Getting comfortable with the controls
Cast and Hook; hold Reel or R; Space casts/hooks. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.
Put the rules into context
Alternating reeling and release avoids snapping the line. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Check the stated objective.
Keep this in mind
Early hooks, missed bites and excessive tension lose a cast. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use.
