    I'm new to fishing, any tip which to buy and website to learn? Thanks!

      where do you want to fish (frewsh water, beach, boat, estuary?)

      a good general rod is about 7-8 feet long - the 8ft 2-5kg Ugly Stik Gold Spin Rod is a reasonable choice for the vast majority of fishing

      pair with a 4000 reel eg Shimano Sienna 4000 (reel size is based on how much line they can use. For some reason, reel sizing is described by 1000s eg 1000, 2000, 7000 etc. You can also get 2500!) anyway, 3000 or 4000 is a good general purpose reel. Put some 12lb line on it and away you go

      This assumes you are bait fishing. If you want to lure/soft plastics, then a whole nother ball game…

      the above set up is just from Rays and just looking at cheap end of stuff. I have a $180 spin rod, a $170 surf rod, 3 reels that each cost over $130 - and my gear is pretty much solid mid level stuff. You can easily spend twice that on a rod and the top reels are close to $1000. However, ugly stiks are very good rods, very tough and a good choice for any level. Shimano is a safe choice for lower priced reels and the Sienna is excellent value.

        thanks, i'll have a go with your advice for bait fishing in the beach this easter break.

          I'd recommend a lighter set up if you're new to fishing: the rig described above would be fine for bigger fish, eg Taylor, Aussie salmon etc, although the majority of estuary fishing will result in 20-45 cm bream/whiting/flathead. To really enjoy these fish, I'd be looking at a 2000 size spin reel with 4 lb line on a nice light 7 ft rod. Live bait is great, although this set up would translate well to braid and soft plastics.

          Why a lighter set up? So you can feel every movement and enjoy the fight, not just reel them in via neck breakage! My 2 cents. Either way, enjoy the Easter session!

          Yeah, you could go with a lighter set up. I still think the rod is a good general allrounder, but you can either use a smaller reel (eg a 2500) or just put lighter line on the reel. Beginners do benefit from having a heavier line, until you learn to play the fish a bit. Smaller reels are lighter (weight) so can be more comfortable. If you want a lighter rod, I'm a fan of the Shimano Catana range (eg the 802 bream rod or 702 soft plastic rod) - not at Rays but its $60 RRP. The Catanas weight a bit less than the ugly stick but are a bit more fragile.

          Btw, the difference between a $35 reel and a $100 and a $500 reel is components (longevity), precision (smoothness) and drag (ability to control the fish). To be honest, the vast majority of people who are bait fishing don't really need quality smoothness or drag (because you aren't winding the line much and you aren't catching big fish/using light lines), and while longevity is always good, a bit of care and a reel will last for years (and you can buy several cheaper reels). That said, having a more expensive reel is very nice, but its like having a euro car - if you can afford it, its enjoyable; but if you cant afford it then a cheaper car will do the job.

          @pensionday:
          Lol, it will be even more excitement when your $10-25 lure with 4 lb line snags in the weed or rocks or just a tree.
          People have to learn casting first before using very light lines.

        • pensionday on 17/02/2016 - 02:35

          @savit: braid? I use this setup a few times a week and never loose lure due to weed. If you cast into rocks, your line is not going to make a difference.

          Lures: hence why I said live bait is a good start

        • savit on 17/02/2016 - 11:05

          @pensionday:
          Ok. What drag do you set on the reel - 1/3 of the breaking strain of the line (600g)?

        • pensionday on 18/02/2016 - 00:57

          @savit: just set relative to target species based on allowing a 20 m run if required. I don't have any torque meters or strain gauges that can measure reel drag.

    The sedona reels look like there all fd models not the fe. Still a good price but it's not the latest model.

      The picture on the website shows the older FD model Sedona but the reels I purchased are definately the later model FE.

      • Stucuts on 07/02/2016 - 21:16

        The picture and description choice both show fd's. So if I order the fd online will they definitely be fe's on pick up? How did you go about it? Great price if fe's.

        • boonanza on 07/02/2016 - 21:55

          I did not buy online I went instore.

        • Stucuts on 07/02/2016 - 22:46

          Sorry mate. For some reason I assumed it was online only.
          Here a positive vote for you

  • droodle on 07/02/2016 - 22:26

    Recommend a little setup to take the kids fishing pls?

    • LoungeLizard on 08/02/2016 - 07:51

      I'd recommend one of the cheap combos you can get from BCF, K-Mart etc. Chances are the kids will break something or get bored and you won't use it again. If they really get into fishing and have a bit more experience you can get something better. Just a tip, don't get the really cheap One-Hung-Lo types from the 2 dollar store - they'll just be frustrating to use.

  • Ekimus on 07/02/2016 - 22:48

    $59 for 2 Sedonas or each?

  • Mat_Lab on 07/02/2016 - 23:39

    Seems to be $59 each. I wish it was 2 for $59.

    Boy I hope I am wrong

      Sorry fellas they are $59.99ea but still a great buy & you won't buy a better reel for $60
