4 wt fly fishing reel Abel SDF 4/5 | Abstract Rainbow If you cast with your LEFT hand 4wt Packlight FastGlass Fly Rod

Very hard to see in the water, strong and reliable. Perfect for surface fishing too, with excellent knot strength and virtually invisible diameter

The Daiwa Aird 5500 reel has a long-cast spool system that fits perfectly with distance casting at high speeds

Haven't tried white

A starter lure kit for freshwater: 1 pack soft plastic swimbaits ($5), 1 pack Senko-style stick baits ($8), 2 spinnerbaits white and chartreuse ($5 each), 2 crankbaits shallow and medium-dive in shad color ($5 each), and a few topwater poppers ($5 each)

If you catch and release, cut the line and just let the fish go if it's a small hook, but if it's a large hook get some smaller tweezers and fish it out carefully

Dont fear football heads: Though not commonly sold for swimbaits, a football head will often crawl over and through rock better than a more streamlined head
