You may have got the best rod and the best bait out there, but without effective fishing knots, your big catch may well become a big miss! Most of the break-offs in fishing can be caused by badly tied knots, so it is imperative you familiarize yourself with a number of reliable fishing knots in order to stay afloat with the hobby.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify;" class="MsoNormal">Choose the right knots for your own style and for the fish you are trying to catch, and tie them correctly, using either printed instructions or a video lesson, and be sure to take your time when doing so. Once tied, lubricate the knot with a little liquid and then draw it tight.</p><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify;" class="MsoNormal">A good fishing enthusiast only needs maybe three or four reliable fishing knots in their arsenal, but be sure that the fishing knots you choose are suitable for the kind of fishing that you do.</p><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify;" class="MsoNormal">Choose the most effective knots for your own style of fishing and for the general type of fish you are trying to catch, and test them out until you are very familiar with the practice of tying them correctly. That's a very important factor - you need to be able to tie these knots easily and quickly without having to use any reference.</p><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify;" class="MsoNormal">Be it the Albright knot, the Clinch knot or the useful Palomar knot, make sure you can tie it accurately and firmly, and make sure it is lubricated before it is used.</p><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify;" class="MsoNormal">Don't try and get it perfect all at once- as with any aspect of the hobby, it can only be perfected over time with a little patience and dedication, so do expect to get it wrong a few times before you tie the perfect knot for your own fishing adventures. The very best fishing knots advice is simple: Find your most effective knot and learn to employ it quickly and accurately.</p>Jacksonjiphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15160232424182928214noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-846729063230282020.post-86120872918563212262010-06-02T11:58:00.001+07:002010-06-02T12:12:52.137+07:00Fishing Equipment: Fly Fishing For Bass, Choosing the Best Fly Rod For Bass<div style="text-align: justify;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieZGpblSQwvy9i0lGik4rapbA7HRmscYA2PUSITOCZVhlGtBwpVz46sdxSV1tdG0xUDs-1a0HR0NhqZNG1X9k0WOs3twHnUElJIQAKO4RFhPSPb7R3I2IWG4qKABWCTUg6A7X1XmWMtIE/s1600/fly+fishing+blonde.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 211px; height: 274px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieZGpblSQwvy9i0lGik4rapbA7HRmscYA2PUSITOCZVhlGtBwpVz46sdxSV1tdG0xUDs-1a0HR0NhqZNG1X9k0WOs3twHnUElJIQAKO4RFhPSPb7R3I2IWG4qKABWCTUg6A7X1XmWMtIE/s320/fly+fishing+blonde.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5478039527918354418" border="0" /></a> Bass are one of, if not the most popular fish in the Americas. Not only are they incredible fighters, but at least one species of bass can be found in almost any body of water from Canada, throughout the U.S. and into South America. Although not near as popular as bait casting and spin fishing, one of the best thrills in fishing is catching bass on a fly rod. Before you can do this though, you will need a Bass Fly Fishing setup. Here we will discuss the aspects that should be taken into account when choosing the best fly rod for bass, which is not as straight forward as it sounds! Bass come in many different sizes, strengths and species, and require different techniques for different situations. Let's take a look at these aspects and then you can go through the link at the end to my website where we will talk more about brands and models of fly rods for bass.</div><div style="text-align: justify;" id="body"><p><b>Size</b>: what weight fly rod will be best for Bass?</p><p>Bass come in all different sizes that vary widely with respect to species. The species not only determines size, but also strength. For instance, a Small Mouth Bass has the ability to put up as much fight as some fish twice its size. This needs to be taken in to account when choosing the best fly rod for Bass. All bass start out small, but can grow to large sizes. Therefore it is suggested that you go with a bass fly rod that is designed for the larger end of the spectrum. You will not want to be weak in back bone when you need it. Here is a generic list of species and the weights that are recommended for each.</p><p>• Small Mouth Bass (0-8 lbs): 6-7wt</p><p>• Large Mouth Bass (0-10 lbs): 7-8wt</p><p>• Striper Bass, freshwater (5-15 lbs): 8-10wt</p><p>• Stripers Bass, Saltwater (10-30 lbs): 10wt</p><p>• Peacock Bass (3-20 lbs): 8-10wt</p><p>• Rainbow Bass (1-8 lbs): 8wt</p><p><b>Rod Action</b>: determines how a rod casts.</p><p>When fly fishing for Bass, typically you will be using heavy flies that will take some back bone to get out of the water and to get any distance. A stiff, fast action fly rod will be able to best cast weighted flies, sink tips and wind catching poppers. If you go with a rod that is too soft, you will be struggling to get the fly out of the water.</p><p><b>Fly Lines for Bass:</b></p><p>Bass can be fished with many different methods. Different types of line will be needed to cover all tactics. For instance, when using top water poppers, a floating line will be needed. When using bait fish imitations, a sinking line will be the best to get the fly to the fish. For this reason it is best to use a line that can be used for multiple situations, which is a line that has interchangeable tips: floating with multiple sink tips for different sink rates. For more information on lines, follow the link at the end of this article.</p><p><b>Rod Quality:</b></p><p>Rod quality ranges widely. With increases in quality, obviously price will increase. There is a wide range in prices from the cheap Wal-Mart combo setup at $40 to a high end $700 dollar rod.</p><p>There are <b>two criteria</b> I suggest everyone stick with for any rod for any fish.<br /><b>Number 1</b>: buy the highest quality rod you can afford.<br /><b>Number 2:</b> Make sure any rod you purchase comes with a lifetime warranty. To get a rod with a lifetime warranty, you will need to spend at least $200. It may sound like a lot, but it is worth it when you figure you will be making an investment to last a lifetime.</p><p>You have probably broken a rod or several in the past, and most likely it will happen again whether it be on a fish or your car door. When choosing the best fly rod for bass, remember that you will be using hard to cast flies, so you the better the rod, the easier time you will have. Those spendier rods do work hard and are worth it if you can fit one into your budget.</p> </div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;" id="sig" class="sig"> <p><b>Conclusion:</b></p><p>Several rod makers build rods that are designed for bass of all species. There are many different sizes to choose from, and they do get expensive, so you will want to make sure you go with the right Bass fly rod the first time.

