Recommended Tackle
There is a lot of hoopla and hype in the marketing of fishing tackle, just like in most things. It can be hard to separate the substance from the sizzle. I have tried to do that to the best of my ability on this site by highlighting some things that have worked well for me. These are my recommendations for the best high end, midrange, and budget range tackle that I know of. These are my unbiased opinions as I am not compensated by any of these tackle companies. I don't care what brand you buy, and I get no compensation from any company. Most of the fish profiled on this website (at least in my photos) were caught on tackle described on this site.
