Use the rod to pull the fish towards you and reel when bringing the rod down, try not using the reel handle to pull the fish in.
Try lifting the rod without even having your hand on the handle to get used to not using the handle for leverage.

I just want a bigger knob to hold onto. I don't like the dinky little EVA paddle the reel has.
