5 Things I Never Buy For Fishing-Saltwater Tackle Tips For Beginners

Спорт

If you are new to saltwater fishing here are some beginner tackle tips that will help you catch more fish and save more money. One of the most important things about fishing is presenting live bait and lures in natural ways.
Buying pre-made fishing tackle almost always cost more money than when you make your own. Those cabled leaders that are assembled with bright colored beads, crimps, swivels and snaps are loaded with way too many things that don't look natural. Also, the snaps that are used for attaching the hooks to the leader are destined to fail if you hook into a really big fish. You will almost always be able to make a better leader with your own materials.
These fishing tips for beginners include:
1. Considering what type of bobber to use, weighted or not
2. Saving money through making your own leaders. Hooks, swivels, weights and heavy monofilament or fluorocarbon leader can be purchased separately and assembled for significant savings
3. Live bait is always better than the dead stuff, especially those dried out minnows and shrimp in the sporting goods departments
4. Hunt around a department store for better prices on needle nose pliers. You will almost always find a much better price on them in a different area than the sporting goods department
5. Snap swivels are not a good choice. If you need to attach a swivel to a lure use a snap ring
Did you see that too, I spelled swivel wrong, oops. Oh well, the video was uploaded and published when I noticed it.

    Ha! We always say 90% of fishing gear displayed catches fisherman but not fish! Lots of cool looking stuff that actually has no value on the water at all. What you see us use in our channel is what actually works. I’m sure you are that way also. Thanks for an interesting vid! -D&E

    I think when you are a newbie some of the pre-made rigs can help cut down on the confusion sometimes. then when you get to fishing even just a few days to a week can feel confident to move up on your own. fishing can be somewhat intimidating when just starting out. I know i was never so thankful for my late father-in-laws stuff. having something that was already ready for fishing helped cut down on my anxiety. Now i am learning to make my own rigs. I have been fishing regularly now for about two months now and I am about ready to move off of some store bought sibiki rigs to making my own. I am thankful for the store bought sibikies cuz it help me realize what i needed to look for.

The pomp rigs I use are 10lb fluro, one coastlock at the bottom, one swivel at the top both appropriately sized. Either 2 or 3 2/0 kahle hooks in gold, chartreuse or pink floats either with or without beads. I get without, usually pink floats. They work friggin awesome, and for 3 bucks I'd have to make an awful lot of them for it to be worth my time. I might buy 10 of them / year, it'd take me more than 30 bucks worth of time just to buy the stuff, much less pay for it. There is a guy that makes them up north a bit - but he makes something like 3000 - 4000 of them and has a pegboard jig for getting the drop loops the same every time. The setup is pretty cool, I'd do it if I used those that much.

    I’ve never had a double drop rig snap on me and also I caught a huge bull red with one a while back. They make several kinds, you have to get the right one. The popping cork you picked up, those serve a purpose, they are meant to be adjustable/ don’t have to re-tie a knot when making adjustments on how deep or shallow the ocean is and how far you want your bait to dropdown.

    Like some others have said, those brass swivels you picked up will slid down or up enough to open with a decent fish. The black ones on the first leader that are bent out keep that from being an issue, but it all comes down to checking the ratings when dealing with salt species or even catfish if your after large fish.

    Snap swivels are good for homade dropper rigs to put weights and change fast to another one I agree that tying directly into hooks and lures are a bad idea I personally think that beginners like them because you make 1 knot and you are done but manufacturers need to especially tell every items purpose and the reason why. Also I did not used lures but bought them just because then I stared using the spoon because I wanted to catch redfish then I started to catch a lot of fish (expect redfish) and currently is my favorite lure and I have caught ladyfish,whiting,Spanish mackerel and jack so I’m buying new ones to try them and I’m gaining trust on lures

