My girlfriend is from Michigan and she grew up fishing. She doesn't have her gear anymore, so I wanted to buy her something for her birthday coming up. I'm a hunter and have no fucking clue what to look at for poles; is there a solid generic thing you guys can recommend for a 120 lb girl?
Depends on a lot of factors. Think about the kind of fishing she does/will do, think of bait vs lure to work out the weight of the rig to be cast out (casting weight) Or just walk into a store and buy the first generic rod + reel combo that looks about right, also perfectly valid.
What's the budget? What kind? Baitcast? Panfish? Bass and walleye? I can give you a Good, Better, Best option Good: Shakespeare Ugly Stick, Berkley Cherrywood, or Eagle Claw Crafted Glass Better:Fplunger President Fenwick St. Croix Triumph Best is just a money is no object like G Loomis, Abu Garcia Fantasista X or Shimano Expride B
>>2856015get a spinning reel rod with a casting wieight between 5-40 grams and line bwtween ,25mm to ,35mm. thats the most universal setup you can get, with todays lines you can go to down to ,20 ish thickness and get the same breaking strength. the american standard of measuring breaking strenght is so much bullshit. a fishing reel can hold as much of a certain thickness line, that capacity is based on its thickness not on on its breaking strength. i want to know can my reel hold 200m of ,25? i dont want to know if it can hold x yards of x lbs.
