i want to go kayak fishing!

guys, just wanna ask:

1) Whats the fishing methods in jurassic pond?
2) Are live baits allowed?
3) RM100 is for 3 hours and no fish are to be brought home?

Hi Everyone,
Im new here and im not really familiar with all fishing thingy. So I hope that i am in the right thread, and hopefully you all can guide me    .

I want to learn casting fishing (like fishing a snake-head or toman?)

So here are the things that i want your expertise

1) Reel
Thinking to buy Abu Garcia Pro Max (Low Profile Reels). Only can afford to have this, others look very expensive in Abu Garcia line.
It has 7 ball bearings which i think good enough maybe.
Any advice please let me know.

More Info on Pro Max

2) Rod
Thinking to buy 5 - 6 feet Rod casting, donno which brand (you may advice). Since is is for casting, soft bending (dunno what is the correct term) would be better right?
Advise me please..

3) Braided line
Please advise how much pound for the main line. Which brand (Not too expensive, average range is better  ). The main criteria is i can throw the bait farther, so would thing small mm is better imho.

4) Bait
This is less a concern. but if you have thought feel free to share. Thanks!

Maybe with your guidance i will catch my 1st ever toman. 

Dont need to be a pro to use 6lbs la... anyone can use, just need to reel and pump the fish in slowly. Let your drag do its job to tired the fish down.

Welcome Bro Xenon,

First set a budget,.. then easier to work from there. You DONT wanna start with those really low end casters like relix & awashima.

Pro-Max is a good start, for the similar price Shimano Caenan is another good choice.
Rod - get a 6ft at least, for toman and haruna hunting,.. safe to stay in the M - ML any where starting from 8lbs - 20lbs or anything in bwtn. 8-16lbs would be good. Majorcraft Basspara RM220 6'3"
Else hunt for the Okuma Nemesis II 6-12lbs or the new Shimano Vengeance.

Line - If you are just going to pay pond,.. 10lbs line is good enough. If wild hunting go for 15lbs min all the way to 30lbs, dont buy cheap lines,... lines determine and decides your fate on landing the fish or losing an expensive lure.

Lure - so many options from replicas to the real deals,... i generally stick to those within 10-30buckaroos,.. well i have some MB and jackalls but never really use em.

1) Thanks for recommendation. I only know this brand. You may advise other brand if it is good and affordable (Seem like you all not talking about Abu Garcia Brand in last few pages  )

2) So medium would be good right?

3) How about 20lbs? Is it too big? afraid of main line snapped.
