Other Gear
Fishing net. Not essential, but can be handy when landing a fish, and they're good for keeping the kids amused!
Leaders. You hook these on to your line and use the small pin catch to slip on hooks or lures. Probably better for more experienced anglers or large fish.
Swivels. This is another type of pin clip you can use to prevent your line from tangling as it moves through the water.
Fishing Knife. Very handy if you have a snagged or tangled line, as well as for cleaning and scaling fish. Give kids nail clippers rather than a knife to cut their line.
Needle Nose Pliers. You can use these to remove fishhooks.
First Aid Kit. Make sure it includes bandages, peroxide and anti-bacterial ointment for cuts and scrapes.
Tackle Box. With all the bits and pieces you'll rapidly accumulate, a tackle box can be a great way of organizing and storing everything.
Now that you have everything you need, it's time for the best part - going fishing! Head off for a nice shady spot on the bank of a stream, relax, and wait for a fish to nibble on the bait.
