So first things first, I am new. Not just to this site but rather to fishing. And buy new I mean I don't (as of this moment) have a Rod, Reel, or Tackle. And it's been more than a decade since I last fished
I used to fish with my Grandfather when I was young. He passed away when I was 13, and we didn't fish about a year before that because he could no longer get out of bed. I am now 27, so it's been quite some time.
In my time of fishing, we used bait such as worms and blood worms (I think he could them that). The only lure I used looked like this http://www.basspro.com/Bass-Pro-Shops-Tournament-Series-Micro-Spin-Lures/product/29902/145873
I'd like to go fishing, bass fishing as well. I need more than tips at this point. I need very basic beginneers instruction. Anything and everything will help.
I went online and looked at fishing rods, never knowing that I had to decide the length and what not. What length should it be? What material should it be made of? What Brand?
What type of reel do I need?
I need to buy a tackle box. What are the basic items I need to have for live bait and lure fishing?
Can anyone help?
