Great Post!
Many anglers get taken for a ride when they walk into a tackle shop and see the bewildering range of choices available. The salesman then sells him stuff that isn't really neccesary or beyond his original budget.
Many a big fish has been landed on a Hyperama special rod with a Shakespear reel.
Just like golf, the best equipment cannot magically transform your game without knowing the basics.

ASG ek stem ook saam, ek trek my bakkie omtrent by die water en gebruik soms penne en los my kas op die flap. Ek het nou die aand my kas reggepak en by die 23 botteltjies floaties afgekom. Baie dips staan ook net in my kas, miskien eenkeer in 3 jaar gebruik. Gaan vir my 'n klein battle box aanskaf en back to basics.
Ek het by my pa geleer van groot van der merwes en bruinbrood. Stap eendag by 'n hengel - winkel in en skrik my morsdood vir alles. Ek koop toe daai dag tigernuts wat die ou my belowe ek gaan vis vang. Onkundig weet ek nie van needles en bore nie en try die goed op no8 hoeke kry.
Niks gevang met die nuts nie!

@BRAKKANJAN: ekt presies dieselfde idee as jy. Het nou nie so baie floaties en dips nie, maar gaan ook vir my ñ battleboks koop met die bare necesities/basics.
@ASG: Jy het regtig nie guts nodig vir Shimanos nie. Jy het guts nodig as jy geld gaan mors op enige ander katrol.

Ek dink hy het Guts nodig om die vrou te oortuig! lol!
Neeeeee Manne!
Vroulief is nie die probleem nie. Dis ek!
Sy gee glad nie om as ek geld spandeer op dinge waarvan ek hou nie.
My ou Shakespear katrolle werk nog goed en ek wil graag n nuwe stel koop, maar ek moet die guts kry om met n bewende hand die geld uit my beursie te haal vir nuwe Shimano's.
Dalk moet ek net een Saterdag oggend a halwe bottel Capt. Morgan drink en vroulief kan my dan hengel winkel toe vat?:fishn

Hey Naruto
I just posted something regarding my first fishing experience...
http://www.sealine.co.za/view_topic.php?id=35926&forum_id=79
In my post, I requested some further assistance, but manged to stumble upon your post, which I'm really excited about!!!
This is an awesome post, even though some of the fishing jargon goes way over my head, I'm sure I'll pick up soon enough. There are so many questions buzzing around in my head, which could take up too much space. Could you please point me to some good research facilities ie, books, mags, websites? I'd really appreciate it...
Thanks and good fishing...
Regards JDB

If you wish to read up on freshwater angling, you could buy an SA mag called the Bank Angler. A quality gloss mag that covers conventional bank angling, specimen carp angling and pole angling. You could also go to Eddie Sheppard's website at http://fisheagle.homestead.com. He is a Protea bank angler with tips and pointers on what you need to know.
You will however find everything you need right here on Sealine. Next question?

So here's one of my questions.
As you know I just started out. It's all a bit daunting, researching and knowing what's exactly relevant to my situation right now.
I get the sense that there's just so much more to it than just randomly choosing a float and just casting out, hoping to catch something.
As a beginner what should I be thinking about? More accurately, what should I be concentrating on? What makes an angler better?
Thanks and all the best

what makes an angler better, is what you are doing, asking for help broading your horizions and always listenings, never go home after a session without learning something, and always take only picture and leave only footprints 
perhaps try hook up a session with one of the sealiners to learn more
