So I'm shooting for the Berkley lighting shock, and what gear ratio am I looking for on the Daiwa Fuego CT? *edit*: I couldn't find a Daiwa Fuego at Dick's, but I did find this one that caught my attention. https://m.dickssportinggoods.com/p/abu-garcia-pro-max-low-profile-baitcasting-reel-15abguprmxlpxxxxxree/15abguprmxlpxxxxxree

So you want me to go for the baitcaster instead. Does the baitcaster give me a larger variety of species to fish?

So new idea: The plan is to get a Ugly Stik Elite and a Pflueger president 30 spinning rod. Basic enough right? I'm not trying to go full "River Monsters" (TV show) here. The line I am adding will probably be a Berkley Trilien XT mono line The presidential 30 holds 240 yards (i believe) of line, and 4 pounds or something

The original idea was spinning rod, but I'll look into it

If the first option is a bait casting rod, why is the reel a spinning one? So here is the current amazon cart: https://www.amazon.com/Berkley-Lightning-Rod-Shock-Casting/dp/B003X9Y8C6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1536615507&sr=8-1&keywords=berkley+lightning+rod+shock https://www.amazon.com/Daiwa-FGLT3000DC-Fuego-Spinning-Reel/dp/B0774YLXJQ/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1536615661&sr=8-3&keywords=diawa+fuego+reel OR same rod but the reel is PFlueger 30b https://www.amazon.com/Pflueger-PRESSP30X-President-Spinning-Fishing/dp/B074WHR6MS/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?ie=UTF8&qid=1536615747&sr=8-1-spons&keywords=Pflueger%2Bpresident%2Breel&th=1 oh and some of this https://www.amazon.com/Stren-SHIQS10-15-Impact-Monofilament-Fishing/dp/B00NWD4NMI/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?ie=UTF8&qid=1536616139&sr=8-1-spons&keywords=stren+fishing+line&psc=1

Well, my idea wasn't for a combo, but is there anywhere i can go to get one built? (Like get the rod and reel toghether as well as string it?

Everyone, I might have found a good one: http://www.pfluegerfishing.com/pflueger-combos-spinning-combos/pflueger-president-spinning-combo/1447419.html#msclkid=69e0779713a41d91eaca2c02c16cc15e&utm_source=bing&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=%5BADL%5D%20%5BPflueger%5D%20%5BNon-Brand%5D%20Combos%20-%20Spinning%20Combos%20-%20(Broad)&utm_term=%2Bspinning%20%2Bcombo&utm_content=Combos%20-%20Spinning&adlclid=ADL-356dba64-6b49-4f9c-8424-fec2875ec0d5&kwid=76690997664499x1227055045525586x279271371&start=1 The rod length is 7', Medium Action, and has a lot of positive reviews

Wait a minute... Does your last name start with a B?

I did some more research, I feel like a combo would be the best start as rather than looking for a Rod and Reel separately, I can get them both. A friend of mine recommended: http://www.abugarcia.com/abugarcia-combos-spinning-combos/abu-garcia-pro-max-spinning-combo/1405193.html#start=3 or this one: https://www.dickssportinggoods.com/p/shakespeare-ugly-stik-gx2-spinning-combo-15sksuglystk7clsscom/15sksuglystk7clsscom

My budget? Under 200 seems pretty fair to me, just something that has room for mistakes I guess. Not to sure about technique, just the basic casting and stuff. The type of water I will be fishing in are local lakes. (If you can tell I have 1% experience of fishing)

So, I recently joined my HS fishing club. I haven't had much experience fishing (do cane poles count?). The club dierctor/coach was kind enough to offer to lend me some of his gear so I can practice. I'm willing to try fishing, so if I like it, I might buy my own gear! So I kinda would like to know some good beginner gear, just in case I do get into it.
