Notaro, if the water is flat and clean, keep your tip down. But if the water is rough or dirty, keep your tip up.. Also if you are casting into the wind, it helps to keep the tip down because it keeps the line out of the wind, so you can feel the bump as soon as it happenes and it also makes it easier to set the hook. If you have the tip up and its windy, the line will make a 'U' shape in the wind and when you do have a fish hit yoru offering, you might not even know it to set the hook because there is so much slack in the line. I also like to sidecast when casting into the wind so the lure goes straight out, and not up and down..
