Need to start researching fishing rods and reels for fishing our Norfork Lake. All, and I mean all of our fishing gear was stolen out of our 5th wheel about 6 years ago, so, starting over.
We'll eventually buy a boat, but until Mrs. smokeywolf's heart issues are ironed out, on a boat, out in the lake is not a good place for her. For the time being we'll do a little fishing from shore. Our lake access is 5 minutes down the road and we often see folks fishing from shore there.
The rod and reel Mrs. smokeywolf had and that she fished stripers with before, was a light weight salt water rod and a Shimano (I think) Baitrunner type spinning reel that I bought her nearly 25 years ago. I watched her reel in an 18+ lb striper with that from the bank at Silverwood lake up in the San Bernardino Mountains. Have a picture somewhere.
I've done comparatively little fishing over the last half century and bought very little fishing tackle. Hoping to get some input from those of you with more experience.
Winelover, HELP!