However, any art student begins with certain fundamentals and then creates his or her own techniques by building on these fundamentals. I would encourage the reader of this article to look into other advice beyond that related here to devise his or her own approach with which they are comfortable. This is how the author advises those whom are new to the sport and are fishing a new area and looking for a methodical approach.</div><div style="text-align: justify;" id="body"><p>Initial Research</p><p>Know as much about the trout stream as you can. Know what hatches may be occurring at various times of the year. Know which species of trout are present. Try to develop a knowledge of fly types that work on the water you will be fishing. Whether streamer flies, nymphs, or dry flies, try to get as specific information as you can get. Know specific colors and sizes and have as many of those sizes as possible.</p><p>This information is available on the internet through regional forums as well as traditional websites (see resource box below). Also, local fly shops are a great source for information and doubly so if you have the courtesy to actually make a purchase relevant to the advice you receive. This is kind of analagous to hiring a fishing guide. You may pay a bit more for your purchase the first time, but you then have gleaned the information you need to make future purchases via discount retailers if you so choose.</p><p>Approaching the Water</p><p>You cannot go splashing into the water and start looking around for a good spot to fish. Reading the water is best done from a short distance back and is not a snap decision. If the water is clear enough where you can site fish, this means they can see you as well. You may have to make a crawling approach at times. You need to make a decision based on your own skills. Great water with an overhanging bush is not an option if you cannot roll a cast into this water.</p><p>Depending on what you will be fishing, dries or nymphs/streamers, make a wise decision on the water you will fish. If you will be fishing dries, and you are a beginner, consider a slower current stretch where you can get a longer drift before drag starts to affect your line. If you will fish pocket water, think about drifting your offering into the pocket in the manner the current will naturally bring food downstream. This is usually done while fishing nymphs. Whether you use a strike indicator is a personal decision, but may be helpful for the beginner to detect strikes.</p><p>Fly Offerings</p><p>I am not a dry fly purist. I enjoy most catching fish that have risen to a dry, but if the fish are not rising to a hatch, I have no qualms about fishing below the surface. In fact, generally speaking, I fish streamers and nymphs unless I see a reason to switch to a dry. Once trout begin rising to feed, then I will usually switch to a dry. However, there are even times, say when there is an enormous hatch and very few fish are rising to feed, when I will stay with the streamers and nymphs. If there are millions of critters landing on the water and only a few fish rising to them, what chance does my one elk hair caddis or adams fly have?</p><p>Often, I will begin fishing the early part of the day with nymphs and streamers in pocket water and deep pools. Often I will switch quite a few times and then hit on something where every drift is eliciting a take. When this stops producing, I assume that the fish gods have told the fish to stop biting, stop biting that fly, or I have sufficiently disrupted that stretch of water. I will usually try a few additional offerings, and if I have no success, move to a new stretch of water.</p><p>As evening approaches, I am particularly alert to hatches and/or rising trout. There is nothing more satisfying than a take on a dry. If possible, be able to identify the hatch and/or what the trout are rising to, and as they say, "match the hatch." Sometimes a rough facsimile of the hatch will suffice if an exact match is not at hand. Be willing to experiment. Often, very subtle differences matter. Even for an experienced fisherman, a new body of water can be a challenge. If you are pretty sure that the stream holds fish, be willing to go back a few times even if at first you do not have success. Just like your casting skills, your other fishing skills will build over time, and there is a lot of satisfaction in becoming well versed in a certain body of water.</p><p>We hope the tips serve you well.</p> </div>Jacksonjiphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15160232424182928214noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-846729063230282020.post-30157164079599842522010-06-02T11:42:00.003+07:002010-06-02T12:10:03.933+07:00Fishing Equipment: Fly Fishing Without Using Fly Fishing Gear<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKAvWPLoq9QWFTfqWrswbxHO1fzKDr2xA0Omkksq_cveWozyNAkiDJhZugN9dNg1Lt-6m3RtIISE1kEyzbkzTqgnKEmZuJKfj6K1UsNWgePk5u-ZslrYbfxw2qyrK0UOt8tV5CxtIN9mM/s1600/PaulFlyFishing.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 216px; height: 324px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKAvWPLoq9QWFTfqWrswbxHO1fzKDr2xA0Omkksq_cveWozyNAkiDJhZugN9dNg1Lt-6m3RtIISE1kEyzbkzTqgnKEmZuJKfj6K1UsNWgePk5u-ZslrYbfxw2qyrK0UOt8tV5CxtIN9mM/s320/PaulFlyFishing.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5478035466750483650" border="0" /></a> <span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">A Trout Fishing Technique</span><div style="text-align: justify;" id="body"><p>Fly fishing has been well known as a great method for catching trout for many, many years, but what if you are a trout fisherman who doesn't fly fish? If you don't fly fish, you are probably under the impression that fishing with flies is not a possibility for you. This is actually not the case and this article will explain a very effective trout fishing technique for fly fishing without having to use fly fishing gear.</p><p>The entire act of fly fishing has always seemed like too much of "a production" to me to be a viable fishing alternative, but using artificial flies for fishing (and for trout fishing in particular) has always intrigued me because of their obvious effectiveness. The bottom line is that fishing with artificial flies can be accomplished without the use of traditional fly fishing gear, and the answer lies in the use of a casting bubble.</p><p>Using casting bubbles as a way to fly fish while using traditional spin fishing gear is an excellent trout fishing technique for any serious trout angler to add to their fishing repertoire. A casting bubble is simply a small clear "bubble" (much like a bobber) that slips onto your fishing line providing weight for casting lightweight flies. The "bubble" is then retrieved slowly with the fly to tow. Casting bubbles can be used to fish both wet and dry flies effectively. Casting bubbles are easy to use and an excellent fishing technique to learn and employ for many species of fish, but especially for trout.</p><p>When using a casting bubble and fly it's very important to be able to <i>see</i> not only the bubble itself while it in being retrieved, but in some cases the fly itself as well. This is why it's important to wear a quality pair of polarized glasses when using this <a target="_new" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.jrwfishing.com/sunglasses.html">trout fishing technique</a>. Polarized sunglasses cut through the glare and refraction of the sun as it reflects off of the water. Being able to <i>see</i> what's going on with your casting bubble and fly are very important, so a quality pair of polarized sun glasses are also very important when using this fishing technique.</p><p>The bottom line is that using a bubble to fish with a lightweight fly works and is an excellent technique to learn and have available when fishing for trout. If you've ever wanted to use flies as bait, but don't like the idea of "fly fishing" a casting bubble is the technique for you. It is the only way to go "fly fishing" without using traditional fly fishing gear.