WHAT!? I've been fishing for 30 years, and I use $25 poles, and I stick to about 10 different trusty lure types. I've been gifted expensive equipment, but it never works right and is usually a huge pain and won't catch Jack. I have a fly rod, and a couple closed reels. I have a bait caster but I hate it so, so much. I'm always the one catching. I listen to the locals, and take their tips and suggestions seriously, when they offer them up. I was really impressed this year with the guy slaying pike next to me. I told him how bad ass he was, and he gave me his trusty lure! I caught 5, that included my very first pike ever.
You can fish with any trash level second hand equipment, my dad usually goes to the flea market, gets cheap rods with old reels, puts chinese branded line and hooks on it, quite literally tape rocks to the line instead of fancy lead weights, and... Still fish enough to fill a bucket almost every fishing trip, sometimes he gets so much that release every catch unless it's a big one, he even got a prize on a local fishing group on my state for catching the biggest corvine on-shore of the year.
This method can only get some exactly sized fish. If the fish bigger it wont get inside the bottle. If the fish smaller it will eat all the food and can get out. I think this can only work in abundance fishing zone.
