Well,
I know like with anything else, you can go crazy with fishing equipment in a search for the best and how much it cost to get it.
Well, in 2004 I as at the Waldo Flea market and I decided to get a fishing rod, which I did without knowing what I was getting.
I ask the old me I needed something to learn with, he sold me a Zepco 33 and I have owned ever since with no problems, I actually like it very much.
But now that my wife also want to fish and my song is old enough to enjoy coming along, I decided to go to Walmart and get a kids rod and another Zepco 33 for my wife. Well, last time we went fishing we got nothing but trouble with the new zepco...
Now I am thinking of getting a replacement rod/reel and I saw that walmart has a nice looking rod/reel for $17, the kind that the line is exposed and moves back and forth but it doesn't come with any line.
What is the best way to get new line into the reel ? Any tricks or do I have to just byte the bullet and roll it in on revolution at a time...
What other reel do you recommend and where to get it ? I do must of my shopping at walmart, but I would take the challenge of going else where to explore....
I got down how to cast with the zepco and the big black button, but these other kind of reels I don't have a clue...