</p> </div>Jacksonjiphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15160232424182928214noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-846729063230282020.post-28814823786770211592010-06-02T11:39:00.003+07:002010-06-02T12:09:51.511+07:00Fishing Equipment: 7 Tips For Buying Fly Fishing Vests<div style="text-align: justify;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaFHyJ1JVrJ2E0E0LTPAeC5sVeIdpBcX1Nu8JdJiQpMuVyP6bGHeh2LD9xCc3dreEfrkMN0p32UUFUMRbvaw9cIwlMXOaZmo9RU-oe0M859JsbLEWGeGEg9tMO6P3z_EIgqzZ3f8Z8ntE/s1600/images.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 209px; height: 248px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaFHyJ1JVrJ2E0E0LTPAeC5sVeIdpBcX1Nu8JdJiQpMuVyP6bGHeh2LD9xCc3dreEfrkMN0p32UUFUMRbvaw9cIwlMXOaZmo9RU-oe0M859JsbLEWGeGEg9tMO6P3z_EIgqzZ3f8Z8ntE/s320/images.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5478032085512129986" border="0" /></a> If you are planning to engage yourself in fly fishing, you will need a lot of parts and accessories. You will need to take them with you, and the best way to do this is with fly fishing vests. These vests have huge number pockets where you can put away all your gear such as flies, lines, weights, etc.</div><div style="text-align: justify;" id="body"><p>Here are 7 tips to keep in mind when buying your fly fishing vest:</p><p>1. What weather conditions dominate in the area where you will be fly fishing? Weather and temperature are two important factors when it comes to buying your fishing vest. Get a mesh vest that is more ventilated if you will be fishing predominantly in warm weather conditions. For colder weather, buy a vest that is large enough to allow for layers underneath!</p><p>2. Fly fishing involves doing a lot of wading in water. For this reason, it's better to purchase a vest with a short waist. This way, your equipment will be above the waterline so you will avoid damaging it.</p><p>3. Take into consideration how much you will be taking with you. Large number of pockets is fantastic, but if you fill all of them up with equipment that is not necessary, you are going to weigh yourself down. On the other hand, try to find a vest with different sizes of pockets to hold the different things you will be taking with you.</p><p>4. It's very important that you can easily open and close the pockets in your vest. If at all possible, you should be able to do that with just one hand. Fly fishing vests that come with Velcro to seal pockets are the best option. It's a good idea to buy one with a "D-ring" on the back where you can put your net.</p><p>5. Once you fill your vest with the equipment you plan to carry with you, make sure that you can move easily. If you are weighed down too much, casting will be extremely complicated.</p><p>6. Vests are available in a variety of colors, and you will want to choose one that blends excellently with the vegetation of the area you will be fly fishing. Tan is recommended for fishing in the West and green will tone with the plant life of the East.</p><p>7. This last tip is very important. Get a vest with hardly any places where your line can get caught during casting. Lines and leaders often get caught on things that stick out on your vest such as fly patches, zippers, sunglass holders, etc.</p><p>Locate a vest that you can afford that meets these basic guidelines and you are ready to go.</p> </div>Jacksonjiphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15160232424182928214noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-846729063230282020.post-46651897051794514982010-06-02T11:34:00.003+07:002010-06-02T12:09:40.477+07:00Fishing Equipment: Fly Fishing Bubbles - Using a Casting Bubble to Fly Fish<div style="text-align: justify;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhv0Fq5qwDZ3_I3GHnxOcZlDSPBo68ADE-88h1qypj7NzdM6R99MWeVXYN1CPfDTbZHewJOp-Mn17LH5fq292dxAa-tvbP4H3BOxBflsoRKJ9KAyXVwnGs7j4QAhMqjJnblvl2GFHYoAIk/s1600/Flyfishing.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 213px; height: 327px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhv0Fq5qwDZ3_I3GHnxOcZlDSPBo68ADE-88h1qypj7NzdM6R99MWeVXYN1CPfDTbZHewJOp-Mn17LH5fq292dxAa-tvbP4H3BOxBflsoRKJ9KAyXVwnGs7j4QAhMqjJnblvl2GFHYoAIk/s320/Flyfishing.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5478030628677923282" border="0" /></a> If you have ever wanted to fish with artificial flies but don't necessarily have an interest in going to the time and expense of learning to fly fish you need to be introduced to the world of fly fishing bubbles. Fly fishing bubbles are the best way to fish lightweight flies without having to use traditional fly fishing gear.</div><div style="text-align: justify;" id="body"><p>In this article I will outline how to use a casting bubble to fly fish. Fly fishing bubbles have been around for a long time, and if you aren't familiar with them they can appear to be a traditional bobber. While a fly fishing bubble may look like a bobber, it is actually quite different. You see a fly fishing bubble is threaded onto your fishing line and "floats freely" on the line itself. The bubble is "stooped" by tying a swivel onto the end of your line. The bubble is then help underwater and "opened" to allow water <i>into</i> the bubble itself.</p><p>Adding water to the bubble gives you added weight for casting. In normal situations when you want to fish on the surface of the water the bubble is filled three quarters full of water. Fly fishing bubbles are most productive when fished in still water situations like lakes or ponds. Although this method of fishing flies can be done in rivers, it takes practice and shouldn't be attempted by a fisherman with little or no experience. For the beginner, the use of fly fishing bubbles should be reserved for lakes and ponds.</p><p>Using a casting bubble to fly fish is actually quite easy. The rig is set up like this: Thread the bubble through your fishing line with the thinner end of the stopper pointing towards the end of your rod. Now tie on a swivel act as a "stopper" for the bubble itself. A tapered leader is now added to the opposite end of the swivel and a fly is tied to the end of the leader. At this point the stopper is depressed on the bubble itself while holding it underwater. Once the bubble is three quarters full, close the stopper.<br />.<br />This rig is now cast into the water and retrieved <i>slowly</i>. When it comes to <a target="_new" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.jrwfishing.com/castingbubblecombo.html">fly fishing bubbles</a> a slow retrieve is normally best, although varying the speed of the retrieve can be effective as well. Experimentation is the key to success when it comes to fishing flies in this manner. If you would like to fish with wet flies rather than dry flies, your bubble should be filled completely with water. This way the bubble will sink under the water after being cast out. A bubble, when full, will sink approximately six inches per second.</p><p>The bottom line is that you now know how to use a casting bubble to fly fish. Now it's time to get out there and start experimenting. There is little doubt that with experience, this method of fishing will become one of your favorites. Artificial flies are effective for many species of fish from trout to large and small mouth bass and now as a traditional spin fisherman you know how you can fish effectively while using artificial flies.</p> </div>Jacksonjiphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15160232424182928214noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-846729063230282020.post-9127051864302435442010-06-02T11:32:00.004+07:002010-06-02T12:09:09.764+07:00Fishing Equipment: The Truth About Fly Fishing Lessons and Fly Fishing Tools<div style="text-align: justify;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5eTN9r3ypAAjVwNTNfL0OzB8syP-bQSk9qKnKmdtnAluLhpUjon974HmJFEtVaujT-7G4rP9n8O-5hHuNt_4D-8NRiXnov1UMU3VuOaUmzmRyndLOggxBHV6aTHgafpA-d_N3OoI1YlM/s1600/images.