Fishing Tackle Boxes

Unless you are a live bait fisherman, fishing tackle boxes are going to be a staple in your angling gear. Heck, even if you are a live bait fisherman, you are still going to need a place to store your hooks, line, weights, bobbers, and other tools, right? So pretty much, a fishing tackle box is a must have accessory, so I don’t really need to go too much into detail on that, but what we will cover are a few different types of tackle boxes for fishing that will help save you some frustration on the water.

Rod and Reel Combos

Fishing rod and reel combos come in a lot of different sizes, and labels such as weight, and actions. What these terms refer to are the weight of line that the rod can hold, as well as the whipping action of the tip of the rod. If the rod is labelled as heavy action, it is a heavier duty rod with more backbone and tip than smaller rods will contain.

Baitcast Reels

A baitcast reel comes in all shapes and sizes, ranging from the conventional round reel, to the extreme low profile baitcast reels that you typically find on tournament quality bass fishing tackle. The reason that you see so many of these reels around, especially the vintage models, is because of the durability that these types of reels provide.

Saltwater Fishing Reels

Fishing reels are typically designed to take a beating, but when you introduce them to saltwater, what you usually find out is that they weren't specifically built to handle the tough conditions, and will quickly rust on you. Thankfully, saltwater fishing reels are built to handle the abuse that the harsh water can put them through, and as long as you properly clean your gear when you are done fishing, you can get a long life out of your saltwater fishing reel.

Sport Fishing Tackle

There are a lot of different sports that offer competitors the thrill of the chase, but among the top has got to be competitive sport fishing. These types of tournaments range from everything to largemouth and smallmouth bass, to Musky, Pike, and even giant Redfish, Tarpon, and Kingfish off the coasts of Florida.

Crankbaits

Fishing crankbaits is a very exciting way to catch fish. When you get a reaction strike from a fish while using a crankbait, they end up hitting it like a freight train.

Braided Fishing Line

There are a few good reasons so many anglers are making the switch to braided fishing line. The durability, sensitivity, as well as having zero stretch provide anglers with the edge they need.

Rapala Fishing Lures

Rapala Fishing Lures came around the industry back before there ever really was an industry. In 1936, anglers began seeing more and more of these fishy looking lures; the movement quickly took over.

Trout Bait

If you have been trout fishing for any length of time, you have probably figured out that certain trout bait that is just right for you. However, if you haven't, then this article is going to help you out a lot.

Pen Fishing Rod Review

When most people take a look at the Pen Fishing Rod, they will probably discount it as some novelty item, or gag gift, even a child’s toy perhaps. This is a huge mistake, because even though this little rod and reel can’t catch huge fish, you can still have a lot of fun with it. I personally love taking it to small retention ponds and slaying the ever so eager panfish that are over populated in them.

Instant Fisherman Fishing Tackle

I had never really heard of this before I stumbled on it one day, but I knew that I had to have one once I saw the video. The way that the Instant Fisherman is designed is like most other travel rods, but there is just something about this “Instant Fisherman Rod” that I can’t get over. I’ll talk about a few of the features in a second. When I finally received it, I was actually pretty shocked at the way it is constructed. This thing looks and feels durable, so I think I may get a few years of enjoyment from it.
