If you love fishing when you travel than you know having the right fishing equipment is a must. Depending on the size of the fish your looking to catch but if your looking to catch something like bass, cat fish that's around in the medium range than a nice fishing line that is not too thin and not too thick will do something like in the range of a 5 to 10 lb fishing line.
I love fishing it's been a long time though but I would love to go fishing again one day. Also too having a good fishing pole with a nice reel makes it very comfortable for you and with less of a headache because if the fishing pole or reel is a piece of crap expect major problems to happen. Like your fishing line can get tangled up all day, you pole could snap from fighting a fish that your pole was not meant to handle or it's cheaply made.
The fishing reel could be cheaply made and the fishing line gets tangled or loosens around it so many stupid thing could happen if you don't have the right equipment. When it comes to fishing everything is the most important thing right down to the fish hooks. If you have crappy fish hooks you might as well just call it a day because you are not going to catch a thing unless you have fish net but other than that forget it.
