Z's Bass Fishing Basics For Beginners
Some basics for fishing for bass.........
1. Buy a pole that is comfortable in size for your needs.
2. Then buy between an 8 and 16 pund test line.
3. Buy bass hooks that have barbs and are about 1 1/2 inches.
4. Buy some plastic worms...favored worms are Motoroil Chartruese.
5. Tying your first knot:
A. Tie a knot around the reel with the first inch of your line.
B. Thread the line through the eye holes with about 4 feet of line at the end of the pole.
C. Take one of your hooks thread the line through the hole at the top.
D. Then pull until there is about 6 inches of line on the other side of the hole.
E. Then twist and count until you get to ten twists.
F. Put the remaining line through the bottom hole and then put that line through the hole you just made and pull till it's tight.
G. Then take one of the plastic worms out of the bag and grab it at the top and put the hook in the top and make it come out when the hook bends where it is flat. Then pull it till the end of the hook comes out and stick the point of the hook into the worms chest.
6. Casting:
A. Grab the line with your pointing finger and open the bail.
B. Try the sidearm cast frist. Put the poll facing your right. Thrust your poll forward while you let go of the line. The overhand cast is the same but you put the poll over your head first.
7. Retrieve:
A. Reel in your slack and pull to your side. If you feel a bump, you've got a Fish!! If not just keep casting and keep trying.
8. Catching A Fish:
A. If you feel that BuMp, reel in your slack and pull as hard as you can to the side.
B. Reel like your life depended on it..... If you lose the fish...don't worry you'll get him next time.
C. If you do get him in....grab him by the lip and wherever the hook is...grab it and get it out by forcing it out the opposite way it is in the fish.
Now you are an expierenced fisherman!!!!!!!!
