Buying Fishing Tackle Online-3 Factors in Picking the Best Lure Colour


Artificial baits or lures are made to resemble prey to attract fish. A quick look at the online inventory of vendors such as Bid2Fish will show you a broad assortment of lures and discount fishing tackle in different shapes, sizes and colours. Many anglers prefer lures over live baits as the former create stronger vibrations that help draw fish more easily. Colour might also be another contributing factor as it helps fish locate their target before they are engulfed by sound or smell.

Tips on Buying Lures and the Right Fishing Tackle Online


With the abundance of aquatic life and prime fishing spots, it’s not entirely surprising why so many people in Australia are devotees of recreational fishing. You can plan exciting camping and fishing adventures with your family or go on trips with your buddies away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. You can even have some much-cherished alone time and commune with nature. Catching fish on lures is great fun and in many situations is more effective at catching bigger fish than some bait techniques. Modern lure varieties include those made from metals, timbers, hard plastics and soft plastics.

Catching a Snapper: Things to Note When Buying Fishing Tackle Online


Snapper (Pagrus Auratus) is undeniably one of the most prized game fishes in Australia. Fishing for a really big snapper can be very challenging, though, and many consider it a feat to catch something as heavy as 10kg. In Western Australia, pink snapper that have a distinctive pink and silver to copper colour can weigh between 2kg and 8kg. In general, snapper are found in almost every reef and in any accommodating channel or harbour. Recreational fishers usually schedule their trips during snapper breeding and schooling season as snappers are at the height of their appetite, and consequently, are easier to catch. According to Recfishwest.com, pink snapper typically spawn for about 3-5 months starting around October, a behaviour that sends armadas of fishing boats scurrying off to hot spots such as Shark Bay and Cockburn Sound. (Keeping in mind area closures during this period.)

Of Fishing Rods, Reels, and Other Tackle


A WA fisherman got more than he bargained for when he went out fishing last March 23, 2015. Albany local Brendan Hilder was out handline fishing for salmon on Shelley Beach when his fishing line caught a massive 13-foot tiger shark. This resulted in a 2-hour tussle between man and fish. The struggle was captured in a series of YouTube videos that went viral almost instantly. Although tiger sharks are a protected species in Western Australia and catching them entails penalties and fines, Fisheries WA said in a statement that Hilder will not be penalised because it was obvious from the video that he was unaware that what he caught was a tiger shark. "It was only when he pulled it in to shallow waters he became aware, at which point he called for a knife to cut it free,” a Fisheries representative said.

20 Hour Bluefin Tuna Fight: Fishing Tackle to Catch Massive Bluefin Tuna


Jordan Chenoweth of NSW sure has one good fish tale to tell. The 15-year-old angler set out on 13 April to fish off of Tasman Peninsula as part of a fishing party of five men and two girls. Right before noon, somewhere in Munroe Bight, she hooked a 350-pound Bluefin. Bruised, blistered, and sea sick, she fought with the marine giant until more experienced angler Kelly “Hooch” Hunt of Forth took over the rod four hours later. Kelly Hunt manned the rod until midnight, at which time she was replaced by Swansea fisherman Ashley Hallam. Kelly handled the rod again at 6:00 a.m. and eventually managed to get the fish to the surface, where they saw another large fish—most likely an oil fish or swordfish, according to the men—tangled up with the Bluefin, thereby causing the line to break. The crew ended up losing the fish after nearly a day on the line.

Building Your Own Fishing Tackle: Should You Use Bait or Lures?


Food seems to be the fastest way to a fish’s mouth. You can use real food (bait) or something that looks like it (lures) to reel in the big one. Whilst both are effective in their own way, some anglers prefer one over the other. Yet Graham Fifield of Flick and Fly Journal does not know for sure which of the two makes for better bait. Fifield has often found success with lures, but he also points out that bait can be effective in murky waters. As an added bonus, the scent of the bait will make most fish bite, regardless of almost-zero visibility underwater. The choice to use either bait or lure will also affect fishing tackle performance. Make an informed decision by knowing what either one entails.

