HI Zizheng,
Whats your budget?
A full setup can range as low as 200-300 till thousands. Its easier to shop if you have a budget.
Have you fished before ?
Reason i asked this because I too just picked up fishing back in March, i was asked all these similar questions which I dont understand why or how.
Spinning setup would be easier to learn as a beginner.
What sort of fishes are you keen to hook up ?
Also another question i was asked. I now understand it fully.
If you are going for bottom fishing or bait fishing then get a Medium action rod and reel is good enough. (3000 - 4000 size)
If you wanna hunt for small fighters like peacock then got for light or ultralight setups which are more fun. (2500 size)
If you hardcore and all out for carnivorous fishes then a ML - MH rod and reel will be a better choice. (3000 reel)
If you want a multi purpose setup for salty and fresh water ponds i think a 10-20lbs with a 3k or 4K reel should be good for bottom/bait fishing.
Luring would require lighter rods cause you will be flicking the rod for hours, lighter rod will help to reduce tiring arms.
My opinion - Okuma Nemesis II is a good rod to start with for luring.
If you know what you want in term of rod and reel, then bigger shops like Kepong and OceanSea will have choices for you to look for.
If you require more advice from the shop keeper then try places like SS2 Fever, Digital in Puchong, SS4 Anglers Central, Red hot tackle in SS24.
wow.. impresive explaination bro... very good...
