Default Course Fishing - Kit Out?

Hi all,

1st time post!

I've not fished for about 15 years now and am looking to buy some kit.

I have £200.00 budget to spend on a complete setup, rod, reel, seat box,
nets, accessories...

Any suggestions?

Cheers,

Jach

A bit hard to say without knowing which part of the country and what sort of
waters - but:

You have fished before. Get something cheap, second hand even, similar to
the stuff you're used to. Spend well under half your budget and go for a
couple of trips; the fish haven't changed and although there's loads of new
tackle most of it is unnecessary and exists merely to lighten angler's
wallets. After a couple of trips you will begin to remember/discover
limitations in your tackle and technique in the light of the venues you fish.
Only then will you be able to make an informed selection of additional tackle
to meet your specific needs.

I suggest cheapest available rod, just above budget level reel, decent net,
no seat-box (you learn the waters much faster by roving with just a cushion
or a collapsible seat) and the bare minimum of end tackle - at this time of
year you can improvise most of it from a tenner's worth of odds. Do get a
disgorger though.

Have fun.

Cheerio,

I've bought stuff from www.usedtackle.com before (strange name as its not
second hand kit) Quality is reasonable prices very good.

I've not used there online store as one of their shops is close enough for
me to drive to.

You could certainly get a reasonable setup from them.

Don't shop for it - Argos it !

It's obviously not top quality, but it's usable - and well within your
budget

or there's http://www.dragoncarpdirect.com/

Don't let the carp bit put you off, they cater for match, pike, surf and fly
too
