Hey anons, I am a complete newbie to fishing never done before.
I wanted to build a nice little beginner setup for like under $250.
I only plan to do catch and release. Also I want something versatile, I don't plan to catch any major game or anything crazy. I will be doing mostly shore fishig (not on boat). I just want a good all arounder that I can use on salt and freshwater. I don't want a $20 set that won't last, I want something reasonable to grow into, but also not something expensive. Just a nice little budget beginner setup.
I kept reading the Ugly Stik is good.
So I was gonna order the Ugly Stik Elite Spinning 7' Medium 2pc (picrel)
Then a "Pflueger President Spinning Fishing Reel 30 - Box" reel for that rod.
Grab some fishing line.
What else should I get? Also any tips on the gear I listed above?
I am a complete newbie like I said, so idrk what gear is used for what situations, or if I am grabbing the wrong stuff.
