Fishing in Oahu, what kind of reel should I buy?

Is money an issue?

l don't know what kind of gear they sell on base but odds are they will have better stuff than walmart. get him a light outfit for triggerfish and such. something maybe to handle 8 to 15 pound line. 7 or 8 feet long. with a nice spinning reel.

What's he fish for? Freshwater fish? Saltwater fish? If he's fishing for larger freshwater fish, such as catfish, I'd go with an Abu Garcia C4, 6600 model, paired up with a 8' medium/heavy (or heavy) action Shakespeare Ugly Stik or Ugly Stik Tiger. This should cost around $150 or so. It would do well for most sizes of cats.

Fisherman are particularly choosy approximately what kit they like counting on the form of fishing they do. Your ultimate wager is to get your Dad a modern card at a high quality shop like Bass professional shops, and he can %. out precisely what he needs for himself. this could be a much better present than something he would not prefer or choose that he has to take returned and exchange etc.

Depends what kind of fishing he does

These are the main types of reels:

1. SPINNING

2. BAITCASTING

3. FLY FISHING

4. TROLLING, CENTERPIN
