# Configuring Rod Position

After you finishing creating your fisher character, the rod will probably stand like this on his hand:

#### To configure the hand position follow these steps:

1. Make sure that the handle tool is set to **Global**, not Local, this will make your life way easier.

3. When the rod is correctly positioned in the hand, Go to the fishing rod script under General -> Hand & Holster -> Right Hand Offset, copy the position from the transform and paste on the offset, copy the Euler Agles and paste on the rotation. Now Right Click on the Right Hand Offset and copy it.

4. Copy the Right Hand Offset, exit play mode, paste back the Right Hand Offset. Now you enter on the playmode again and the fishing rod will be on the correct position.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://sunfish-studios.gitbook.io/main/getting-started/creating-a-fisher-character/configuring-rod-position.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
