Wow this is interesting!I fish with a 10'6''noodle rod so I am trying to picture holding my rod low.I don't always use light line depends on what and when.Alot of the time I use super braids.I guess I turn it sideways down low if I think a steely's going to jump but most of the time I have the rod up.When you say you are holding the rod low do you mean you are pointing the rod more at the fish?I ask this because think I stand to learn some thing here.I don't quite get the idea of holding the rod low???
