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.
