This type of fly sinks, so you should cast it at high speeds. If a cobia swoops in and strikes the fly the hook will likely be cut. Next, you can practice sight-fishing to catch cobia.
To begin, dump the entire flyline into your backing. You can let the line sink and then you can quickly remove it again. Using a sinking line can help you catch more cobia than you might otherwise. It is also possible to use weighted flies. If sight casting is difficult, you can also use a sinking line and a weighted fly. Remember, you need to have a ready fly rod for hungry cobia.

This streamer is tied on an 2/0 hook that will drive the fly home.

FAQ
What type of gear are you going to need for fishing?
A rod and reel, line, hooks (bait), tackle box, and snacks. If you want to catch fish, you should know how to cast, rig up a hook, and use a bobber. Remember to be patient and wait for the right moment before you strike.
How far away should I stand while fishing?
The farther you stand from the shore, the more likely you are to catch fish. This also increases your chances of getting wet.
To fish, you will need a Bobber
Yes. You use a bobber to prevent the bait from moving when you are fishing. The bobber consists of two parts: the line and the float. Casting a lure requires that you attach the hook at the end of your line. Next, you need to cast the line out and let go. If you don't use a bobber, the lure may sink into the water, which makes it difficult for the fish to bite.

How To
How to cast a fishing rod perfectly
Casting a fishing pole requires that you use your wrist to guide the rod's handle toward the water. The rod should be held at a slight angle from the body so that the line is parallel to the ground. The rod should be moved forward with the tip perpendicular towards the water surface. Fish won't bite if the rod's tip touches the surface of the water before it reaches the bottom. This technique can help increase the distance between your rod tip and the water's surface.
If you don't feel comfortable casting a rod yet, here are some tips to make it easier.
The first thing you should do is to hold the rod at your chest. By doing this, the rod will move in the right direction and you won't have to bend.
Second, when casting a heavy rod, you may want to set up a tripod on the shoreline or on a rock ledge. This will allow you to secure the rod while still holding the reel.
Third, consider getting a small reel over a more expensive one. A cheap spinning reel can be used to cast longer distances, and it will also help you with your hand-eye coordination.
A fourth option is to purchase a fishing rod holder. These holders are designed to keep the rod upright and hold it securely. They are easy to store after use and protect the rod against damage.
Fifth, practice casting until the motion becomes natural. Casting a fishing pole takes practice.
Sixth, patience will be your key to successful fishing. Wait for the right time to strike, then work hard to catch the fish.
