Fishing gear. That's a pretty general term, huh? The term fishing gear could encompass almost anything, seeing as how there are literally millions of different types of fishing gear. In this article, I'm going to discuss some of the most important types of fishing gear that the average anglers should be using. Some will fall into the tackle category, some in the equipment category, and some simply in the efficiency category. Let's all keep in mind what Steven Wright Said of us anglers, "There's a fine line between fishing and just standing on the shore like an idiot."
