I was watching Drowning Mona last night, A movie I watched because I am Danny Deviate's fan, I like him so much after I watched his movie Twins (1988), And I loved him when I meet him in person on a movie I was working with him. Anyways in movie last night I saw how some actor carry the spinning combo, And I remember maybe it is 3rth or 4rth times I saw they doing this in movies. Isn't there someone in entier cast and crew to tell them they shouldn't hold that fishing rod that way?

 

I see it all the time. Maybe you could be a fishing consultant for Hollywood? ?

You can hold your pole in your hand any way that is comfortable.

That's probably true with a "pole", but if you fish with a rod put it together and

fish it correctly.

 

 

                                

I had 1 of those long + 15' cane poles for decades. All I needed as the sundown shift came to docks & shoreline.  Way back time.  Loads of all fish all the time.  I lived in the good years.

Big pet peeve is when they make the clicking/cranking noise when reeling a modern spinning or casting reel that wouldn't make the noise ?