The WA dhufish is an impressive prize fish that can be found at the wide expanse from Shark Bay all the way down as far as Esperance in the Great Australian Bight.

Bottom fishing for this species requires a couple of easy methods. Fishing with bait or using fishing lures.

How to Identify the Most Ideal Fishing Rods for Your Specific Needs


Composed of the blank, which is the long tubular part, and the butt, which is where the reel will be attached, your rod’s length determines what sort of fishing it can be used for. Longer rods can cast farther and have more reach. This makes them ideal for beach fishing and rock fishing. Shorter rods come in a couple of forms. Short boat rods are more robust, and can support heavier lines. And short light action rods are great for some river/lake applications, and have great sensitivity and feel. A rod’s durability and purpose are also influenced by what materials went into its making. Blanks are now commonly made of fibreglass or graphites, or a mixture of the two; blank-making companies follow their own formulas. In any case, the composition can influence the rod’s action (i.e., how it bends) as well as casting weights and strength of the rod.

Marlin Fishing Tackle: Should You Use Live Bait or Plastic Lures?


The mighty Blue Marlin is one of the most thrilling and challenging fish to catch. Many daring anglers have braved the oceans in hopes of conquering this amazing fish. Experts all around agree that to catch Blue Marlin, one should be adequately equipped with the best fishing tackle and angling knowhow. Still, the question remains: should you use plastic lures or live bait? A few people alternate between the two choices, seasoned skipper and competitive angler Ronnie Fields being one of them. Fields was practically a bait user growing up, having won second place at a local tournament in his hometown using “home-grown” techniques. He did, however, pull quite a hat trick in the same tournament for two consecutive years and placed second in the Atlantic Blue Marlin category in 2009 using lures.

Quick Guide to Fly Fishing Reels


Weight A fly reel’s weight also plays a major role in the efficiency of your gear, since it has to properly match the weight of your line and fishing rod. Uniformity in weight helps ensure that there’s enough flexibility for when you cast your line. For 4-weight fishing rods, for instance, you should get reels and lines that also fall under the 4-weight category. Reel Design Next you should consider the design or type of fly reel you’ll need for your activity: standard arbor, mid arbor or large arbor. The SA reel is best used with smaller river rods or traditional cane fly rods, and they hold plenty of backing. MA reels have better backing, as well as the ability to keep the line in larger loops, to reduce memory. Large arbor reels allow for the best backing ability among the three, and has an excellent retrieval rate.

Buying Guide for Baitcaster Fishing Rods: Different Size, Different Application


Among the many tools in an angler’s arsenal, the rod is what all other gear should conform to. Having the right rod goes a long way towards successful fishing. Gone are the days, however, when one rod sufficed for anything; today, subtle differences between the many fishing rods available can spell huge differences in terms of your fish-catching ability. Short Fishing Rods Starting at the shorter end of the scale are your 5’-5’6” baitcast overhead rods. The 5’6” sized rod is commonly regarded by most overhead lure anglers as the most popular rod length for a variety of reasons. Firstly, it is short enough to throw lures in tight confined spaces, such as small creeks where space to flick casts are limited by both boat space and natural features, like mangroves and trees.

Selecting the Appropriate Game Fishing Tackle: Being Prepared for a Tournament


Fishing for game, as many experienced anglers would say, is a delicate art that requires a lot of skill and patience. It also demands the use of sophisticated tackle and gear to ensure that gamefish actually strike and that the angler lands a catch. Indeed, the right kind of tackle can make all the difference between a successful day in the water or heading back home empty-handed. Being prepared for a tournament means not only having your first string of rods, lures, baits/rigs, teasers, etc. ready to go, but also having backups for everything and double backups for some things. During a tournament, you only have so many hours of fishing time per day, so if the line on one of your rods gets damaged and you don’t have a backup rod ready to go, you’ve now got one less bait in your spread while someone re-rigs another one. That also means one less set of eyes watching the spread.
