Talk to John (Fishaholic) he can certainly get you in a pair of used rods well within your price range.

You don't need waders. I only bought my first pair 3 weeks ago because the sur was up. Look at every one of my videos, I always wear my pants That's right, fish don't care what you're wearing. Buy a set of Grudens Gage foul weather splash pants for $35 and those will get you by just fine. I still prefer my paddle pants over waders. Pick up a pair of used... (yeah I know it's gross) USED dive or surf booties for $15.

New waders at Sports Chalet are $89 and are decent quality.


Here's a rod that will do the trick for $40

It's nothing special but it will put a quality fish in your boat. I've seen it

Here's a good kelp bouncer for calico/sheeps or rock fishing.
Take it in the bay and look for Halibut
http://sandiego.craigslist.org/esd/spo/3565019750.html $60
Put this on it http://sandiego.craigslist.org/nsd/spo/3524330810.html


Or hell, buy this whole lot for $65
Squidco charges $8-$12 to fix a broken guide. You could probably make a few bucks on this deal if you fix and flip. You've got two halfway decent fishing poles and a deicated bait making rig with one of those spinners

The deals are out there you just need to find them

I suggest not saving up then spending every penny on a rod or two without some spare change. Things happen. Kayaks roll, rods go overboard....you want to keep enough scratch around incase you lose on. That way you don't have anytime off the water. Plus since you're starting out, use the cheap stuff and get the feel for it. Work your way up. We see people go out in LJ for the first time with trout rods. We don't point and laugh because most of us were all there once....
yup, even me... 18 months ago
