HELP Boyz....
 

Okay, guys...I want to buy my husband a really nice fishing rod (for trout, mostly)...and I need some recommendations. I'm CLUELESS. I want something durable, something that looks nice, and something that will appeal to his engineering-i-love-gadgets personality.

So what would you recommend?

Randy and RevDWW are the trout guys.

I'm a bass and crappie fisherman.

What type of trout? Fresh or Saltwater? Does he want to bait cast or use a fly rod?


"something that looks nice".........:killinme:killinme:killinme:killinme :killinme:killinme

Is your husband a man that is not easily frustrated and yet would like something above average?

If so and your part of the country is ideal, I would recommend getting him a fly rod and give him a guided lesson, once he does catch a fish on a fly rod, he will be hooked and won't look back.

Orvis has nice starter sets for about $150.00, if your really on a budget you can pick up a entry level set up from Walmart for $99.00

Good advice K4H.

I like bass fishing.Little boat on the river.Its awesome.

Fresh, no fly rods.

Okay, looks sleek? Looks cool? Will impress all the other fishermen? :D

Okay...now I'm second guessing myself...you guys really think he would love a fly rod? Hmmmmmm.....

Catfish is my favorite........

Don't know to much about trout.........

Can you clarify "entry level set" with specifics and maybe a brand name? :coffee2 Thanx :D
