I'd like to try fishing as a hobby, but everytime I try it the line gets all tangled up behind the reel and I can't work out how to stop it. And I'm not sure what to do with the little metal bar thing on the reel either. Do you flip it up or down before or after casting. How can I be so bad at this very simple thing?

On WikiHow under the advice for baits, there's a section on using fishing rods:

I can't remember anon or I'd help! At least this seems like a simple enough google/youtube/wiki thing to get tips. But I'm the same with the compound bow I just inherited from my dad - I want to learn archery because it's a good skill for post-apocalyptic times but ho god what are all these strings what do I need to make it go...

Compound bows and modern fishing reels are perfect examples of "I'm sure you improved it over the primitive design but it's just making things worse, not better." Sigh.

It's been awhile but IIRC you flip the bar up so the line can release with ease.
Flip it down so it holds the line in place after you cast it (so the wind doesn't push your line around and the bait can remain relatively in one spot, and so you can feel the tug of a fish biting your line).

From my experience, imagine tossing the line out like throwing a ball. Hold your finger down on the line as you hold the hook end behind your back. As you fling your arm forward, release the line as your wrist is angled up in line with shoulder (I do a bit of a flick with my wrist too).
Flip the metal bar down when your fishing line is cast and the bait is under water.

As a kid, I had to practice for a few weeks/months before I learned how to do it properly.
But you still end up with fails. One time when I was in like 4th or 5th grade, I thought I did a great cast and the hook got caught up in the branch of a huge tree (like 20 ft high). I can't recall if my dad and uncles were able to help pull it back safely or if they cut the fishing line lol
