So last week, I had the opportunity to join a friend of mine fishing the Credit River. I didn't have any of the fancy float reels and such. He just told me to bring a spinning reel and he would outfit me with a 9 foot rod so I can somewhat float fish. While he of course was all decked out. Needless to say, I think I want IN. Where does one even begin??? Currently in the market for a reel and rod. Budget say 700 for both. I understand there's other terminal tackle and such, but I'll worry about that later.
Please guide this lost noobie =)
