The bottom line is to keep tension on the rod.
When possible, use the rod to keep the line tight. If there is a lot of overhanging branches or it is not possible to raise the rod then you will need to finger tip the line to keep it taught at all times.
When possible, wind the handle and use some of the drag on the reel. It will sure help especially when you are using a light leader for a bigger fish.[cool]
