I've watched a few videos but honestly I can't tell whats good vs. bias information, regarding fishing rods, bait, locations, types, etc (too add on top of my lack of knowledge, I have kinda a tight budget and idk what I should spend my money on).

Anyways, I feel like fishing is a good hobby to take up and I feel like it will certainly build skills that other hobbies or professions can't. So can any kind fellow help a guy out and give him the low-down on fishing?
