Ok Patrick here is a simple question for you. How many times have you gone fishing this year? Since I believe the answer to the question above is none, then how many times have you been out of your bedroom other than to use the bathroom? You can't catch fish if your line isn't in the water.

As a beginning angler, and believe me you are a beginner, you need to simplify your methods. Stop worrying about what is the greatest rod or reel etc. When I wanted to try conventional tackle I started with an upsidedown spinning rod I bought at Bradlees for $19.95 and used it for a full season.

Sooooooo, go buy some 5/0 eel hooks, some 40lb leader and a dozen eels and go fishing. If you want to fish plugs buy a Gibbs Stubby Needlefish in white and fish that. You could fish either one of those two methods and catch fish all season long year after year. It really isn't Rocket Science....
