As Sean points out, all of it is fine to learn on and may serve you very well for years depending on what you want to fish for. Don't worry about the reels much. For the most part you'll use them for holding line and unless you hook into some thing too big to hold you'll just manipulate line with your other hand.

You didn't mention any lines and leaders and that's your next step. Is there a local shop that can help you? They might also be able to give you some lessons and that will cut way down on the learning curve. It's not hard but if you have 2 or 3 principles down it gets a lot easier.

Next, find a pond of bluegills and bass and with the small selection of flies you'll buy at said shop and go have a ball.


If something on the internet makes you angry the odds are you're being manipulated
