What Rod & Reel combo

[Matty05]

Take up fly fishing, way more fun when fresh water fishing....and more fish are caught (imo)

Fly fishing does look interesting but I needed something a little more versatile.

Last night I bought a Penn tournament pinpoint rod, 6'6 and 3-5kg class, and a Penn Affinity 1000 reel with 6lb braid.

Now I just need to get the line wet................

Lures ... too scared too get some bait gutz on your fingers ... ???? and whats all this braids, flourocarbons .... something to do with vehicle emissions

Using lures just makes things a little harder, competitive and interesting. I can just take the rod, backpack with essential gear, and beers while walking around the watercourse trying my luck.

When it comes to the kids fishing they can use bait if they wish.
