What kind of fishing pole would be the best one to start out with? Fishing in a pond?

Question

My daughter wants to get her Dad one and one for herself for Father's Day, and I have no clue...also, budget-wise, what am I looking at?

Answer 1

for this situation: I would go with Zeb-co 33 or Any 6ft-7ft Rod & Reel Combo Set ($19.95 Each). Depending on the Level of Fishing experience Level the combo Sets come in the close face push button, Which is good for the beginners & Intermediates. Also it will Develope their Casting Skills, Just Push & Hold the Button Cast & Release. For Dad, Spincast Open Face Or Push Button 7ft-10ft Pole. ($19.95 to $300.00) But for Ponds & Lakes or Central Parks, Parks & Wildlife Resovoiurs The $19.95 Combo Sets With 12 Lbs to 17 Lbs Trilene Line will handle most any size Game Fish in Ponds & Lakes.

Answer 2

When it comes to fishing gear some times you get what you pay for. I would recomend a med. action rod 6 to 6 1/2 feet long. Shimano is very good choice and you should be able to get a combo for around 25 to 30 dollars. Your daughtrer would be best suited with a closed face reel. A Zebco Rhino combo would be a very good choice. They are durable and cost only about 18 to 22 dollars. One thing I would recomend is not to go below 5 1/2 feet on the rod length for your daughter. The shorter the pole the harder it is to get distance on the cast. Hope this helps!

Answer 3

You can go to any sporting good store/Walmart and buy a spinner reel/pole combination. I would not buy you daughter one of these snoopy/disney fishing poles, there are cheap and will not last long. For a basic spinner reel/pole combo your looking at 40 bucks or less. Mitchell or Abu Garcia are good brands. You also need to buy here some small in-line floats, split shot weights and some small worm single hooks. This set up will be best for fishing for panfish or bass with a worm for bait.

Hope this helps.

Answer 4

depending on how old your daughter is, you should be in the market for a 4"6' ultralight or light action if she is younger than 12. if shes older and serious about fishing go for a 5"0' light. it can be used for pan fish and other fish in the pond, but can also handle trout, bass, and the occasional sager/walleye. you could get a good quality one for about $40.

Answer 5

I would say a Zebco 33 combo for a starter rod and reel combo . I fished with one for years and still do on ocassion.


You can get a rod and reel combo for about 20 dollars each .

Answer 6

A Shakespeare Ugly Stik. It's about $30. You could easily land a five-pound fish with it.

Answer 7

to start of you can use a shimano fiber glass 35 inch! its a multi use cause u can also use it for saltwater fishing and the reel is long lasting. good luck and have fun!! fishing is a great way to relax. price range anywhere from 30-65 dollars