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 225px; height: 168px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5eTN9r3ypAAjVwNTNfL0OzB8syP-bQSk9qKnKmdtnAluLhpUjon974HmJFEtVaujT-7G4rP9n8O-5hHuNt_4D-8NRiXnov1UMU3VuOaUmzmRyndLOggxBHV6aTHgafpA-d_N3OoI1YlM/s320/images.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5478029977846813922" border="0" /></a> In this article I'm going to reveal some secrets about both fly fishing lessons and fly fishing tools. Fly fishing is a unique sport in both the fact that you can make some of your own equipment and that it is a sport that no one truly masters.</div><div style="text-align: justify;" id="body"><p>The unique properties of the sport make it a life long enjoyment for those that fly fish. Unlike other styles of fishing where one has perhaps a favorite lure or bait that always seems to work, fishing with flies is actually a daily experiment that encompasses learning which flies are working, what depth the fish are feeding at, and where exactly should you be casting that day.</p><p>If the fly fisher has to figure all of that out every time he hits the water one might wonder why anyone would bother with fly fishing lessons. The answer is quite simple: learn from other's experience. Even though successful fishing with flies requires making constant changes in your tactics an experience fly fisher can tell you how to narrow down the choices before you to a small selection of techniques that are most likely to work that day.</p><p>Good fly fishing lessons should not just cover basics like tying your leaders and at what depth you should start at but also cover how to recognize feeding patterns in the water, where to find the best places to cast and the life cycles of local insects. This style of fishing is truly more of a science than it is a sport, and good fly fishing lessons need to originate from that position.</p><p>The scientific aspect is also what draws many fly fishers to creating their own flies. Using fly fishing tools to make your own flies is in some circles considered the mark of a real fly fisher. Just like paying for fly fishing lessons won't make you an expert fisher, neither will buying fly fishing tools make you an expert fly tier, but there are a few things to be learned before you begin.</p><p>First off; quality is way more important than quantity. A few select quality fly tying tools are preferable to an entire box of tools of questionable quality. A great fly tier can do his work with just five items: a vise, scissors, pliers, a bobbin and some epoxy. These five items should be of the highest quality.</p><p>Before you can even begin to tie flies you'll need a good vise. A vise without good clamps will become useless very quickly. Once it is no longer able to hold your hook steady while you add feather, fur and thread it will need replaced. Much better to buy a high quality vise upfront that will last you a life time.</p><p>With your hook firmly secured in your vise the fly fishing tool that gets the most work will be your pliers. You'll want a set of hackle pliers, that remain closed in their normal position, so that they can be used with the least amount of effort. A good pair of hackle pliers can also do the work that many use forceps to do.</p><p>To complete your tool kit you'll need a good pair of scissors and a high quality bobbin. I recommend a 4 or 5 inch pair of scissors and a bobbin with a very smooth tube and adjustable tension. If you're only buying one pair of scissors initially, you'll want to make sure they come to a point so they can be used in close work.</p><p>There are lots of other tools that you can buy but these basic tools, when bought of good quality, will handle most of the work that needs to be done. Add some good epoxy to keep everything together and you have the making of a very good beginner or even advanced fly tying tool kit.</p><p>Even though this style of fishing takes years to master I hope that these few tips will help you get on your way. There is much more to learn, more information than even hundreds of articles like this could hold, but these secrets should get you started in the right direction.</p> </div>Jacksonjiphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15160232424182928214noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-846729063230282020.post-10971383813564410582010-06-02T11:04:00.003+07:002010-06-02T12:08:54.162+07:00Fishing Equipment: How to Buy a Fly Fishing Rod<div style="text-align: justify;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0KIaBwLmfEm1yhb4KbKQ_bk1zX3UdYgaV5gJuuAho03MEhgPwRC_dyQuGWhnn-BY0vaID5xPp_GQ80OIVWnAkgQLnUgTW-nn84KwN4eubErWgvf3ntDztSI47SBazKB0NIRL3IlNNLAY/s1600/images.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 211px; height: 279px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0KIaBwLmfEm1yhb4KbKQ_bk1zX3UdYgaV5gJuuAho03MEhgPwRC_dyQuGWhnn-BY0vaID5xPp_GQ80OIVWnAkgQLnUgTW-nn84KwN4eubErWgvf3ntDztSI47SBazKB0NIRL3IlNNLAY/s320/images.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5478029117597693458" border="0" /></a> Fly fishing is a tricky way of catching fish. Before you visit a store to buy a fly rod, take these things into consideration. These are very important factors in fly fishing, so read carefully. The first thing to keep in mind is the kind of fish you will be catching. In general, the heavier the fish, the heavier the equipment will be needed.</div><div style="text-align: justify;" id="body"><p>The second factor you need to think about is the body of water you plan to fish. For example, is it going to be a babbling brook, and a roaring river? The motion of the water is not the only thing to pay attention to. You also need to consider the clearness of the water, the wind and the distance you will need to cast to catch your fish.</p><p>Finally, you must take into account the action of the fly fishing rods. They are made to flex; and they do it in different ways. They can be slow or fast. It is crucial to get the feel of the rod. If you are a beginner, a rod somewhere in the medium range would be the best option.</p><p>Experienced anglers, who have been enjoying fishing for many years, typically have quite a few different fly rods. Each rod is designed to do a particular job. The size of the different rods is represented by a number. The larger the number the larger the rod. It also represents the line to be cast. For instance, a 3-weight rod can cast a 3-weight line.</p><p>Always keep in mind that the rod is just a continuation of your arm. It is the line that gets cast not the rod. You also need to take into account the weight of the fly. If the fly is too heavy the line will sag and will not cast as desired.</p><p>An additional feature to care about when buying a rod is the flexibility or the action of the rod. If you get a fast action rod, expect that only about 30% of the rod will bend. On the other hand, a slow action rod will bend about 90%. A medium action will bend about 60%. The slow action rod bends much easier than a fast action rod. However, the fast action rod casts farther than a slow action rod.</p><p>Today's best fly rods are made of the graphite. The introduction of the graphite enables the production of the faster action rods. These rods are not heavy and use more of the tip to project the fly line. The rod will do all the work for you if the line is cast properly. It is one of the biggest benefits of the fast action rod - the fisherman casting does less work.</p><p>In the end. Never buy a rod that you have not cast first.</p> </div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;" id="sig" class="sig"> <p>There is nothing more relaxing and enjoyable than to go fishing.

