Ryan G makes a very good point when using a telescoping fishing rod. It's very easy to get your line wrapped around the rod unintentionally.
Other than that you should check to see that your line is wound properly onto the spool and not tangled onto interior working parts. This happens often on spin-cast reels that are spooled with too much line.
When reeling in your line keep a slight pressure on it by holding it between your fingers. It helps the line to spool evenly and helps detect light bites.
Best of luck.

SOUNDS LIKE YOU MUST HAVE CHEAP LINE ON IT .
TELESCOPIC RODS ARE NOT THE BEST .

The pencil in the process the spool component is for casting reels. do no longer try this with a spinning reel, that is going to reason it to tangle every time. the splendid way is to place the filler spool on the floor in front of you, making particular the line comes off it in a COUNTERCLOCKWISE course. If it starts off coming off interior the incorrect course, only turn the spool over. shop rigidity on the line along with your arms as you wind it onto the spool. i've got observed that particular varieties of line have a tendency to tangle worse than others. A limp monofilament, which contain Berkley Trilene XL, has a tendency to have very low "memory" and consequently has a tendency to solid a lot greater effective on spinning reels. do no longer even think of approximately something like fluorocarbon for a important line, that is terrible. the recommendation on no longer overfilling the spool is genuine. Of each and all the spinning reels i've got owned, and that i've got owned many, purely 2 ever gave me a line twist issue. They have been the two the comparable sort, that is yet another call for the appropriate of a mountain.

It sounds like that you may simply have not put the line through the bail arm correctly. I remember when I was 12, trying to work out why I couldn't cast in just the same way. Easiest way to go about it is open the bail arm (that's the bit of wire at the front of the real) pull out as much line as you need then close the bail arm and it will be automatically correct.

Depends what sort of fishing you were doing, if you were float fishing it's not designed to go very far. and you re better off kind of flicking it rather than an over head cast
If you were say fishing with a feeder which is filled with bait then you can launch that across the lake no problem!
email me if you want more help

There are pretty good beginners outfits for about 30 or 40 quid,
you could buy a dvd for beginners , but make sure the reel is
correctly filled, try to relax , try to put a shorter line out well
than to put a longer line that lands like a birds nest.
There are plenty on line shops , or in the fishing magazines
better still try new gear out for yourself , it needn't be to
expensive. Tight lines .

depends on the reel bait caster push the button while keeping tension on the line with your thumb then cast loosening the tension of your thumb. with a spinning reel flip the bail holding the line with your pointer finger as you cast let your finger go. with a push button real do the same as a bait caster but remove your finger from the button while bringing the rod down to the direction of the cast.

Make sure you haven't wrapped the line around the rod when you were putting the line through the eyes.
When you are ready to cast let out about a foot or so of line and bring the rod backwards so that it is directly behind you With your index finger pull the line so that it is against the rod then release the bail arm.You will now feel the weight of your hook length pulling against the line under your index finger, with one smooth action bring the rod forward over your head and release the line from under you index finger and bingo.
Like all things practise makes perfect so don't give up soon you will be wondering what all the fuss was about.

If u were sea fishing and you were using a multiplyer reel then thats just not the type of reel for beginners. if you were using a fixed spool reel no problems. hold the line with your finger, flick the bay alarm off flick the flick the rod releasing the line at the end of the flick. put the bay alarm on and there ya go.
