Bass Fishing Beginnings
Author: Bryan Jakes
You need some basic gear to get started fishing. Fishing is a sport that can be enjoyable no matter how much you spend as long as you have your basic needs.
$50 will get you a pretty good tackle kit so you can try out fishing and see if you like it. Another option is to rent your gear then you won't be out a lot of money if you do decide fishing is not for you.
In order to fish in public laes, rivers, and streams, in most states you need a fishing license. Children under 16 are not required to purchase one but do check with your local laws. Some sport fishing requires extra tags and children are not exempt.
The fishing license fees are used for stocking fish, and maintaining recreational areas. Some states will designate one or two days a year that are called no fishing license days. This is a good time to try out the fishing sport to see if you like it before purchasing a full years license.
Game wardens regularly check for fishing licenses. The citation can be expensive, and if they choose, they can confiscate all of your fishing tackle if you don't have one. Make sure you purchase a license for fishing in the required areas and keep it visible at all times.
The type of fishing gear you need, even though it is pretty basic will depend on what kind of fish you're trying to catch. Trout fishing is pretty popular so let's start with that one first.
You need a reel, a rod, line, hooks, weights, bait, and some kind of tackle box. Don't spend a fortune, but spend enough to buy equipment that will work well and last for at least as long as you're able to see whether you like it or not.
Another option besides buying all of your fishing gear is to rent it from a bait and tackle shop. If you're not sure whether you will even like fishing, renting might be a better way to go. This will help you decide before you lay out cash for any expensive equipment.
Tackle shops that rent fishing equipment can help you figure out which is the best equipment for your needs after you let them know what kind of fish you are going to catch.
For a decent quality rod and reel on a low budget the rod and reel combo may be the best choice and most large companies bundle them for sale as a combo package for beginners.
