| Right Fishing Tackle Can Mean Big Catch |
Heading out to the lake, stream, pond or river to do a little angling, you are going to need the right fishing tackle in order to catch what you are after. Your experience and ability will also come into play, but if you use the wrong tackle, your chance of having a good day fishing is diminished. Whether bottom fishing, fly-fishing or somewhere in between the right fishing tackle will help get the bait where it needs to be.
For some, the right fishing tackle is a bamboo pole, a string and a hook that they can attach a bait, drop in the water, sit on the bank and get a suntan. For others, their fishing tackle include fiberglass or graphite rod with fancy reel loaded with artificial bait, while zipping around in a mammoth boat seeking the next hot spot with their depth finder. Mater temperature gauges and dept-finders are part of the arsenals of the more prolific anglers as they use all forms of technology to beat their prey.
The term fishing tackle encompasses many different items used for fishing. It includes rods, reels, line and various baits and lures. You can also get a wide range of products from cheap to extremely expensive and many contend that regardless of the price and quality of the fishing tackle used, the ability of the person using it makes the difference.
Type Of Fishing Determines Type Of Equipment
A person can spend several hours of their day fishing and only a few minutes catching fish. There are different techniques for catching different species of fish and each person has their own method that works for them, just as they have their favorite fishing tackle on which to catch them. However, different types of fishing do require the right fishing tackle. For example, if you are fly fishing, a fly rod, reel and line are needed, as you cannot cast a fly onto the river or stream using a bait-casting reel.
You also cannot cast a half-ounce lure with a fly rod nor can you troll behind your boat. Spin cast reels are used for a wide variety of fishing styles and closed-faced reels were designed to make line tangling less likely. Bait casting reels had a bad reputation for what is called backlash, that could cause the line to become so wrapped up in itself it sometimes had to be cut to be straightened out. How they can be part of the right fishing tackle for trolling or for short casts from the shore or from a boat. |
