Things to keep in mind as you shop:

As you set out to buy your gear, do keep in mind basic factors like where you are likely to fish most frequently, and what kind of fish you hope to catch. The Fishing gear which suits a day of angling at a riverside, is very different from what you need if you venture out into the sea for fishing. Fishing is all about matching the equipment to the type of water body you're headed out to fish for and the type of fish that's found there. The first step is to find the fishing rod that has the right action and the capacity for the fish you're after and whether it will hold on in a fight or will it break if the fish puts too much fight. There are different fishing rods, some that are well suited for freshwater fishing and some that are only suited for sea-fishing. Choose wisely based on your fishing destination.

Next, you'd want to match the reel to your rod. A powerful rod will need to be supplemented with a powerful spinning reel in order to fully utilize that fishing rod's capacity. A sea fishing rod will require a reel with a bigger spool to give you the distance that you'll need. The drag of the reel is another important feature that you should focus on.

Having made a decision on the reel, you will move on to the fishing lines. Fishing lines vary on the basis of material and their thickness. Both these factors directly affect the capacity of the line. Fishing lines can be either monofilament lines or braided lines. They also come in colours that are virtually undetectable in water so as to trick the fish into taking the bait.

Once you've equipped yourself with the perfect fishing rod and the reel, you'll want to pick up the perfect bait in order to catch the fish. Again, based on whether you're going for sea fishing or for freshwater fishing, you'll choose the lures. There are different types of lures that have the ability to attract different types of fish. Hard plug baits, metal lures, soft baits and sea spoons, all have different features and vibrations that attract different fish. Another thing that you should keep in mind before buying a lure is the casting capacity of your fishing rod. Fishing rods have a threshold in terms of the casting weight that can be used to cast using the rod. If you go for heavier lures, your rod might give in and the tip might break.
