Tackle
Selecting tackle can be very difficult. Matching the right rod and reel to a particular lake or fish can be easy. However, for most, it is not cost effective to have multiple rods and reels for various situations. Therefore, there is usually compromise. Most anglers pick a rod and reel combination that can work for largemouth bass, pike, trout and other lake fish.
Once you know the type of fish you will go after, spend sometime in a good bait and tackle shop. They will help you select the right rod and reel combination.
The next step is to select a few line test strengths. You never want to go too strong or you won’t be able to tell if you are getting a strike. If you know you are going after lunker sized bass, use a high test line, say 16 pound. If you are going after bass that are no more than 8 pounds in your area, try a six to 10 pound test line, 12 maybe as well.
