Unsure exactly where this post should go, so have thrown it into the softbait area in hope that someone can help out...
I'm heading across to Central (mexico, guatemala, costa rica etc) and South America for 4 months (leaving in 4 weeks time) and am looking at buying a decent set-up so I can do a bit of fishing out there. Am sure it will be a mix of salt and freshwater fishing, beaches, rocks, rivers, lakes. My guess is that I'll need something like an 8kg spin set-up (that can break down into 4 pieces for traveling). Anyone have any suggestions other than that - or even better, does anyone have any experience fishing in Central or South America?
I'm guessing I'll take out some softbaits and lures to cover my bases. Am sure the locals will have their own interesting methods to show me too.
Appreciate any advice you guys might have.
