Hello guys.... I want to start fishing thus I am new. I know you guys are talking about rods and so on. I am interested in 'line' (cheaper than rod and easy to mantain) So I would like to know what do I need and the setup.) The place that I will be fishing would be beach area. So please guide me from step 1. Thanks

you wanna fish just using the line?
basically you'll need:
1. A manual spool to store the line
2. 10-20lbs line, depending what you're targetting..
3. Lead sinkers
4. Hooks, again size depends on what you're targetting...
5. If you can see the fish from the surface, then you'll need a float tied to a short line.
6. Swivels
FYI, a cheap set of rod + reel can cost below RM30...
so if I were you, I'd rather get this than using just the line to fish..
