Can anyone recommend a good fishing rod for a beginning fisherman?
duaneneal asked:
An all purpose rod would be preferred; surf, pier and freshwater fishing are all possibilities. All input welcome.

looks like at least three different ones right there. you’re going to want a fairly long one for surf, a shorter one with some backbone for raising your fish on a pier, and something considerably lighter for freshwater which will open up a whole ‘nother can of worms. trout? bass? carp? musky? perch???

a pinnacle are pretty good rods and reels for freshwater and saltwater. i bought one new for 30$ at a flea market . and when i looked on the internet, it was worth 90$ new. so look for some good stuff at flea markets. you get a better buy

Try going with a 7 foot ugly stik spinning rod from walmart. They cost just under $30 and are great multi-use rods that are sensitive enough to catch small fish and strong enough to handle large fish. Buy a medium sized spinning reel and spool it up with 12lb line and you are good to go. Good luck! BTW, No matter what you do, don’t get push button rods.

For i beginner i would think a push-button rod.
