What's Hot
I'm looking to get a small kit to start me and the young lad off into the wonderful world of fishing.
I had a ton of stuff but gave it away years ago (before kids were on the horizon) as I had gave up and wanted to get someone else started.
I'm after a basic float setup that can be added to as time goes on. So mainly a rod and reel, landing net etc at the minute.
Age is not important as long as its servicable for a while.
Thanks

I used to fish years ago ago and had some nice kit but ended up selling it all when I was in my early twenties.
Me and my youngest went on a 'intro to fishing' thing a few months ago and it was bloody brilliantl - just a basic pole and float set up but junior was sold on the idea.
Im wondering if those Argos complete kits are any good?
If you know what you're doing, you can pickup good kit relatively cheaply s/h. If not, your best bet is to pop into your local tackle shop and they'll kit you out with something suitable.

The fladen gear is usually excellent beginner gear and like guitars, the cheaper stuff now is so much better than the beginner stuff of 30 years ago, abu Shakespeare and daiwa all make great budget stuff
You may be wondering how I know this.......

Don't get me wrong, it can get pricey, but it doesn't need to and lures are reusable. Learn to tie K2K titanium wire, spend £30 on lures and jig heads from AGM discount and I'll pass you an ultralight rod perfect for luring for perch and small chub/pike for nothing if you're local to cambridgeshire
Thanks again for your generosity.
Ive just spent approx £100 on two rods, reels and some hooks, floats, shot etc. It was more expensive than buying online but the level of advice and expertise from the guy in the shop was worth paying the extra for. Our first outing is on Tuesday, so I'll be going back to the shop for a couple of pints of maggots on Monday evening.
The pricey bit is the rod licence and then the cost of tickets for the places where you can fish - there doesn't seem to be anywhere in Hants that's free.
