im buying a fishing rod but it comes in a few sizes are there any benefits for having a longer or smaller, length also are there any benefits for having a heaver one or a lighter one?
ok so what lengths are good for what types of fishing or areas of fishing? as well where is weight good?
I want to go out and buy a fishing rod to use in baker beach in San Francisco. I don’t know much about fishing and really want to get into the sport. Also what is it going to cost me? Ballpark figure.
I am hoping to get a boat when I am a bit older and wondered what type of fishing rod would be good for sea fishing near the coastline? Also will I need any sort of license to drive the boat and to fish off it?
I am in England

I got some crappy rod at walmart 2 for 20 bucks. And i went saltwater fishing…oh what a mistake…they were 8 ft rods for medium action and the blue fish just raped the shit out of my fishing rods. And i was on a pier the reel couldnt even reel. And they just snapped.
My dad has good fishing rods that he bought in the 80′s like diaw and w.e. all these good companies but back then he got em all for 15 dollars. He told me the only places to buy fishing rods are at the tackle shops but those are 2 hr away.
I can still probably find a decent one at sports authority or dicks.
Im looking for a 8-10ft saltwater fishing rod heavy/medium action.
WHat material should the rod be? And simple tests to tell if its good or not. And about the reel i want one that comes with a reel but how do i know if the reel is good?
thanks
…should have just fished for spot…then i would still have my rods =(
I just bought a second fishing rod, I was wondering what line and test I should put on it (mono,braid,fluoro)? My first rod has 8lb mono and I fish generally all conditions, for bass and trout.
