Correct Rod Angle For Fighting Fish
The rod’s power lies in the butt, not the tip!
A good fisherman will keep the rod tip no higher than 45 degrees. Jamming the rod butt into your stomach or gimbal belt and leveraging with both hands, you can increase the fighting pressure.
With the low rod angle, the bend is in the rod’s thick butt section. It doesn’t take much resistance to bend a rod tip. There is a reason rods are tapered toward the tip. A flexible tip also contributes to rod sensitivity, enabling the angler to detect a subtle bite. More rods are broken from fighting fish with a high rod angle than for any other reason.
