If you're going on a fishing trip and don't know what to bring? You are in the right place. In this post, we'll discuss the equipment for your trip and much more.
Ok, let's get straight to the point. We all know that when you have a day more and you're leaving for that fishing trip you're too excited and you can't sleep. Now, let me tell you how to fix that.
You can't.
Now that we've clarified this unfixable problem let's focus on more important things, like location. Location is the most important aspect in fishing. It doesn't matter if you've been to that place before because you just might find America again. So yeah, going to a place that you've never fished on it's not just a mystery, but an expedition too.
Good. We can now focus on the equipment. What do you take in?
Rods!
It doesn't matter what you fish for, the most important thing that you must normally have are rods! Multiple rods if you can, because a lot of things can happen. Like:
Your rod just taking a usual dive, never to be found again.
The monster Catfish breaks the rod.
The wrong rod.
The last one shouldn't ever happen to you, because it happened to me, and you don't want to find out how that's feeling. That's why you're here. To learn from my beginner mistakes.
If you're fishing with a traditional rod, you basically need just the rod, line, some hooks, and bait like maggots.
But if you're in a more complex job like spinning or bottom fishing, you will need a lot more stuff.
Now, the bigger the trip, the bigger the stuff, but I will tell you what I think it's necessary to take with you so you won't find yourself without one more lure, or with 20 boxes of them.
Lines!
You must have one more role of line besides the line that's already on the reel. It can be the same size, type, and strength, or it can be another type of line in case you find yourself surrounded by more aggressive fish. You can find more about lines in another blog post.
Lures!
If you're fishing for that giant pike or musky you must have lures. But how many? I'll not go into a deep rabbit hole on lures here, but you can find a post on my blog that has been entering it. The answer to the previous question is,, not a lot ''.
I still remember the day I caught my first pike. I had one lure with me. ONE!. The only thing I knew about fishing at that time was that the lure had to get in the water. And the lure that I had with me was this one:
Yes! A 3 cm lure on a micro-weighted hook. And I caught the pike in 30 minutes.
The Moral of the story is:
The more lures you have the fewer fish you catch.
So, my suggestion is to have a little bit of everything like:
2-3 Spoons
4-5 Swimbaits
3-4 Wobblers
I don't recommend taking more than this, because otherwise, the opportunity is going to be so big that at every 2 casts, you'll change the lure.
Hooks!
If you do have just the unrigged swimbaits, you'll need for sure some jig hooks like these ones:
Clips!
Clips are a friendly item that needs to be attached to the end of your line, helping you install lures far more easily. I recommend a handful of those. (They're pretty cheap)
OK! Let's talk about must-have accessories.
1. Scissors.
You can buy smaller and sharper ones like these
2. Pliers
You must have those when you try to remove the hook from a fish's mouth
Clothing!
It finally came the time to talk about clothes. What do you wear?
Answer: Doesn't matter.
From hunter's clothing to businessman it does not matter. What matters is the comfort that you have when wearing those clothes.
Exactly about this, we'll talk about, comfort. In the morning you must have double-layer pants, thick socks, hoodies, jackets, and even hats and gloves. But be sure that during the day you can easily get off some of those thicker clothes.
Shoes!
Here, you can't really choose pairs. I recommend having an impervious pair of shoes and a pair of tall boots.
Ok!!!!!!! We finally came to an end.
I hope you enjoyed the content and learned that sleeping well before a fishing trip is an unattainable prize!
