Basic fishing equipment:
- fishing rod
- hook
- line
- reel
- float/ bobber
- sinker
- lure
A
lot of experience and practice would help you get to know which rod and
reel is best suited with which line and in what kind of rig. Fishing
experience would be enjoyable and productive if you know how to match
all the fishing tools.

Oh well, in choosing fishing equipment, don’t ever go with the cheapest
models. Invest atleast on medium priced yet reliable gears such as RODS, REELS, LURES, FISHING LINES. These are the basic gears you need. At
first start off with a medium grade and then when you are more serious
about the sport you can invest in the more expensive fishing tackle
options.

Having the proper reels and rods as well as tying it in with the proper lure is a must or you will not be successful.

Lemme add another point. In choosing fishing line, take into consideration the variety of sizes or strengths. The strength is
measured in a unit called pound-test, and the higher the
pound-test number, the stronger the fishing line. It's
important to choose line that matches your rod and reel,
the bait you use and the fish you're planning to catch.

AVOID TANGLES ON YOUR SPINNING REEL:
Spinning reels often get bird's nests and tangles, which are usually caused by one of three mistakes. The first is putting the line on the reel improperly. The line should go onto the reel the same way it comes off the spool, taking advantage of the curve the line has memorized from being stored on the spool. Lay the spool FLAT on the ground (do NOT hold it vertically) and start winding the reel. If tangles begin, turn the spool over. The tangling should stop and you reel should be tangle free for the future, as long as you don't make the other two mistakes. The second mistake is to overfill the spool. Spinning reels should never be filled past the front spool lip, or too much line will come out during casting and -POOF!- you'll have a big mess of tangles. The third most common mistake is to crank the reel while a fish is taking out line. While it's OK to crank a baitcaster while a fish makes a run, a spinning reel is not designed for such a mistake. During the fish's run, cranking a spinning reel literally twirls the line around and around, twisting it up like a rubber band and resulting in lots of kinks and tangles.

Improper filling of casting and conventional reels can lead to tangles, just like on a spinning reel. It is important to put the line on the reel the same way it comes off the spool. The spool of line should be vertical, with the hole horizontal and perhaps with a pencil through it. The line should be coming off the top of the spool, NOT the bottom. Fill the spool to the fill line, which is a painted or etched line on the spool, and you're done.
