manly man Posted March 12 Report Posted March 12 (edited) Hello, I have never fished before. What is a good fishing rod I can buy which is also not very expensive? Looking to spend under 130 Canadian dollars (170 max). A rod that is good for small and big fishes, durable because I've never done it and don't want it to break because I pulled it too harshly. Specifically a good rod for catching salmon in a river (credit river on Ellington, erindale Park osprey marsh etc.). For a man who is around 5'9 or 5'10. Would ugly stik carbon be good? Also do I need a license to fish or nah? I'm 21 yrs old. And how much does the license cost and where can I buy it? Edited March 12 by manly man
CrowMan Posted March 12 Report Posted March 12 My recommendation would be to visit your local tackle shop. They'll answer all your questions. If you're in the west GTA, I'd suggest Fishing World in Hamilton.

BITEME Posted March 12 Report Posted March 12 Regs are a good start Not sure if Frank is still in business but Bronte Outdoors on the Lake shore in port credit would be a great place to start. He is a great guy tell him Peter sent you 1

Yes, go to your local stores and ask, but look at Medium power with Fast action 6-6 to 7ft long - go with a spinning rod for now Great combos are often on the market this time of year. Go to YouTube or Google (best combos under 130/150 US ). Daiwa makes great rods. Edited May 1 by Petriefisher
