Something to practise
Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules. Use the example to check your reasoning.

See how the rules apply
Alternating reeling and release avoids snapping the line. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Keep the game’s format in mind.
A useful caution
Early hooks, missed bites and excessive tension lose a cast. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
