I finally got some spare cash saved up and I headed over to Bass Pro Shop, as I figure they must know what they are talking about there. So I start talking to 1 sales guy and flat out tell him I am a newbie in need of a new rod/reel, I would like to spend less than $200 for a Salmon/Steelhead setup what do you recommend. So I then got asked more questions than I could even answer, and then said I am just looking for something universal, it doesnt need to be the best but I dont want junk I just want a good entry level setup that I can catch fish with an not be the laughing stock if people see what I am fishing with (you know having the appropriate equipment for what I am fishing for). I was then told by multipul sales men that its just not possible that each rod and reel are specific for a type of fishing. I said I just want a rod I can take to the river and catch some fish with, and again I got a well it depends on the river, conditions, trees, wind, moon placement, planets aligment, if you shaved that day or not ect ect ect...
That begin said can you guys help me out, I am sure there had to be a "universal setup", I understand there are certain poles for certain conditions, but really?
I just want to start fishing, and I have $200 to spend, can anyone give me pointers on rod length, type of rod for poundage and such?? I know I also want to go with a spinning reel.
Also what would be my best bet for prices? I seem to have alot of stores around me selling fishing gear. Bass Pro Shop, Sportco, Walmart, Big 5, Sportsmans Warehouse, Dicks, Cabellas, and I am sure there are a few others I am missing.
Just go to biMart and pickup a rod and reel combo medium action about 8 ft. long. Then go out and have fun
