Hand Line Fishing Rig

Step 5

To cast the line, let about one foot of line hang below the bottle. Hold the bottle with your hand on top with the lanyard over your wrist and the cap end pointed toward you. Stop the line at the bottom of the bottle with your index finger. With your arm at your side cast the line as if you are throwing an underhand softball pitch. When your hand is a little above parallel to the water, release the line. With practice you will be able to cast thirty feet. Watch the float and when it goes under water pull it tight to set the hook--rewind the line to reel in a big one.
