Shopping Tip: Keep in mind that there's quite a few items of fishing tackle that can be used to fish for and catch multiple species of fish. For example, an item may be referred to as a largemouth bass lure, however, that same lure may be used to catch something like walleyes or striped bass.

6) Fishing Rod and Reel Combos

Just selecting a fishing rod or a fishing reel each on it's own might be a drawback, unless you know exactly what they want. However, the advantage of purchasing a rod and reel combo is that those two are already perfectly matched together and ready for fishing.
