I haven't gone fishing since I was a little kid and my father recently gave me this cheap old Abu Garcia. Don't have any lures yet though. It'd be fun to try it out again so I'm wondering: how to prepare best? Do the markings on the rod contain anything important?
I'll mostly be fishing small-medium size freshwater fish (perch, pike etc). So far I'm thinking I'll buy new line (0.17mm?), small soft plastic lures and some hooks (sizes 8-4?). Any ideas?
