| Greetings.
|
| I recently started fishing, and I'm definitely hooked!
|
| I have several questions that hopefully the "pro's"(amateur,
| intermediate and advanced alike) on this group can help
|
| me with.
|
| I have read that you need to have several rods, for different
| situations. What are those types of situations and
|
| what rods should be used? The budget is tight, so that you know, I
| will be fishing in rivers, ponds and
|
| sal****er(mainly from shore).
|
| I have also read that you can go with lots of equipment and with very
| light equipment. I would like to go as light
|
| as possible, but yet have everything I might need for the kind of
| fishing I will be doing most, which as I mentioned
|
| earlier are, rivers, ponds and sal****er. Perhaps have two tackle
| boxes, one large to leave in the car, and a small
|
| one to have the essentials?
|
| Regarding hooks, lures, monofilament, weights and such, which sizes/
| strength do you recommend?
|
| Is it possible to buy several reel spools to have with different
| monofilaments? If so, how can I be sure if they
|
| are compatible with my current reel, or any reel in the future?
|
| Online fishing forums that you recommend?
|
| Any good online stores that ship to zipcode 00726?
|
| Thank you for your help and info.
|
| Take Care.

Generally speaking you have a broad range.

What is called in a pond or lake is NOT suitable for the surf.

A lake or pond may need a 6' rod with 6 to 10 pound test.

Larger lakes and rivers would require a 6' to 9' pole and could be a different rod for a
boat vs from the shore. When on a boat casting may not be needed as much so the rod can be
stiffer and shorter than a rod used from the shore which would needf to be longer and more
flexible.

Surf fishing rquires a reel that can handle salt. Never use a large freshwater reel on a
surf rod. It will NOT last long. Make sure your reel is rated for salt water. A good surf
rod should be carbon fiber and be a minimum of 9' but 10' to 12' is better. A good
suggestion is the Daiwa Eliminator 12' surf rod. The line should be 15 to 20 pounf test.

I do NOT suggest an online store !

I do suggest you waling into a sports shop and/or Bait and Tackle shop and looking and what
is there and ASK QUESTIONS !

You are where, Puerto Rico ?
I am sure there are some good, quality, fishing pro shops there you can browse and ask those
questions at.