Carp can be a challenge to catch, but with the right fishing gear and know-how, you'll be amazed at how well you can do. To be successful, it's important to know how to catch a carp and how to properly care for one after you've caught him.</p><p>Making the Catch</p><p>Carp often like to group together; you don't often see one off by itself. This leads us to the first rule of catching a carp: there's strength in numbers, so ideally, you want to find a carp that is away from the group. Where are you most likely to find an isolated fish? Take your fishing gear to those tight spaces where the water's real deep, places that may appear to be an attractive safe haven for a carp.</p><p>Now carp are scared off easily, so you can't thrash around and expect to reel anything in. Take your time and be as quiet as possible. If you spot a carp, you can use any number of good lures such as carp bait which can include maggots, worms, pellets and so on. Throw the bait a meter or two in front of him so it looks natural to the carp. It may make him suspicious if a juicy worm suddenly "appears" from nowhere. Play it smart and you'll have him hook, line and sinker in no time!</p><p>Blimey, You've Got Him! Now What?</p><p>Now once you've caught the carp, the goal is to use your carp fishing gear to safely remove him from the water, weigh him, get a picture taken of the big catch and return him unharmed. All fish are vulnerable once removed from their aquatic habitation. You need a quality net that's large enough to ensure the struggling fish doesn't injure himself while flopping around. Carefully get him on the wet mat, then into the weigh sling.</p><p>If you don't have the camera ready to immediately photograph your triumphant moment, it's probably best to put the carp in a net or sack and temporarily put him back in the lake. Use a net if it will only be for a few minutes. For longer periods use the sack. Once the photos are done, gently return the carp to the water.</p><p>Carp fishing is a worthwhile sport in the UK: with the correct carp fishing equipment and these tips, you'll be ready to take those carp on in no time!</p></div><div style="text-align: justify;" id="sig" class="sig"><p>Ronan Bill is a fishing and hunting equipment professional and a part of KEENSTACKLEANDGUNS.

More and more, those who are interested in fishing as a serious sport have begun to discover the challenge these "big fish" have to offer. They have also discovered the importance of using the right equipment. And E.S.P. Fishing Tackle is a brand preferred by many carp fishermen.</p><p>The first thing you should keep in mind when choosing equipment is that carp are big, heavy fish. You can expect to catch them with your garden variety fishing rod or fishing pole. No, if you try to catch a carp with something that isn't strong enough to do the job, you can pretty much count on a broken line, and no fish to show for your efforts. So, if you're after carp, you need a sturdy, high quality rod and reel with a 15 pound test line.</p><p>Another thing to keep in mind is that carp are fighters. Don't expect to just catch one and reel it in. In fact, trying to do so is another way to get your line broken.</p><p>When fishing for carp, you have to look at it as a game. A game where patience is the best way to win. When you feel the carp at the end of your line, don't immediately try to reel it in. In fact, the opposite. Let your line out as much as possible so the carp can run with it. This will lull the fish into a false sense of security.</p><p>Once you've let the fish run for a bit, start reeling it in. But do it slowly. If you do it too hard and fast, the carp will know it's in danger, and will start fighting really hard. Not that you don't want the carp to struggle at all. In fact, you want the fish to tired itself out, which is what will happen with you pulling in one direction and the fish trying to swim in the other. But, if the fish gets upset enough to really fight, you could end up losing them.</p><p>So just keep reeling in slow and steady. This will tire the fish out enough not to put up a real fight, and will bring him close enough for you to pull him out of the water.</p><p>Finding equipment strong enough to handle carp can be tough. Fortunately, E.S.P. Fishing Tackle has plenty of rods available that are more than strong enough to handle a 10 or 20 pounder.</p></div><div style="text-align: justify;" id="sig" class="sig"><p>Written by Glen Buchanan, <a id="link_89" target="_new" href="http://www.keep-fishing.com/">Keep-Fishing.com</a>, <a id="link_90" target="_new" href="http://www.keep-fishing.com/esp-fishing/">Carp Fishing with ESP Tackle</a>.</p><p>Article Source: <a id="link_91" href="http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Glen_Buchanan">http://EzineArticles.com/?expert=Glen_Buchanan</a></p></div>Jacksonjiphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15160232424182928214noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-846729063230282020.post-68451187515750255542009-06-12T09:43:00.003+07:002009-06-12T09:47:23.152+07:00Fishing Equipment : Seeking Fishing Equipment For Sale<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://cdn-www.trails.com/Cms/images/GlobalPhoto/Articles/130/135106-main_Full.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 187px; height: 243px;" src="http://cdn-www.trails.com/Cms/images/GlobalPhoto/Articles/130/135106-main_Full.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">Fishing Equipment</span><br /><div style="text-align: justify;" id="body"><p>In order to find the right fishing equipment for sale, whether you are a UK fisher or are fishing in another country's waters, it is essential to know what you need. Many hunting and fishing equipment shops worldwide are stocked with quality, brand name supplies. You can fish or you can be a fisherman. An amateur fisher can make a fishing pole, but he shouldn't necessarily expect fish successfully with it.</p><p>Most stores that sell fishing supplies have expensive and cheap products. You can purchase fishing supplies such as rods and reels from about seven to thirty five pounds. You need a rod and reel that enables you to catch different size fish. Sporting goods stores sell spin fishing equipment and fly fishing equipment. They sell rods, reels, wholesale fishing tackle, fishing knives and accessories like hooks, bobbers, sinkers, swivels and bait. A person would choose different fishing supplies for small lake and river fishing than for sea fishing. At these stores, you can get tools and supplies for every kind of fishing including ice fishing.</p><p>When you are looking for fishing equipment, also consider the boat you may be using and pay some attention to what you will be wearing. Is your trip going to be a long one lasting for days on end or a short simple same-day fishing trip? You need clothing for keeping you the warmest and the driest that you can be and you need the proper boat and boating supplies for the waters in which you plan to fish. You need to look at several different stores in order to be content with the products you purchase. Sometimes, you can find discounts on equipment for sale for freshwater and saltwater fishing, if you buy your fishing gear in bulk.</p><p>It would be smart to find a reputable store that has been in business for a while. You can get detailed facts from reviews and information online or you can visit a shop and see for yourself. Compare prices as well as product quality and always opt for a business that will stand behind their supplies. It also matters what kind of service you receive. How did the employees treat you? Were the items easily accessible? Was the store clean and orderly? It is true for UK fishing shoppers and those in other countries: you can find the right fishing equipment for sale if you know how to look for it.</p></div><div style="text-align: justify;" id="sig" class="sig"><p>Ronan is a passionate fisherman and always looking at new materials and flies and their effects on the quarry fish.

