"ALVIN DEDEAUX: All right. The technique for stripping the line is basically tucking it under your finger here. This is the same finger we're using to anchor it when we're casting, whether it's index finger here or whether it's under this finger here, if you're using the index finger on top. Some people will use two fingers here. Just the trick is to make sure you can clamp down on it if you need to like if you're--you have a fish and you want to keep that fish from running. Or if you're casting, you want to be able to clamp down--I usually just use one finger. It's easier for me. And pull from behind your finger. It's a lot simpler. We'll see a lot of times, beginners will grab the line here, pull it in, grab it, grab the line there, pull it in. And every time you do that, you got to let go of the line. If you just tuck it under your finger right after you've finished with the cast and pull from right here, you've always got the line under control with your finger here and then you can strip it in with the other hand. That way, you never lose control of your line. First thing, tuck it under, the other grip or two fingers."
