This must sound like such a beginners question, but how does one figure out what size to buy the different components of a setup?
I read up on here, wrote a list of different stuff to buy, hooks, swivel barrels, etc, went to Dicks' and was overwhelmed with the stuff that everything comes in different sizes, size 2, size 0 etc. etc.
Do these sizes mean something standard in the fishing world? I'm in the NY/MA area, surf fishing for stripers. We are using a spinning reel on 8ft & 9ft rods.
Also (at the risk of exposing how much of a noob I am,) I tried to find picture diagrams of whole rig setups but there are very few of those... its hard for a beginner to visual especially learning all the lingo in the process. Any ideas?
