Salmon Fishing Tackle
from: Kyle BesserFor most amateur anglers the hardest part of getting started in the sport of salmon fishing is the overwhelming confusion with regards to the type of lures, bait, and tackle that is available. If you look at a fishing magazine, browse the internet or go to a sports and fishing exhibition, you will be astounded at the number of salmon fishing tackle items that are for sale.
In reality there is no one particular item that will ensure success in salmon fishing. Salmon fishing tackle is an important aspect, and making good selections will help with your chances for catching salmon.
One important salmon fishing tip with regards to making the most of salmon fishing tackle is to be sure to buy heavy and robust salmon fishing equipment as salmon are heavier than many other fish. Plus salmon are very active and fight much harder than many other fish species, which simply demolishes lighter types of tackle.
The following are items that should be included in every salmon fishing tackle box, no matter where you are fishing for salmon.
Spinners And Lures
Have a good variety of plugs, spinners, spoons and wiggle baits. Rattle baits, designed to make a noise when pulled through the water, are excellent for salmon fishing in muddy water at the mouth of rivers. Typically brighter colors such as reds, yellows, blues, golds, silvers, oranges and greens are best for salmon fishing in clearer water in bright conditions. Darker colors such as grays, browns and dark blues and greens are ideal for cloudy conditions and salmon fishing in the early evening and morning.
Live Bait
In some waterways worms, prawns and even shrimp make excellent additions to hooks, but they are prohibited in many areas so care must be taken to ensure that there is no legal violation in using this type of salmon fishing bait.
Flies
While not a natural food source for this species of fish, salmon fishing tackle would not be complete without a few salmon fishing flies and a good salmon fishing fly rod. The basic design of a salmon fishing fly will be the same as a trout fly, but the hook will be larger and the design more sturdy.
Fly Rod
Salmon fly fishing is a true art form, with the casting and movement of the rod and fly occurring in almost an endless effort. A fly rod to include in a salmon fishing tackle collection should be at 10-12 feet long and should be able to bring in at least a 12-15 pound salmon. Double grip rods are very versatile as they can be cast with either hand to avoid problems with overhanging trees and vegetation in shore salmon fly fishing.
Spinning And Bait Rods
For a salmon fishing tackle box at least one bait rod is important. It is important to ensure that the salmon fishing rod is designed for salmon and has a strong handle and butt section to allow you to hold on comfortably while the fish is fighting. Typically a bait rod will be shorter and heavier than a fly rod, averaging about 9 feet in length.
