Whois & Analysis for fishusa.com

Fishing tackle is the equipment used by fishermen when fishing.

Almost any equipment or gear used for fishing can be called fishing tackle.

Some examples are hooks, lines, sinkers, floats, rods, reels, baits, lures, spears, nets, gaffs, traps, waders and tackle boxes.

Angling is a method of fishing by means of an "angle" (fish hook).

The hook is usually attached to a fishing line and the line is often attached to a fishing rod.

Fishing rods are usually fitted with a fishing reel that functions as a mechanism for storing, retrieving and paying out the line.

The hook itself can be dressed with lures or bait.

A bite indicator such as a float, and a weight or sinker are sometimes used.

Waders refers to a waterproof boot extending from the foot to the chest, traditionally made from vulcanised rubber, but available in more modern PVC, neoprene and Gore-Tex variants.

Waders are generally distinguished from counterpart waterproof boots by shaft height; the hip boot extending to the thigh and the Wellington boot to the knee.

They are therefore sometimes referred to as Chest Waders for emphasis.

Waders are available with boots attached or can have attached stocking feet (usually made of the wader material), to wear inside boots.

A fishing rod is a long, flexible rod used to catch fish.

At its simplest, a fishing rod is a simple stick or pole attached to a line ending in a hook (formerly known as an angle, hence the term angling).

The length of the rod can vary between.

To entice fish, bait or lures are impaled on one or more hooks attached to the line.

The line is generally stored on a reel which reduces tangles and assists in landing a fish.

A fishing line is a cord used or made for angling.

Important parameters of a fishing line are its length, material, and weight (thicker lines are more visible to fish).

Factors that may determine what line an angler chooses for a given fishing environment include breaking strength, knot strength, UV resistance, castability, limpness, stretch, abrasion resistance, and visibility.

Most modern lines are made from nylon or silk.
