Becoming one of the twenty percent of fishers who catch eighty percent of the fish isn't hard. It's simply a matter of having the right fishing tackle for the area and the species you are likely to encounter.

But, ask any charter skipper about the tackle boxes he has seen brimming with expensive, but useless, fishing tackle - stuff designed to catch fishermen instead of fish. Or ask him about the number of unbalanced or inadequate rod and reel combos that clients bring. You will be staggered to learn how much useless stuff fishermen actually buy!

It is not just charter boat clients missing out. If the bottom eighty per cent of fishermen used the correct tackle they would all be successful fishermen.

The cause so many fishers have the wrong gear is they just don't have access to sound advice when buying fishing tackle. All too often the fisherman walks out of the store - after spending twice as much as he needed to - and with a pile of expensive gear that just doesn't work on the fish he wants to catch.
