walmart fishing pole – need suggestion?
Going on a fishing trip this sunday and need to buy a not too expensive fishing pole <$30. We will be fishing for summer Fluke in the bay area. I like the reels that are perpendicular to the pole. Not sure what they are called. The line is unwind from the side of the reel as opposed to the top. I am going to take a trip to walmart after work. Any suggestions on what I need would be great. I would also like to get a pole that I could cast off a pier or jetty in the future. I could borrow a pole but would rather have my own just in case something happens to it. Any advice on type of pole, length, style, etc would be greatly appreciated. If you have an actual model or type, even better.
Thanks for the replies so far. I have been to a couple of stores and I am going to take a trip to sports authority today. I do want a pole that will not break or have problems with and something that will last. If you have any specific poles that I may find at Sport’s Authority or another mainstream store that are:
spinning reel (changed my mind about this, thought I liked conventional but casting is important and I read that spinners can be cast much farther)
- 7 foot
- medium to medium heavy pole that has some graphite so it is strong but still light. I like poles that have a longer base (part under the reel)
Basically a pole that I can use and cast from on the pier/use on a party boat in the bay/ on my brother in laws boat and would be nice if I could use on some lakes as well.
Something that will last and I have increased my budget to $50-$60. Can’t spend more than that at this time.
Looking for specific combos or reel and rod suggestions.
its called a spinning reel, they usually depending on your location sell starter kits or combos for fishing off a beach or pier. called a pier pole, this will also work good in the bay. cause the pole isn’t too heavy duty but its strong enough to catch a big fish. it is best to buy a rod and reel that is already put together rather than buying them separately especially when you don’t know alot about them. you want to get a pole that is at least 7ft long and is rated for medium to heavy action, this will give you good casting distance as well as strength. shakespear and quantim are my best. use about ten lb line, also get some three way swivels, 20lb leader line, circle hooks, pyramid shaped weights get variety of size so you can change according to current strength.
tie swivel to main line, tie small piece of leader line to swivel and weight, then tie about 3ft of leader to swivel and hook. use squid, mullet, shrimp, crabs. live is great frozen is still good
Why are fishing poles made different lengths, and how do I know what length is right for me?
I’m looking into getting a shakespeare ugly stik spinning rod/reel combo that comes in a 5′, 6′, or 6’6″ size.
From my expirence longer is better in every thing except storage. They are more accurate better for setting the hook and fighting the fish and cast longer. Think of it like this, if you have a spoon and you are trying to flip of a crum or something off it accross the room you can flip it alot further with a much longer spoon compared to a shoter spoon, the same consept applies to a rod.
I need a surf fishing set up for the south shore of long Island. What length pole, make of reel, and cost?
To fish the suds at Jones Beach or Robert Moses, it’s best to use a 10′ to 11′ fishing pole. I use a St. Croix Triumph 10’6″ and it’s light easy to carry. As far as reel, best is the Shimano Baitfunner 4500. I use 20 lb test Ande fishing line. Also a three way swivel with a snap sinker hook. For the St. Croix and Shimano, it’s about $260. If that’s too expensive get a Shakespeare Ugly Stik 10′ and a Okuma reel.
What length pole should I use for Walleye fishing?
I’m using a Spinning Reel
A regular medium action rod will work fine. Anything from 6’6” to 8” are good to have when walleye fishing. Good luck fishin’!
What length and action pole should I use for Bluegill fishing?
There is a chance that a ft long bass might bite while i’m bluegill fishing, if that needs to be taken into consideration
A twelve-inch bass will fight about the same as a big bluegill. There’s really nothing to even worry about. For bluegill fishing, any ultra light rod between four-foot-six and six-feet rated for line two to six pounds will suffice, just like Mike pointed out. But if you’re really worried about it, you might even want to go to a medium light action rod rated for four to eight pound test line.
I personally use an eight-foot-six Eagle Claw five/six-weight fly rod with a Shakespeare underspin reel loaded with four pound mono when I fish for crappie. I also use it for tossing out and soaking nightcrawlers. I’ve recently used it for fly lining live shad for bass and it works absolute great. It handles four and five-pound largemouths extremely well. Just takes a while to land ‘em..
