A good ladies rod reel setup? I am in the market to purchase a fishing rod & reel new or used, I need some help. I am starting out and want to get my own fishing equipment because this summer I used friends and family and I got to like fishing a lot. I have no idea where to start or what to buy! I am smaller then average woman, only 5 feet tall. I shore fish ocean, rivers, and lakes. My budget is around a $100 for both rod and reel being new and all to fishing I want to practice and learn on used or cheaper fishing gear before I go out and spend a lot of money of good quality gear. This does not mean I want to buy cheap fishing gear that does not last. As mentioned, I am a beginner when it comes to fishing but I do have some experience. I will be fishing for catfish, redfish, black drum, trout, ect. I am fishing in the Houston area. I would like a rod/reel big enough to handle a 20-30 lbs line. Is the Ugly stick my best bet?

I have had this custom rod for all of a month now and my bonehead fishing bud stepped on it and bent the eye and it’s out of place. I would like to get it back to normal and thought possibly fixing it myself with a pair of pliers, but I don’t want to snap it and have to pay a ton of money getting it professionally fixed. It’s the piece connecting the eye to the rod.
Suggestions?

Hey all thought I would join and ask what your favorite fishing rod, reel, line, lure, and hook ETC? The only consistency I have when fishing freshwater the fish either snaps my fishing line or breaks my fishing rod. Because of this I always tend to lose the fish because I can’t seem to catch a lot of fish, but when I do their really hard to lure in
and I fish for walleye and northern pike. Also, I have a Shakespear E-Z Cast rod and I am a little lost and don’t understand how to put the line in the holes. It’s not push button, I haven’t used this rod in a while and I am about to go camping/fishing.
Your thoughts, advice, or opinions are more then welcome,
Eric

I hate wasting fishing line, but I did not put enough fishing line on my reel, so now when I fishing from shore my line can’t go deep enough. Is it a good idea to tie two lines together or a knot you would suggest to be good enough to hold at best, a 10lb fish? I am just too lazy to re-string the reel and it is a backup rod/ reel to boot! In short, would a good knot work?

Morning all! I am very interesting in building a saltwater fishing rod. This will be my first attempt and looking for instructions on fishing rod building for saltwater fishing. I am going for twenty to one hundred pound test and will use the rod/rods for both spinning and conventional reels.
Thanks, Erick

![catfishing rods](http://www.cupidfish.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/catfishing-rods.jpg "\\"catfishing")
Hello all another Newbie to the blog and needed some catfishing rod regarding the Berkley Cherrywood graphite fishing. My idea is can it be used for channel catfishing? The size of the rod is 6′6″ medium casting. My current catfishing rod is too stiff and has no sensitivity and I’ve lost many fish because of this. My idea is to use is cherrywood because of it would be easier to feel bites.
Finally, the rod is a casting rod and could I use a good sized spincasting reel for it?
Thanks for any advice you could cast my way- Will in AL

Any tournament anglers here at CupidFish? Anyway, got a quick question for a fishing tournament and get the option of one fishing rod, one reel, and one line. I got my Rod/ reel figured, but can not decide on the line to use. I was thinking about either a floating or sinking. Here is why, sinking I can whip streamers around and get some descent drifts with nymphs, but with dry line I can also use an indicator to fish the hard stuff plus the fall hatch is a blast top-water. What would you take, sinking or dry if a tournament was on the line? Will be fishing for Steelhead & Salmon.
Chuck.

A long time bass angler going to Florida and want to do some shore fishing and want to pick up a good saltwater fishing rod/reel combo under $50.00 with 15-25lbs line test? I’ll be fishing off piers/shore outside of Tampa Florida. Its my first time saltwater fishing, so if you have any bait and gear advice it sure would help.

Hello all need a little advice on the differences between closed reels and open reels. I have used a closed-reel for some time now, and they seem more prone to get knotted and twisted inside. Yet I know that open-reel rod are used a bit differently and can be more complicated. Pros/cons…advantages/disadvantages.Thanks!
I mean, other than the obvious of course…

My fishing bud went out and bought a $900 fishing rod. Fishermen always say how a good rod is very important, but in my opinion it has little importance. Of course you need a good enough rod to get the fish on the beach, but a rod won’t make the fish bite.
Is there something i’m missing here about how the rod is important? I fish with a 25 dollar Walmart rod… it works the same as any other rod.
Your thoughts?
Its was a 300 st croix rod, and a 600 reel,
Danny
