fishing (semi-technical answer needed!)
3 Answers
As a kid (8-12) I used to love going fishing with my grandad, but we both got older and stopped going *sigh* Now at the ripe old age of 22 I fancy getting back into it again, but I'm not sure what equipment I need. I'll be fishing for perch and very small (up to 2-3lb) carp and similar in a couple of gravel pits by my house using a simple sliding float method.
The rod spec I've been given is 12/13ft through-action float rod with spliced tip and a min of 13 rings, a cork handle (out of personal preference) and a min 1lb test.
I have also had the zebco cool fixed spool reel recommended. Is this the right equipment, and can anyone recommend any specific rods / reels etc? I've got a rod budget of about �50 and a reel budget of about �20 as I don't want to spend a fortune just to get started again.
P.S. I know all about landing net specifications / rod licences / pit licences / close seasons on running water etc thanks!
