I remember when I was little, all that my folks had to fish with was a bait-casting reel. They had to pull out the line and then throw it out into the water. This was not bad when fishing from the old wooden boat; but difficult when fishing from shore. Then, the (new-fangled) spinning reel came out, and eventually, my mom and dad changed over to those. Since that is what I grew up using, that is what i am most comfortable with fishing with.
I think it is interesting to watch the fly fishermen; but the skill of expertise in doing that is beyond what I want to spend the time to learn how to do it. I know that @JoshPosh has talked about his family actually diving and spear-fishing to get fish, and I think that is interesting to read about as well. What other kinds of equipment does everything use for fishing, and do you prefer lakes, streams, rivers, or ocean fishing?
