Land the Big One this Year with the Right Fishing Rod, Reel & Tackle

You’re a lot more likely to land the big one if you’ve got the right fishing tackle. That starts with a rod and reel combo well suited to both you and the type of fishing you’re doing. A spincast reel is ideal for beginners as it’s easy to use and rarely causes line tangles. Spinning reels require a bit more skill but they’re a great all-purpose option for a wide variety of fish species and habitats. Specialized bass fishing rods and trout fishing rods are also available. Smaller children may be more comfortable with a kid's fishing rod. If you’re heading out in winter you’ll want an ice fishing rod, along with an ice auger and portable ice shelter.

Whichever rod and reel you choose, make sure you get all the tackle you’ll need too. Rigging your lines will require fishing lures, swivels, floats, sinkers, and leader lines. You can also find pre-assembled fishing rigs for going after specific types of fish. Make sure your fishing line is also rated for the type of fish you’re after. A good tackle box will keep all your fishing gear secure in one place. A fishing net is helpful for hauling your prize catch into the boat, and a fish scale is handy for weighing it back on shore. If your fish is destined for the grill, you can either cook it whole or use a fillet knife for proper prepping and deboning.
