Hello and welcome to the site. For line depends on what fish ur after if ur going to fish canals use 3lb or 4lb line. Lakes use 4lb for silver fish on float road. 6lb for ledgering 8lb or 10lb+ for carp fishing. Bait depends on where u fish maggots, worms, sweetcorn, luncenmeat pellets and bread work well for most fish and places. 12ft rods are the most common size.
