the rod angle controlled and follow the fish around the bow or stern when necessary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBefore fishing, make sure all three sections are fully seated and aligned.
