An equipment selecting system for assisting in selecting optimal fishing equipment for catching a desired type of fish comprising:
- a correlating device displaying a first reference and a second reference, wherein said first reference is adapted to indicate a type of fish selected from a plurality of types of fish;
- a plurality of prepackaged fishing kits, each optimized for fishing for one of said plurality of types of fish;
- a label affixed to each of said prepackaged fishing kits;
- wherein said second reference is adapted to match up with said label on one of said plurality of prepackaged fishing kits that are optimized for fishing for said type of fish selected from said plurality of types of fish;
- and
- wherein said prepackaged fishing kits comprise a rod, reel and tackle.
A method of selecting fishing equipment for catching a desired type of fish comprising the steps of:
- manipulating a correlating device to display a first reference adapted to indicate a selected type of fish and a second reference adapted to match up with a label on a prepackaged fishing kit optimized for fishing for the selected type of fish;
- matching said second reference with said label on said prepackaged fishing kit optimized for fishing for the selected type of fish;
- selecting the fishing kit indicated by said second reference, said prepackaged fishing kit comprising:
- a rod having characteristics that are optimal for fishing for said selected type of fish;
- a reel having characteristics that are optimal for fishing for said selected type of fish;
- and
- fishing tackle having characteristics that are optimal for fishing for said selected type of fish.
