The Top 3 Best Fishing Poles for Beginners

Recreational fishing is an American pastime, hailed for its perfect balance of excitement and calm.

One moment, you're leisurely dipping your pole in the water. The next, holding on for dear life as you attempt to reel in the prized fish you've been angling for all day.

Fishing is such a staple, in fact, that almost 50 million Americans nationwide took to the waterways—lakes, ponds, oceans, rivers—to play their part in the sport in 2017. 

Needless to say, we understand the appeal. If you're new to fishing, it's time to get started!

The best fishing poles for beginners are listed below. For best results and a shorter learning time, consider one of the following options.

1. The Plussino Rod and Reel Combo

The Plussino is a lightweight yet powerful rod-and-reel combo that's known as one of the best beginner fishing poles.

It's telescopic, consisting of tubular sections that slide into each other as a telescope would. This feature allows it to be both portable and space-saving. Still, the quality of the build isn't compromised—the rod is built of fiberglass and is incredibly durable.

Also, the reel is smooth and efficient, making it a fantastic starter, and the handle is comfortable, made from EVA foam. 

Finally, the starter kit is affordable, allowing novice fishers to partake in the sport at any stage without going broke!

2. The ShinePick Rod and Reel Combo

The ShinePick is another collapsable option perfect for beginners.

This kit also comes in a rod-and-reel combo, making it a breeze to pick out your size and start using it right away. It's another durable option—made of high-density carbon fiber—with a weight that's still fairly light.

Its reel is precise and even has an immediate anti-reverse change capability, allowing you to battle your way through any fight with a fish. This feature engages the drag, preventing the tackle from spinning backward. You'll just have to learn how to use it!

Like the Plussino, this rod is a budget-friendly option for those comparing choices for their first fishing poles.

3. Wild Water Fly Fishing Rod and Reel Combo

Are you interested in getting started with fly fishing?

If so, it doesn't get much better than Wild Water's starter kit, which includes everything you'll need to get started.

For such a low price tag, it's amazing how high-quality the equipment is. The rod is made from sturdy graphite, coupled with an aluminum reel seat that has an 85mm-diameter spool.

In addition to the rod and reel, this kit also has a fly box, rod case, flys, a tying tool, hook eye cleaner, and more. You won't need to look anywhere else before taking your first fly fishing trip—it's all here!