Fishing Tackle?</strong></p><p>Well, if you were thinking it was a new kind of tackle that would help you find and catch fish using some kind of mysterious psychic power, not quite. E.S.P. Fishing Tackle is a popular and well respected brand of fishing equipment. In fact, for many carp fisherman (and fisher women) E.S.P. Fishing Tackle is the brand of choice.</p><p>Carp fishing is growing in popularity. There was a time when some considered carp "junk fish", the ones you did not want to catch, and would quickly toss back if you did. But, over the years, many anglers have come to realize that fishing for carp is a worthy past time. And for many different reasons.</p><p>First and most importantly is the fact that you can eat carp, which you can't always say for a lot of the "sports" fish. True, some people fish simply for the challenge of catching a "big one". But being able to dine on the fruits of your labours adds to the feeling of accomplishment you got from catching the fish.</p><p>Another appealing thing about carp is their size. Part of the fun of sports fishing is being able to catch the really big fish, which is relatively easy when using quality equipment like E.S.P. Fishing Tackle. It's not at all unusual to stumble across carp that are upwards of 20 or 30 pounds in size. (Although carp 10 pounds and under tends to be better for eating.)</p><p>Another thing that makes carp fishing so appealing is the challenge. Serious anglers don't want to just drop a line in the water, pull it up, and find a fish dangling on the end. They want a fish that puts up a fight. And this is definitely true of carp.</p><p>Two more advantages of fishing for carp are its abundance, and the many different places they can be found. You can find these fish in streams, lakes and ponds all over the world. Wherever you live, there's a good chance there is a body of water where you can fish for carp nearby.</p><p>When fishing for carp, your best bet is to use a heavy, high quality rod and reel with a 15 pound test line.

Charter services provide the equipment<br />In case you are taking a boat from the charter service for you fishing expedition it will be fully equipped by them for whatever you may require during the trip, but if you are taking your own vessel, then you ought to know what it is you will need. You would need the usual fishing paraphernalia like baits, lures, reels and rods.</p><p>2. Additional emergency equipment<br />There may be some additional gear that you would want to take along to help you in case the catch is large which you can expect if you are out far into the sea. With the right kind of equipment you need have no anxious moments and can take good care of yourself and your boat.</p><p>It is safer to have a fighting belt wrapped around you as this would provide you with more control and protection in case you have caught some large species like tuna or shark, which is quite probable so far away from the shore.

Charter services often provide emergency gear too<br />As you must know, charter service usually provide you with all the emergency equipment that you will need in case you catch a problematic fish like the swordfish, tuna, wahoo, shark or any other such species.

The sports fisherman goes out to sea to get the big game catch. The sport fishing is also called big game fishing. These anglers usually want to catch the big game to show off and not for putting on the table.

There is enough choice in the market for you to decide from. The angler who is doing it for a sport will prefer to use the spoon variety to bait his fish. Some use scented beads and spinning blades made of metal which are quite effectual in luring big game fish. So basically you should get to know what bait or lure to use for a particular kind of fish and you will definitely get the fish you have set your mind on.

This kind of fishing is what they call the ice fishing you must have a lot of patience and the ice fishing equipment when doing it. Ice fishing is a slow and sometimes a dangerous sport.</p><p>If you are wondering where ice fishing started, it started in frozen countries like Norway and Canada, however, these are not the only countries that practices this style of fishing. Another location that is great for ice fishing is in Alaska because the ice is thick, which is makes it an ideal to fish on. When you go ice fishing make sure that the ice is thick enough to support your weight.</p><p>In the old times, ice fishing equipment is composed of a strong wooden pole, a strong and long fishing line, with a hook and a bait and of course a stool to sit on while waiting for a catch. Other would chose to use a spear to catch a fish but only a few uses this method but a spear is an effective ice fishing equipment to use.</p><p>If you think fishing is just sitting and waiting will you are wrong. It needs hard work and patience to cut a whole through the thick ice to expose the water below. In order to do this you will need an ice saw or an ice spades, which is an essential part of ice fishing equipment. When using this equipment you can cut whole of 5 inches in diameter in the frozen lake. Another important part of ice fishing equipment is the strainer used to get rid of newly forming chunks of ice in the water.</p><p>There are various kinds of fishing techniques that can be use in ice fishing. The first technique needs a small, lures fast and a keen eye to catch smaller fish. Second, uses a "tie-up", a special part of ice fishing equipment. This method works by dragging the multi-hooked fishing line until it strikes, which ties the fish in a web of hooks. The spear method is another technique, which works by placing bait on the water and strike when the right moment comes.</p><p>Even though ice fishing is a fun sport it is also dangerous. The frozen ice must be four inches thick to support the average weight of a person but sometimes the ice is less than four inches thick. Taking for granted the thickness of the ice can lead to a disaster. A person can die because of hypothermia if he falls into the ice water especially if it is not taken care of immediately.</p></div><div style="text-align: justify;" id="sig" class="sig"><p>Abhishek is an avid Fishing enthusiast and he has got some great <a id="link_89" target="_new" href="http://www.fishing-masters.com/772/index.htm">Fishing Secrets</a> up his sleeves!

Most fish are more active at night looking for their feed, therefore, many fisherman will leave their homes at 11 - 12 pm at night to set up for a nights fishing.</p><p>On top of your essential fishing equipment, you would also need to consider waterproof clothing, a large umbrella, seating and perhaps even a tent.</p><p>Once you do have your equipment, and you have spent the day on the lakes catching your bait, remember to rinse off your reels and rods in fresh water, this is especially so if you have been fishing in salt water.</p><p>Most equipment is fine in a cool dry environment, but do not be tempted to lean your rod up against a wall, this could cause your rod to warp, instead, store them vertically or horizontally.</p><p>Whatever equipment you decide to purchase for the type of fishing you choose, we all know that fishing is fun.</p><p>A recent study showed that most fisherman fish for any type of fish and happy with whatever they catch, just as long as they catch something. In this case, equipment needed for fishing would perhaps prove to be less expensive and a lot more fun.</p><p>This is the type of fishing the kids are interested in, however, you still have to watch those pockets, as kids come up with all kinds of equipment they 'need' and just cannot do without.

