In that case, you could use the CrucianHunter 3000, with a max drag of 3 kg (6.50 lb.), the InspireCast 3000 (2.9 kg / 6.40 lb.), the WinCast 2500 (2.9 kg / 6.40 lb.), Espira Slim 2500 (2.9 kg / 6.40 lb.), etc. You would then choose a reel that has an equal, or slightly lower max drag. It has a max line weight of 3 kg (6.50 lb.). The first feeder rod you can get is the CreekPro 240 (7'10'), which unlocks at level 3. Like with every setup, you should first choose the rod you'd like to use. But, to get you started, here's the basics: Like it would be easier for us to give you advice, if you could provide us with your current level.

Some stuff only unlocks later in the game, and it's hard to find suitable line/leader/reel/rod combos that won't break your gear, but on the other hand will max out your rod. I'm sure others will come along who are more knowledgeable about the game (and fishing in general tbh) to help you out but there's something to get you going.It's really not that easy to build a well-balanced feeder setup, since the leaders, lines, and reels make it hard to max out your gear - especially when you're still leveling.

Lots of good videos on YouTube to help you out too, if you need more in-depth advice.

I'd recommend setting up a rod with a casting spoon to catch bass where you're at (Lone Star Lake, unless you've moved on already) for money and xp, though doing the missions are a decent way to supplement your cash and xp since you'll be there for a while anyway. Nothing wrong with a bobber setup I guess, I just don't like it in the game, which is funny since I usually always fish irl with a bobber setup and/or a bottom setup, only using a lure if I'm not getting any good bites off of my normal setups (location matters too though, but that's getting technical) I'm no expert (I do fish irl but it's always been either using a bobber, which I don't use in-game, using a lure or fishing bottom with just a sinker or two) but I use a rod with a open-faced reel a lure (forget what the rod types and reel types are called in-game, forgive me) for catching predatory fish like bass and such, and a bottom setup (believe for an early bottom setup you can use what they call 'feeder' rods in-game) to fish for (depending on the map) either more of what I'm catching with the lure setup or something different
