Fishing Gear Basics for the Beginner
To be an amateur fisherman there are basic pieces of fishing equipment needed to complete your exciting journey in the fishing world. Knowing the line type and matching the right rod and reel to the fishing technique is just basic common sense. Match these tools appropriately and expect a more enjoyable experience for a more comfortable fishing. There are several things that causes the reel to turn into a bird's nest, don't worry, even experienced fishermen encounter this every now and then.
The main objective is to match the rod, the reel, the line and the lure. These will only cost a newbie around $25 to $40 and they could last for years. The 3 main issues when shopping for a rod are: Guides that are attached to the rod; Grip or handle holds the rod and could come in either cork or foam. They come in different lengths so the comfort to the user must be considered; and the reel seat where the reel is connected.
Dealers make a lot of fishing rods that could either be single or consist of two or more pieces when assembled. The connection is very simple; just connect the male and female ends together to make sure the guides are lined up. This would only last for a minutes. Sometimes, lubricants are needed. When shopping for a rod, slightly bend it to get the feel of it. Again comfort should be considered when using the equipment.
Rods of any type will work. It should be around 6' long and medium weight. Even a long stick will work. This should be long, straight and flexible so it will not easily break. The most popular rod is Graphite because it is so light yet so strong. Wispy rods should be up to 4m long to be used for long casts in moderate winds.
There are a lot of fishing lines to choose from and it can be very confusing to find the best. It is mostly made of nylon and "monofilament" that comes in spools of different lengths that are called Tests. The larger the fishing line the thicker it is in diameter. Find a piece of a 4lb. or 4 lb. Test that is almost 10' long for the basic rig.
The basic rule is that all the gears should match. To summarize your fishing kit, it should include other stuff as well: net, stringer, line clippers, fishing knife, first aid box, a pail of bait, sunglasses, fishing hat, and talking about the basics, don't forget your SNACKS! Before going to the river, lake or pond, make sure that a fishing license is purchased.
A great place to shop for fishing tackle is on the internet. It is fast and easy, provides good deals and can be done from the convenience of your home and delivered to your door.

how to attach an eyeletless fishing hook?
I bought a telescopic fishing rod kit (I am a complete beginner), but the hooks don't have eyelets in them.
It came with a float, hooks, a small rubbery sleeve and a small metal ball with a slice out of it. I can't figure out how to attach the hook, and it came with no instructions!
Can you help?
Hi, No problem...loads of hooks don't have eyes. They have a broadened end instead.
You just wrap the line round the hook shaft using a knot called a hook snood. When you pull it tight the broadened end of the shaft stops it coming off.
It will hold heavy fish...no worries. The harder you pull it the tighter it gets.
Scroll down here to hook snood...it shows the knot being formed.
http://www.getbentsportfishing.com/helpful/tips-and-tricks/fishing-knots/ . . ..
You can use an ordinary half blood knot as well. Normally they go through holes like eyes in fishing hooks and swivels and that's the normal knot to use for those.
To use one on an eyeless hook you need to loop the double line over the hook shaft instead of putting it through a hole and hold it in place with a thumb while you put the twists in it and pull it tight enough to grip the shaft.
Then put a stick or your fishing scissors or whatever through the hook to give you something to grip properly and safely and pull it tight. The broadened end of the shaft stops it coming off.
It will hold just the same as a hook snood. Here it is using a thicker rope so you can see what's happening. Again, when you pull harder it tightens up harder.
It's a bit like ...I'll never get how to do this.. for a couple of goes but keep on....we were all like that when we started.
http://www.ehow.com/video_4468104_tie-half-blood-knot.html . . . .
The small metal ball is a weight that just clamps over the line. Do it gently or you cut into the line.
The rubber sleeve can be used for a number of things.
It covers connections and swivels to make them smoother and stops things getting tangled up with bits of knots and protects them from wear and damage, and it can act as a spacer.
If you don't want to use it just ignore it.
It isn't essential until you can't live without a bit!
You're trapped then....hooked.
You're an angler.....careful.
Weeks only get 7 days in them. You might be using a lot of that.
Here is some being used to make a pellet rig for barbel.
Get all the way through the pics...it's a complicated one this for the real enthusiast..... a look at the future maybe haha...but it shows how inventive people can get when making rigs for a specific purpose. It just dangles a bit of bait under the hook.
Hook? What hook? Just tried a quick peck at that bait ...felt OK, tasty that...no hook there.....ahhh, what the hell, take the lot of it...nothing wrong with that.
Gaaarhhh! Blinking hook got me. Where'd that come from?
It's spy versus counterspy with angling.......careful fishy....hehehe

Fishermen are always looking for ideas....even about tubing. Here's a forum . Tubing question.

Enjoy the fishing. Telescopics can be OK. I use one for trekking holidays sometimes. Fishing to eat.
......Edit for FishSteelhead
Hi, Not just in UK...I've bought those hooks in Far East too and round Europe.
Tiny to big...long shank and short.
Good for tying small flies. Less to hide, lays flat.
Biggest I had on one probably the grassies in the Singapore ponds....20lb or so.
Makes a good night out....food stalls, company if you want...careful though.
Plenty of 8-10lb salmon with them in Scotland and south of England.
Good in Scotland....decent smokeries too. Dunkeld...