The thrill of luring the fish, catching it and having it for lunch or dinner or simply the soothing sounds of running water in a stream have made fly fishing an experience to remember, for the young and the old alike. The fly-fishing experience is complete only if you have the right kind of fishing equipment.</p><p>The most important fly-fishing gear is the fishing rod. Fly fishing rods were originally made from flexible but sturdy wood. Later on, bamboo rods were introduced and these became the standard fly-fishing equipment. Bamboo was treated and reinforced to make the best quality fly fishing rods. Presently, due to advanced technology, fly-fishing rods are manufactured from carbon fiber or fiberglass. The fly fishing rod is similar to a normal fishing rod, only it is a little heavier. The weight factor gives a clean and smooth cast to the fishing pole. The smoothness of the cast can vary from pole to pole. A sturdy and heavy fishing pole is an essential part of fly-fishing equipment.</p><p>The reels used in fly-fishing are bigger and heavier in comparison to the normal fishing reel. They have a distinctive design and are much more durable compared to the normal fishing poles. Fly fishing rods and reels work together and one must consider their compatibility to each other at the time of purchase. They have to work smoothly together. Finding the suitable reel for the fly fishing rod is of utmost importance.</p><p>The third component of the fly-fishing equipment is the replicated fly. Flies are designed to lure the fish and specific types of flies are used to lure a particular species of fish. Hence, the most important aspect of fly-fishing is to consider what type of fish you want to catch. Choosing the right kind of fly is the most important aspect of fly-fishing equipment. The other important item in the fly-fishing attire is a good set of rubber waders that will keep you warm and dry in the cold waters.</p><p>Purchasing the right type of fly-fishing equipment is a challenge. However, it adds to the fly-fishing experience and therefore worth the extra effort it takes to procure the best of fly-fishing equipment. With a little practice and the right type of fishing gear, fly-fishing can be a very relaxing and enjoyable sport.</p></div><div style="text-align: justify;" id="sig" class="sig"><p>Abhishek is an avid Fly Fishing enthusiast and he has got some great <a id="link_89" target="_new" href="http://www.fishing-masters.com/95/index.htm">Fly Fishing Secrets</a> up his sleeve!

Pre-spawn/spawning season is here!</p><p>This is the best time of year to get in there for some heavy bass action. From now until late April the bass are going to be biting like crazy! This is the most exciting time of year to fish in my opinion. I love getting out on the water in early April because when the bass are spawning you are almost guaranteed some good action.</p><p>The bass are going into pre spawn right now. This means that they are moving into the shallow parts of lakes to make beds. They prefer shallow water near thick reeds or brush. When the bass are in pre spawn they are very active. You will see them swimming frantically almost like they are territorial. The reason for this is that they are territorial. When they set up a place to lay their eggs (bed) they become very aggressive in the area. They are known to bite at almost anything that crosses their area.</p><p>When the bass enter their actual spawning period, or the time that they actually lay their eggs, they become even more active. Once the eggs are in the beds they become very territorial. This is the best time to fish for bass in my opinion because if you find a bed you can cast over it and get a hit almost every time.</p><p>My favorite strategy for fishing during spawning season is all about the <a id="link_89" target="_new" rel="nofollow" href="http://fishingtackleequipment.brighterplanet.org/">fishing tackle equipment</a> My favorite lures to use during this time include suspending jerk baits, spinnerbaits, and top water lures. If it is midday you will probably be better off using a spinnerbait or a suspender. You need to figure out how deep the bed is first. If it is 5 feet deep, use a lure that runs 3-4 feet deep. Just drag it along right in front of their faces, and if necessary use a frantic jerking motion. (Any quick motions will catch their attention) If it is early morning or evening try a top water lure. They are more likely to move farther away from the bed in the cover of darkness.</p><p>Try some of these techniques right now. This is the perfect time of year to get in some good quality bass fishing. Using these techniques should greatly improve your bass fishing experience.</p></div><div style="text-align: justify;" id="sig" class="sig"><p>Everything you need to know about <a id="link_90" target="_new" href="http://fishingtackleequipment.brighterplanet.org/">Fishing Tackle Equipment</a> to become a better fisherman.</p><p>Article Source: <a id="link_91" href="http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Matt_D_Reed">http://EzineArticles.com/?expert=Matt_D_Reed</a></p></div>Jacksonjiphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15160232424182928214noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-846729063230282020.post-21020061673249301722009-06-12T09:02:00.002+07:002009-06-12T09:04:55.033+07:00Fishing Equipment : Carp Fishing Tackle Tips<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.fishthailand.co.uk/images/siamese_carp_bungsamran.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 239px; height: 190px;" src="http://www.fishthailand.co.uk/images/siamese_carp_bungsamran.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;">Fishing Equipment</span><br /><div style="text-align: justify;" id="body"><p>When it come to fishing, especially carp fishing, you better make sure to have the proper tackle ready to go before you head to the lake. Most people think this is common sense, but you would be surprised how quickly many people rush out and do this. Today, I am going to offer advice and tips on choosing high quality carp fishing tackle.</p><p>My first tip is not to use cheap tackle. It may seem like all hooks, lines, swivels, are the same, but they are not. Do not skimp on these items or they will cost you a lost fish or two. If you are using hair rigs and boilies, be extra careful the connections are secure. Equipment fails can cost you trophy fish.</p><p>Another tip about using your gear is not to store things all in the same box or bag. Things bleed together and smells can turn the fish off, so do not store your baits in the same place, unless you do not care that they may mix. Plastics can also melt very easily, so be very careful.</p><p>When it comes to your rods, reels, nets, rod holders, baits, etc., do not be cheap either. While you do not have to spend thousands of dollars, do not just grab a fifty year old rod out of the basement and expect to land a trophy on your trip. Hopefully you will not any problems if you follow that simple advice.</p><p>On a final note, be careful not to slam your doors when loading your stuff. I have broken a few rod tips myself and know the agony.</p><p>Good luck.</p></div><div style="text-align: justify;" id="sig" class="sig"><p>Check out the following site for more information about <a id="link_79" target="_new" href="http://carpfishingtackle-blogger.blogspot.com/2009/05/carp-fishing-rods.html">Carp tackle</a>.</p><p>You can never have enough <a id="link_80" target="_new" href="http://carpfishingtackle-blogger.blogspot.com/">Carp Fishing Tackle</a></p><p>Article Source: <a id="link_81" href="http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Gus_T_Thomas">http://EzineArticles.com/?expert=Gus_T_Thomas</a></p></div>Jacksonjiphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15160232424182928214noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-846729063230282020.post-81348928101165754312009-06-12T08:16:00.002+07:002009-06-12T08:18:33.895+07:00Fishing Equipment : Salmon Fishing Equipment<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.wildpacificcharters.com/images/a%20pair%20of%20kings.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 254px; height: 199px;" src="http://www.wildpacificcharters.com/images/a%20pair%20of%20kings.