For my 52nd birthday yesterday I received a John Wilson Six Shooter travel rod and "matching" Rovex baitcaster reel.
This was more unexpected and amazing than you can imagine, not least because I haven't fished seriously for 35+ years!
So could anyone please steer me a bit on line (braid?) and lures? I want to fish for perch in my local bit of the Thames (anywhere between Richmond and Hampton Court) and right now I just want to catch something, whatever the size!
I was very taken with this vid

because it's so near where I live.
So, rod and reel aside, is that the sort of thing I need?
Many thanks in advance!
