Hey People
I am about to buy some tackle in the next fortnight. I have been away from fishing except once last year pole fishing for around 4 hours.
The reason I am asking this question is because I don't want to buy pointless tackle that just sits there for years, and never sees the rod. The fish that I intend to stalk are Perch, Tench, Bream, Roach, Carp upto 10 lbs for the moment .
Hooks comes to mind first. What sizes of barbless hooks should I be looking at initially that will cover all the species above? I have only ever fished for Trout with a rod, and I can't remember anything about hooksize(The days that lead weights were allowed). I just stuck a worm on a hook weighted and hoped to get lucky.
Line is my second query. What line would be recommended for the above fish?
I do have one Disgorger at the moment, but intend to pick up a few more. A plummet, some shot, two floats, and some scissors from a telescopic travel kit around 4 years old.
On the list so far to give you a idea were I'm upto:
hooks, and hooks to nylon
floats
2 or 3 small swim feeders
catapult
rod rests
2 disgorger
lead free shot
float rubbers
36 inch landing net
unhooking mat
Any advice appreciated on other stuff needed, and essential would be great. I don't fancy overseeing something important, but want to be keeping it simple at the same time.
I'll save buying stuff I'll never use for later down the line hehe /forum/smilies/wink_smiley.gif