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">Fishing Equipment</span><br /><div style="text-align: justify;" id="body"><p>Lures, graphite rods, and a dazzling array of flies, are you sure you’re having the best salmon fishing equipment? Salmons are a picky lot and making them bit is a tricky business. Having the appropriate lure for a certain condition is considered fair salmon fishing practice.</p><p>How about encountering a 50 pound King salmon with only an 8 foot light tackle? You’d be cursing your breath for that little oversight on your part. Even your wife will be cursing you to death; I would if I’m accompanying you.</p><p>So don’t ever bring curtailed equipment. Of course you can still battle that 50 pound salmon to submission with the 8 foot rod, and if you land the Chinook successfully you deserve the president patting your back. Heck, I would fly to your destination if you just let me know. But chances are, Joe, it would be a losing battle.</p><p>Are you heading for salmon fishing with the best equipment? Here’s a salmon fishing equipment checklist if you need one.</p><p>Remember, best doesn’t spell out as most expensive. It is a matter of a salmon fishing equipment doing as it should: fishing rods that don’t slip, lines that don’t break, and lures that even minnows are fooled.</p><p>Lures, Baits and Flies</p><p>Angling, when schematically done is mostly: locate game, prepare tackle, and fish. Using the appropriate lures always guarantees a bite. The only tricky part is brewing the right stuff. Cured salmon roe is considered by many to be the most irresistible treat but it comes with a price. They aren’t reusable of course. While flies can be a promising salmon fishing equipment, adding ‘scents’ can amplify its ‘attractiveness’ to the salmon.</p><p>Fishing Rods</p><p>Salmon fishing rods must have a mixture of characteristic: it must be flexible to handle the freaking aerial displays of silver salmon but and it must robust enough to handle the rock-like pull of a Chinook, all the while still fairly maneuverable to provide a decent jiggle. Of course you can bring several choices to meet several situations. Graphite steel provides the best flexibility while retaining some lightness and strength. Bamboo rods are also a popular choice and cheaper besides.</p><p>Reels</p><p>In the past, traditional reels are of simple construction. Its construct has no drag at all; anglers have to ‘palm’ the revolving rim to slow the rotation and the fish. New reel designs now allow ‘drag’ mechanism that would reduce line feeding in an event the fish decides to bolt away from the angler. Power assisted reels are often useful in landing heavier fish, or if the angler don’t have enough muscle strength to subdue a frenzied fish –most especially useful on big game fish like the tuna or tarpon.</p><p>Lines</p><p>Using the appropriate line always dictate a successful catch. Think of landing a Chinook? These fishes are often coy in nipping bait and would bolt at the slightest provocation. Using a less visible line like the Canjun Advantage Line will make your game unable to smell you. Silvers are more voracious feeder, sometimes it doesn’t matter if you are using a stouter line.</p></div><div style="text-align: justify;" id="sig" class="sig"><p><b>Milos Pesic</b> is an avid fisherman and owner of popular and comprehensive <a id="link_93" target="_new" href="http://salmon-fishing.need-to-know.net/Alaska_Salmon_Fishing.html">Salmon Fishing</a> information site.

Choosing the appropriate sea fishing gear means that you have to possess knowledge of the basic supplies and their uses. Beginners may want to rent equipment rather than buy initially in order to find out what works for them.</p><p>Now, live bait is extremely effective in sea waters. You can use worms, sardines or mackerel. It is also important to purchase the right rods and reels for your bait. Conventional rods are matched with conventional reels; spinning rods are matched with spinning reels etc... Longer rods cast a better distance, but if you are fishing in a standing position, shorter rods may have more strength to pull the fish out of the deep sea waters. You will need a larger, thicker, more resilient rod when fishing in the sea and you will need the proper reel depending upon the rod and type of angling.</p><p>Additional helpful fishing equipment for sale for the deep sea may be navigation devices, depth sounding equipment and fish finders. Other supplies include fishing baits and lures and also a belt and harness. The belt and harness will provide more control over your fishing rod. With this equipment, you can use the weight of your entire body and not just your arms.</p><p>The tackle used for salt water fishing can't be iron, steel, or aluminum because they will be corroded by the salt water. You must use nickel or stainless steel fishing tackle equipment and the tackle must be very heavy. Ice fishing in the sea calls for specialist equipment. The rod needs to be one to three feet long and the reel is simple. Four other types of fishing are fly fishing, drift fishing, bait casting and still fishing and these are among numerous types. Fly fishing tackle requires rods selected according to weight and what kind of casting distance you want.</p><p>Whether you are an experienced fisher or a novice fisher it is important to know what you are in need of and where to get it. Just remember that buying deep sea fishing equipment has to be a well thought out task for UK anglers and other fishers looking for satisfaction and adventure.</p></div><div style="text-align: justify;" id="sig" class="sig"><p>Ronan Bill is a fishing and hunting equipment professional and a part of KEENSTACKLEANDGUNS.

A properly maintained fishing rod tackle won't let you down whilst you are fishing.</p><p>Here's how you can make sure that you keep your rod in good working order:</p><p>1. Never use any sort of tools to twist or hold the rod while you're cleaning it or working on it, as this can damage the rod.<br />2. Never bend the rod at extreme angles as you're likely to stress and crack the rod. Remember to keep the rod straight when you're threading the line through.<br />3. Try and avoid sharp pulls on the line when it is snagged. Instead, find out why it is snagged, and untangle it.<br />4. Don't over stress the rod. This could be by trying to catch fish that the rod isn't designed to catch, or to try and get it into a small space without taking it apart.<br />5. The rod can break if it subjected to rolling around the car, or if things are stored on top of it. Be careful when transporting it, and make sure that it is stored properly when you're not using it.<br />6. Rubbing candle wax into the joints will help when fitting and separating the rod. Don't use any products that aren't recommended by the manufacturer as they could do more harm than good.<br />7. Rinse the rod in fresh water if you've used it in salt water, especially if you don't use it very often. Salt is corrosive and can damage your rod. If it is stored in a cupboard for weeks or months at a time, you might not know the extent of the damage until you come to use it again.<br />8. Make sure that you clean and dry the rod use time you use it, especially the rod rings. This will ensure that your fishing rod is kept in good condition, and that if that if there are any issues with it, you will know about them at home, rather than whilst on the riverbank, or in the river itself.<br />9. Keep the reel working properly, by making sure that it's free from dirt. You don't want it to stick, or become unreliable.<br />10. Store your fishing rod in a safe dry place, in a storage tube, when you're not using it. It won't do it any good to be left in the boot of the car, or in the porch where it might get knocked over, or stood on.</p><p>Now you know more about how to look after your fishing rod, isn't it time you gave it a clean, and made sure that everything works properly before your next fishing trip?</p></div><div style="text-align: justify;" id="sig" class="sig"><p>If you're a keen angler, make sure you look after your <a id="link_89" target="_new" href="http://www.johnnorris.co.uk/shop/ty_467-rods/">Fishing Rod</a> and <a id="link_90" target="_new" href="http://www.johnnorris.co.uk/shop/ty_234-fishing-tackle/">Fishing Tackle</a>, or treat yourself to new fishing equipment if yours needs replacing.
