Well I'll let the United thing slide due to the family connection. lol. At least it's not Tottenham. I lived on that side of the pond for 4 years (North London, supported Arsenal) and made it up to Old Trafford once to see an international friendly with England and Sweden.

You have a lot of choices but I would recommend for trout a 6' to 6'6 ultralite to lite action rod with a light spinning reel and 4 LBS test mono line.

For bass a 6'6 to 7' medium to medium/heavy rod with a decent line-capacity spinning reel. I use 8 LBS test mono myself but you can go heavier test depending on how much structure there is in the waters you fish.

Those are my basic set-ups, when you get familiar with waters you can start to experiment with fluoro and braided lines for bass and even a baitcaster set-up if you will primarily be using lures. Best of luck, if you are looking at getting on the water soon the timing is very good as many of the rivers are being stocked weekly with trout.