    If you are using a fishfinder rig (sliding weight with a simple leader at the end) a snap swivel or "sinker slide" does well for that. But for rigs like the first premade rig he showed, a good end loop knot like the surgeon's loop or perfect loop knots are my go to's and achieve the same result. The only accessories i typically have on my premade rigs (i make all of my rigs... even snelled hooks) are barrel/ball bearing swivels, hooks, and (sometimes) small floats (think pompano rig floats or Lindy rig floats). As my situations change in my fishing areas, so too will my rig additions on my live bait rigs. I get inspirations all the time for different rigs to tie for different situations. Nowadays, i go in to local bait shops to see what the fish have been biting on to get live bait. But for all big box stores (like Walmart and bass pro shops) i go in mainly looking for terminal tackle to use for my forseeable fishing needs, and i get them in bulk as much as possible.

    What about a premade leader with clear line and a loop instead of a snap swivel?? Im just trying to catch Mackerel and im thinking of using it when i run out of sabikis...

    Use a uni to uni knot to attach braid to mono leader. If you are using live bait with mackerel be sure to use a long shank hook too.

    Snap swivels are great for dropshot fishing. If the weight gets stuck it can break off. Also easy to change weight

    Prospecting equipment is the same if it has anything to do with prospecting it's more expensive and you can get things at a fraction of the price. I guess the equivalent to "catches fisherman but not fish", is "don't mine gold, sell shovels" lol. That said the local fish store to me, sold me a few of the premade line sets, with the words, never buy them again. Just use them as templates going forward. For someone who fishes not very often, it has been great advice. I might go once every 6-8 months, and so never really remember how to set each one up. But using the premades as a template works wonders.

    I am the 3k-th like ! I wish I had seen your video when I was a beginner. Since then, I have been doing the opposite of your suggestions & my catch record sucks. Is the fishing section pliers fresh/salt water resistant & the other one not ? Which swivel would you recommend instead of the snap ones ?

    The pliers in the fishing section might be more saltwater resistant. I rinse my cheap pliers off when I'm finished fishing and give them a dab of oil occasionally, still in great shape. I seriously don't use snap swivels so I can't recommend anything. There are some called an Angler Power Clip that are supposed to be good for switching out hooks or lures fast. I've tried them...In my opinion I think they are okay for night fishing when a fishes vision isn't as good.

    Ahhh I found out so you use the BG 2500 reelnot bad of a price sad thing is I am down the road from the caloosahatchee river got a pier on the next street no pin that I could find I have only seen them in Clear waters only not brackish. I only have my learners permit for driving so can't drive unless someone with a license so hard to get to places to go get bait. You guys have a lot better fishing up where you're compared to down here in Fort Myers. Every time me and the girlfriend go out fishing we end up with nothing but cat fish. But we're fishing the bottom. Maybe from now on when fishing clear water I'll fish without a sinker. Ohh forgot to mention I don't use a sinker with pin fish only with live shrimp. But we fished for at least half hour had no baits. Charlotte Habor, Matlacha are shit for fishing.

    I used to buy small white glow in the dark plastic minnows. I swear by these things and can't find them anywhere. I fish off a pier that has lights shining into the water to attract fish. I charge up the glow in the dark minnows and cast out with a couple of split shot BB sinkers to give it a lil weight and Bam, every time white or speckled trout. A small treble hook with only a small enough piece of market shrimp or cut bait to cover the barbs will work also, just not be seen as well as the glow bait. The whiter the flesh the better. If I catch baby trout they become catfish bait but this method also catches fine size eating trout.

    I don't like pre-tied rigs for the following reasons: 1. I don't know what test line those are, and even if I do, most of the time they used the wrong one i'd use. 2. The hooks they tied - I don't know what quality those are and many times it's the wrong size I want' to use. 3. Just the whole thing- I noticed that the few pre-rigs I purchased (and learned my lesson not to buy more) , the leader are too short. I like to plan out my rig, based on where I fish, whether it's 1 hook or 2 hook setup and the weight also matters, depending on the strength of the the current or or how rocky and snaggy the bottom is. Basically it's all circumstantial and I haven't made a rig that works everywhere, I usually adjust my setup to the situation and the fish I'm after.
