RODS REELS
Probably the most important piece of equipment you’ll
need, so do your research and find one that best suits you.
A rod about eight feet in length is usually good for a be-
ginner as it’s a fairly ‘all-purpose’ size, but if you’re doing
beach or rick fishing, you’ll need a longer one - check the
10-12 foot range. As a beginner, you’ll want to learn how to
‘feel the fish’ so get a rod that is sensitive enough to teach
you the different triggers, rather than something cheap
and nasty that will leave you wondering why you can’t
catch a fish - and may turn you off the sport all together! The most common reel for beginners and experi-
ences fishermen is the spinning reel. Imagine it as
a handheld eggbeater, the spinning reel is easy to
use and does everything you need it to. The size and
weight should be paired to the rod, and also yourself.
