What kind of gear do I really need.
I won't be on a boat. I will be fishing some place in ohio. Some place around canton ohio. I don't want to buy total crap, but I don't want to spend a bunch of cash either. I know some things about guns and hunting gear, but I don't know anything about fishing gear other then a little bit about bait from when I fished with my dad. Everything is so fancy and complicated now. What kind of rod should I buy and what kind of real should I buy. I don't want to spend a bunch of money but I don't want to buy crap. I want something that will be good for the next 15 years. Thanks for your time.

RE: What kind of gear do I really need.
Last year I went looking for a rod a guy tried to sell mea rod for 200 bucks. That was just the rod. When I go to those big hunting stores its hard for me to shop for fishing stuff. There is so much crap. I was thinking about 100 bucks for the rod and real would be the highest I would go.

By the sounds of it you will be bank fishing, I would get a Shamino Curcial spinning rod, about $140ish, life time warranty, great rod and a Shamino Rell maybe a Symtre, I like Shamino gear it has been around a while and lasts the test of time..Just my .2c worth

most of the decent rods now have good warrunties. I have a few shimano reels that I bought new in the early 90's and they are still as smooth as the day i bought them.

Reel Garcia 103 spinning Walmart 36.00
Rod Either Team Diawa 6 1/2 --7 foot spinning medium ..50.00
or 6 1/2 --7 foot medium Lightning Rod. 36.00
All can be bought at Walmart..
The line..depends on the lures , structure and fish you plan to catch.

You don't need to go expensive... I beat my poles, rods, reels, whatever you wanna call them to heck... and they prevail. I may have to do some work on them once in a while but rarely get skunked on a decent rod, reel combo.
