What To Look For When Buying a Fishing Rod and Reel.

Looking for a new fishing rod and fishing reel? These are things you should be looking at before deciding on a fishing rod/reel combo. You should strive to pick a rod/reel that best suits your style of fishing. Some fishing rods are more versatile than others, while others are very specialized for a particular type of fishing.
