I am not up to speed on kit, as I have been using mostly old stuff that has been kicking around for +20 years. The only exceptions are an Abu Garcia Specialist 6'6" combo and an ultralight rod (Berkly Traditions?) with a Shimano Sedona.
So I used the little Abu Garcia combo on a recent trip, but would like to buy a nice setup for my wife, as she has shown considerable interest in learning how to fish.
They type of fishing is casting (up to 1.5oz lures) either from the shore of a river, or ocean, for salmon - mostly Coho. She is new to fishing so simple, easy to use is a bonus. The fish can be up to +20lbs, but usually they are around 8-15 pounds.
I would like something that she can keep and use for a long time. What do you suggest for rod, reel and line?
