Hello all -- got a couple of questions for you guys. Just getting into fishing and I really don't know where to start. The amount of reels, rods, tackle, etc available out there is a little overwhelming -- went to Bass Pro today and bought something, but I don't know if it's what I need or what. Unfortunately, the help I rec'd at Bass Pro was about worthless -- they didn't seem to know any more than I do which isn't saying a whole lot.
Anyway, I'm going to be primarily shore fishing. As a kid, I usually had one pole in the water tight lining for catfish and another pole bobber fishing/throwing a plastic worm around catching bass and panfish.
What equipment should I be looking at to do the above? I'm assuming I'll need at least two rod/reel setups? Forgive my ignorance, any help will be appreciated.
I bought the following today:
Shimano Sienna 1000RD
and
Ugly Stik 6'6" Medium Action
Is this ok? Should I take it back and get something else?
Thanks again all, appreciate the help.
