new guy needs help. Rod and reel set up quest.

Featured Replies

Hello i've fished since i was a kid, but was always just a throw it out and retrive type a guy. Now that im older and my attention span is longer i figured id get a decent starter to learn some technique on.

I dont have a ton of cash but I do get a nice discount at pro fishing.

What do you think.

rod nothing to fancy just a uglystick lite but i cant decide on 6' mh or 6'6 mh

reel i like the pflueger supreme but as far as size should i get the 8035,8030

sorry should have posted that. To be honest with you a little of everything but i use cranks the most.

For the rod I would get a 6'6" MH. That will be good for all around fishing. Its not the number one choice for cranks but it will do fine.

For the reel i would just handle both and see which feels best. Im not very familiar with the pflueger reels but id just go with the what feels best. There are a ton of rods out there better than the ugly stik if your willing to spend more. If you are just give us your price range and we can pick something good for you.
