In almost every hobby people start off buying cheap equipment just so they can participate in the hobby (Or borrow the equipment), cheap pair of golf clubs, a cheap gaming computer. It's something to learn with. You're probably going to do something wrong you're going to be burning through line burning through lures and probably going to break something.
When I 1st got into fishing I accidentally dropped my spinning rod in salt water and Didn't have time to wash it. I had to go on a plane to go back home. When I got home the real was destroyed If I had spent a ton of money I would have been fucked.
>don't do this. It's much harder to learn to fly fish with a cheap rod and fly line, and that's a big part of why fly fishing has one of the highest dropout rates of any sport on the planetSounds like you're just Shiting on his characters and skills
