7 BEST local Fishing Tackle in St Helens QLD | Yellow Pages®

How to choose fishing tackle?

Many anglers find today's wide variety of fishing tackle confusing. So, if you are struggling to pick the right type of gear at a fishing tackle shop, you are not alone. Here are a few tips to help you:

• Select a fishing rod that is five and a half to six feet long to handle lures weighing between 1/12 and 1/3 ounce. This is a medium-light to medium rod.
• Go for a spin cast reel if you are new to fishing as this is easier to use than a spinning reel. However, bear in mind that spinning reels hold more line and can cast farther than a spin cast one.
• Use the lightest line possible. Most anglers should be able to fish with a six-pound test line all day and never lose a fish.

Price is an important consideration so buy your tackle at the best value from a fishing tackle store. On the lookout for cheap fishing tackle shops? Why not browse our online listings to discover options for a fishing tackle near you?
