| I should have wrote this earlier
|
| It's just like hunting, sure there are many different rifles for
| different game and conditions,
|
| BUT,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
|
| Someone can use a single bolt action 270 and kill everything that is
| hunted with a HP rifle in the US.
| Sure it's over kill for many animals, and a little light for a few, but
| it actually works just fine (what ever you do, don't let my wife know I
| wrote this). I own around 15 different center fire hunting rifles for
| different game and conditions. I told the wife "I had to have them"
|
| Fishing is the same, one rod and reel, and you can catch most game fish
| up to around 30 lbs, one will not be the "best" though, but it will work
| for the beginner.
|
| As you get older you add more rods and reels, I think I own somewhere
| around 40 or 50, many are duplicates (they have the same purpose) but
| made by different companies.
|
| Right now you should just get one, and start filling up the tackle box
| with your budget, then as you find that one lacking a little for the
| lures or target fish you spend the most time fishing for, you buy
| another one, then another, then another, over time. Don't go buying a
| bunch of rods and reels at this point, just learn how to fish and enjoy it.

Not surf fishing Rodney. You can't use a Rod & Reel designed for fresh water in a salt
environment. The metal can't handle it and it will corrode and will self destruct.

Secondly when surf fishing you have to get some distance past the breakers so you need a
good tall rod with good flex action so you can get your lure out there.

If anything, I suggest TWO sets. One set designed for Fresh Water and another set designed
for Salt Water fishing.
