I'm finally grown up with a good job and home of my own and want to build my own arsenal, instead of using my Uncle's gear all the time. I primarily go catfishing in Virginia/Tennessee rivers. He's getting a new pontoon boat and is selling me his old 16' Lowe boat with a 25hp Johnson.
I'm looking for,
A light/ultralight rod or two for perch and trout fishing. I go fishing with my Sisters and their Dad sometimes and he's more of a pond fisher.
2-4 fishing rods and reels to catch eating size catfish. Probably 5-10lb in the rivers I fish. Any bigger and I throw them back because their meat is tough and nasty.
4-6 fishing rods and reels to catch big cats. They get up to 100lbs in these rivers. Thinking of getting a saltwater rod and Penn or Abu Garcia casting reel.
A quality casting net and fishing net to pull big cats in the boat.
Boat stuff? He's stripped the boat. I'll need to get my own lights, rod holders, battery, etc.
Any general gear I should stockpile on when I see them for cheap?
