How do I know which fishing gear and accessories to buy?
Fishing is a very wide field with different categories of items, which in turn have tens of brands. You have hundreds of choices to pick from for anything you need. If you are a beginner, the best thing would be to acquaint yourself with essential fishing gear by joining a friend on a fishing trip. There is an active fishing community in almost every part of Australia, where you will find people willing to show you the paces.
You should also consider the type of fishing you are doing. Freshwater fishing gear for river and lake fishing is a bit different from saltwater fishing gear, which has a larger catch.
What else should I consider when buying fishing equipment in Australia?
Different states have different regulations on the kind of fishing gear and accessories you can use. You should check whether;
- The equipment is allowed for fishing
- How many of each item can be used at the same time
- The item conforms to legal standards and requirements
- The gear is marked with tags and buoys
Also, different states may require that you register some items, which involves paperwork.
Your fishing supplies could also be determined by the duration of the fishing trip. Long camping and fishing trips will require planning for transport, fish storage, and accommodation.
