It's hard to give advice to someone who has never fished before on this forum. First of all I would not spend a lot of money on equipment until you got used to fishing. Do you have a boat? Are you interested in fresh water or salt water fishing? Spinning reels are generally easier to use than bait casting reels. etc....
