Fishing rods and tips for beginners can be found at any of the good tackle shops around the country. Hearing words like Shakespeare and Fenwick when you’re not really sure what you’re doing can leave your head spinning. Shop staff and expert fishermen are often really keen to give advice to new fishermen and women so that they can choose the right waders, flies and reels for the fish they are after. Fly-rods and other rods are available in starter kits from most stores so that you can learn the ropes before you plunge head-on into the world of fish.
If you only know about spinning bikes and nothing about fly-rods, flies, Shakespeare or Fenwick, then you might need a couple of fishing rods and tips for beginners before you take on the great open of a dam or the sea. Starter kits are available at most tackle shops, and they often come with written advice on the various equipment and methods that you might need to catch the fish you want. The great thing about fishermen is that they’re always willing to tell you how to do things better, so that you need not end up purchasing fly-rods when you need something completely different. So put those waders on and ask in store for assistance.
Fishing is a calming sport because it involves time with nature, and an incredibly important thing to remember is that you must treat nature with respect and care. It is important to give back what is too small or too large to eat, and that which is endangered or rare. In fact there is no reason to be fishing if you don’t respect the earth. Don’t be afraid to open your mouth and ask at the South African tackle and sports shops for fishing rods and tips for beginners.
