Have you got somewhat of a budget that you feel you can spend.

First - need rod/holders - can be bought or made
Rods - how big is your boat - what size rods do you feel you can handle
Reels - these can be at all price range - mainly something that you can put line
on as a holding spot.
Tolling Mtr - what kind are you wanting - short term - long term multi uses.
After a while - when you get into type of baits - jigs - zips - cranks - double/single
hook sets
Weights - multi sizes etc.

Might start by making your complete "wish list" than start putting costs to it
(new - used ) yard sale - closeouts - e-bay etc.

Just some thoughts my friend
