After switching over to matching rod and reels, I can tell you, there are very few disadvantages. The overwhelming advantages are that fishing rod and reel operates the same. So when switching from one bait to another (on different rods), the rod and reel operation doesn't change. This gives you consistency. You eliminate adapting to the idiosyncrasies of different reels. And besides the different rod actions and varying line choices, each handles almost the same. This leads to more consistent casting and better lure presentation.
If you're a new fisherman, you need to have some knowledge of what you're doing. You need to do some research before you decide to jump in. There are tons of books with great information that will help you learn the ins and outs of fishing. With this information at your fingertips, you will be sure to get the catch of the day.
A depth finder is very helpful when fishing from a boat. Your depth finder helps you to know when you're reaching dangerously shallow water, as well as judge where you should cast your line to to be able to reach the fish.
As a general rule, you should try and match your lures with whatever bait inhabit the eare you are fishing. For instance, if your fishing spot contains lots of crawdads, choose a lure with the same colors as a crawdad's body.
It is important to have safety foremost in your mind while fishing. Try to look for a lake or pond that does not have any current or any overhanging branches that could tangle your line. If you want to fish in deep water or running water, take a good life jacket with you. Although it can be fun to fish while sitting in a small boat, your personal safety is paramount.
Places with many plants and weeds can sometimes be frustrating. Although these hazards are irritating and may snag your line, this type of area is far more appealing to fish because it is home to bugs and natural prey.

This is most true in fast-moving or murky water or after you catch a fish. To revive the flavor of the worm, simply rub it between your palms.
