Below is a rundown of what helps make up the fundamental sea fishing tackle that anglers ought to have with them on their fishing trips.
Fishing rod and reel
Naturally, the very first factor that comes to mind on the subject of sea fishing tackle will be the fishing rod and the accompanying reel. This is the most fundamental item in a very fisherman’s gear due to the fact you basically can’t fish with out it!

Fixed Spool
Reels
As the name
suggests the
spool is fixed
in position and
the bale arm
rotates around
the spool when
the handle is
turned and this
lays the line in
an even manner
up and down the
spool core. The
spool moving up
and down a
central rod
system creates
this evenness.
This action
occurs
simultaneously
when the reel
handle is
turned. |
 Parts of a fixed spool reel: 1: bail arm 2: Reel seat 3: Reel foot 4: Handle 5: Support arm 6: Anti-reverse lever 7: line spool 8: Fishing line 9: Drag adjustment knob

Multiplier Reels
Most
multipliers have a
braking system, some
have 2 systems, these
are tiny pieces of
plastic that are fitted
to the ends of metal
spigots that are fixed
to a central metal rod
that is through the
centre of the spool
drum. The secondary
system can be oil or
more brake blocks, this
is very much dependent
upon the brand and type
of reel. The way they
work is that the initial
cast forces the spool to
freely rotate at high
speed; this is turn
creates centrifugal
force that forces the
brake blocks to be
“thrown out” against the
sides of the spool,
thereby applying inner
drag to the drum. It is
very similar to the
brakes of your car. Some
reels do not have a
secondary braking system
and are prone to birds’
nests as the line coming
off the spool tries to
catch up with the line
that has already been
pulled off by the weight
of the lead flying
through the air. As the
weight slows down the
spool does not realise
this and keeps on going,
with no secondary brakes
to slow it down…..

Fishing line The fishing line is the "cord" used to reel in the catch. It comes in distinct strengths or pound-tests. What pound-test fishing line you use depends upon the kind of fish you are planning to catch. Usually, the more popular fishing lines have a pound-test of 8 to 16. |

 |
Hooks The hooks basically hook the fish that go for your bait. The type of the hook that you need to use depends on the type of the fish you’re heading for. |

Swivels A fishing swivel is a small device consisting of two rings connected to a pivoting joint. The device is usually made of metal, and the pivoting joint is usually ball- or barrel-shaped. The line from a rod and reel is tied to one end, and a length of fishing line, often terminated by a hook, lure or sinker, is tied to the other. The main purpose of the swivel is to allow the line to untwist during line retrieval, preventing undesirable tangling. This is particularly important for users of monofilament test line. A secondary benefit of the fishing swivel is that it may stop a sliding sinker, which depending on fishing method may be placed before or after the swivel. Snap swivels have a safety-pin like clip linked to one of the rings

Tackle box The tackle box is the container where you save all the tiny objects that make up your sea fishing tackle. It really is usually most effective to keep the tackle box organized. |
|
Various Weights There arevarious weights for various conditions and methods of fishing. Grip leads, bomb weight, bullets, etc etc see rigs |

Floats Used for catching, mackerel, bass, pollock, garfish and other species |
Utility knife
Bait
Baits come in a wide selection of forms and colours. (see bait page)
