Fishing is a sport that makes you feel one with nature. For seasoned anglers, fishing is something more than live bait and fishing rods. Fishing novices, trying it for the first time, can ensure a wonderful fishing experience for themselves by investing some time, money, and energy in selecting the right fishing equipment, tools, and accessories.
The fishing rod is the most important part of any fishing equipment. Beginners can manage with a basic fishing rod and some bait. The quality of the rod and its various features will make no difference to you if you are a novice. The most important thing for you at this moment is to get the hang of your new hobby and to enjoy it thoroughly. When you are fairly comfortable with your new hobby and are ready to learn the other interesting things that it offers, you can examine and purchase more complex fishing equipment.
The market is flooded with a wide range of fishing rods. An amateur angler will need a lot of time to try them all out before selecting the most appropriate one. You will find fishing rods made of a variety of material such as fiberglass, carbon fiber, and wood.
First ascertain the type of fishing you are interested in and in what conditions you are going to fish before you actually purchase a fishing rod at a store or order it online. You have to feel the handle of the rod in your palms and practise casting the line with it in order to get some idea of how flexible and easy to use it is.
The most appropriate length of fishing rod for you depends on the type of fish you want to catch and the type of bait you will use while catching it. If you want to catch small fish with light bait, you could go in for a rod four to six inches long. You need longer rods of more than six inches if you want to catch larger fish that require larger bait.
You can buy a new fishing rod at your local store or order it online. A better way of getting started with your new hobby is to purchase a second-hard rod first and purchase a new one only after you have achieved a certain degree of expertise in your new hobby.
Fishing is one sport that people of all ages can indulge in. You need a lot of practise before you become an expert angler. You won’t become an expert angler in a short time. You need immense patience and loads of practise. Just waiting for a fish requires a lot of patience, and you could get easily frustrated if you fail to catch it.
In spite of all this, fishing can be a great deal of fun, especially when you fish in the company of friends.

Toss a nightcrawler (worm) on a hook with a sinker and toss it out. let it sit on the bottom and wait for a tap on the line. set the hook and youre good to go. Pretty easy stuff. Thats the most simple rig I can think of.
Good luck and let the big ones go!!!
OK, Kid, here's how you can catch Largemouth bass like a pro.
Strip whatever line off of your reel, for starters, and we'll go from there.
I've been fishing on & off for about 50 yrs.(since I was about 4 yrs old), and I've tried just about everything that they have put out on the market, except for some of the exotic, and the really expensive ticket items that are still out of my price range.
I don't know what type of rod & reel you have, but having a good one is just as important to the trip as having fun is.
So here is what I've done, & I continue to use this set-up as recent as last weekend.
I purchased a "Rhino", "Indestructible" 2 – piece, open-face rod @ Walmart, $20.00. (ask for help if you need it.)
Next, I bought a Shakespeare, open-faced reel that has 10 ball-bearings @ (Yes, you guessed it, Walmart, cost: $35.00.)
A really good line is imperative if you're fishing around stumps, weeds, & through heavy moss, (HINT: This is where the fish are). I got really tired of fighting good sized fish, only to lose them in the heavy moss that I've had to drag them through, and breaking off due to the weight of the fish, plus the weight of the weeds/moss is most discouraging.
I found a line that works well in the toughest cover is the 20 lb. test, braided "Spiderwire" is worth the dough you've got to cough up for it,….. but there is a one, must follow rule to using this line, …….. when 1st spooling the line onto the reel, it has to be wrapped onto the spool really tight, as it has a tendency to bind up, (like locking your fingers together), once that is accomplished, you're almost ready to start fishing, and the braided 20 # line has only the diameter of 6 # mono, so you get the casting distance of the 6 lb. line with a given 20 lb. test strength. ( And once again, Walmart, for about $12.00.)
Finally, we are @ the part that is going to pay off in some good dividends. Go to Walmart, Bass Pro Shops, Cabela's, Gander Mtn., or a local bait shop, (and the latter might be your best bet), and purchase 2 items. One is a pack of "Mister Twister" "Keeper" hooks, size 5/0, which is, while being a large hook, remind yourself that your fishing for "Ol' Bucketmouth", (and I caught one about a month ago that swallowed an eight inch bluegill). Cost? About $3.00.
The final item to purchase will cost you about $3.99 per package, but this is where the fun turns to being a serious fisherman, fisherperson, whatever. I buy the Berkeley 10"(inch), "Original" Powerbait Worms, in Black, Red Liver, Black/Blue tail, Blue Fleck, & Green Pumpkinseed, and Black is my alltime favorite, as they just hate the sight of some predators, and believe me, they hate the color black most. I've never seen one lure, used day or night, that has gotten the strikes that I've had using the black 10" worm.
Hooking the worm is basically self-explanatory, just so the tail rides upwards.
The technique: Very simply it's all about patience, practiced patience, something that I was never really good @ until I was shown how to catch bass. Pick a likely spot that bass should be using for cover, something like a submerged tree stump, a grass line in the water, or even casting down the length of the shoreline as you approach the area that you intend to fish. Once the worm has been cast, allow it to settle to the bottom, and wait, (when the worm hits the water, the splash will scare off the fish, but don't worry, they'll come right back to their spot in a few minutes), usually 3-4 minutes will do… no takers? Then move your rod to the 12 o'clock in front of you, take up the slack… gently, until you feel the weight of the worm giving resistance, now twitch the rod 2-3 inches towards you, once, twice, maybe even three times, take up the slack, and repeat until you have retrieved the worm back to the rod. Cast again, repeating the above technique, and you don't neccessarily have to cast to the same spot over and over. Using the 12 o'clock in front of you, cast 90 degrees to your right or left, parallel to the shoreline, and work all of the water back to your 12 o'clock, then move on down the shoreline just far enough that your next cast overlaps the last shoreline cast by about 1/4 th of your last shore cast from the previous spot.
It has taken me almost 35 years, along with my fishing partner, (of almost 20 years) to find ways that actually catch some of the different species of fish that I like to eat, so what I'm trying to say is that you'll have to experiment with different techniques, products, and places to fish. A rubber mouse in black, white, gray, or brown, works well over moss covered water. And a green rubber frog works wonders around lilypads, and stumps as well, and blacl/blue skirts on a spinner blade works good in open waters.
As an added thought, show this to your parents, and maybe they can help you out with the cost, it's around $70.00, just for one setup. And I use a lightweight belly/hip bag to stow my gear in, (worms, hooks, stringer, mosquito repellant, rain poncho (the throwaway type), something to drink, etcetera.
Also, should you catch some decent sized, (legal), fish, and decide that you would like to have them for dinner, you can email me at FastrMastrBlastr@gmail.com, and I'll take you step by step on how to fillet them with the least amount of mess, no scaling, or gutting involved.
Goodluck & Good fishing
