Getting Started with Beginner Fishing Gear
If you’re new to the world of angling, start with the basics. For beginner fishing, I recommend getting a solid fishing rod and reel combo. It’s crucial to find one that’s versatile and easy to use. Trust me, nothing ruins a good day out like complicated gear!
My Essential Gear For A Day On the Water
Below is some of my top gear I take out with me every time I head out on the water. As you can see depending on the type of fishing you are doing the gear can change quite a bit. I have tried to break it up by the type of fishing I am doing that day to make it a bit easier for you.
Note: these are mostly Amazon Affiliate links and using them really helps me keep my content and YouTube channels going as I do make a little money off them at no extra cost to you!
