I'm looking into buying a fishing rod/reel combo. What is a good brand to get without spending a ton of money
Also, is there a kind of rod/reel that can be used for most types of fishing?
Check a tackle store such as BassProShops, Cabellas, Academy, Gander Mountain, Wal-Mart. If you are starting out I would suggest a spin-cast outfit to start with. Spend as much as you can afford because the quality of your equipment will affect your success. If you buy something cheap and you are constantly pulling out tangles or losing lures because of cheap equipment you will quickly becomed turned off to this sport. Like I said, buy the best equipment you can afford and your fishing trips will be more productive and pleasurable. If you go to a place like BPS or Cabella's the people there will be happy to help you make a selection on your first rig. And don't give up..........this is a sport that gives back as much as you put into it. You can go out with a carton of worms and catch panfish all day long or eventually invest in more and more tackle to chase black bass. There are days when I go out after black bass and only get a couple of bites but like the saying goes "a bad day fishing is better than a good day at work". Do not become discouraged.......stay with it........and above all, always be ready , because when you least expect it you will get a bite and the one you miss could be the fish of a lifetime. Good luck and tight lines
