Mark Your Questions About Fishing Gear

Mark asks…

Where is a good place to buy fishing gear?

I need to find a place that sells saltwater fishing gear. Good stuff though. Not junk. I live in Woodinville, Washington. Does anyone know where a good place is?

Daniel A Your Questions About Fishing Gear

Alex:

You and I are lucky since we have a Cabela’s nearby. Not everyone is so fortunate. The relatively short trip to Olympia (actually, Lacey), is worth it. It’s a fantastic store. It’s like a big mall (or candy store). The fishing sections are great…from inexpensive to top of the line. There’s a great selection of salmon gear.

I don’t know about you but for some purchases, I like to actually hold the items to contrast them. In my opinion, the store people at Cabela’s are knowledgeable and helpful. I guess because of our proximity to Puget Sound and the Pacific, this includes salt water gear and knowledge.

The store policies are great too. Last year, I bought a Daiwa Luna Model 300 reel. It was several weeks before I got to try it. I discovered I really needed the Model 203 with a narrower spool. They exchanged it, no questions asked. The receipt said, “Customer changed his mind.”

I suppose it’s not a major consideration but they have a great popcorn stand outside.

I found it a little tricky to get to even though it’s right off I-5. There are a couple of “round abouts” that still confuse me enough that I’m careful so I don’t wind up “exploring” nearby neighborhoods.

I’ll include a link so you can see the store, look at it’s inventory, and get directions if needed.

However, when I’m on the road fishin’, I think it’s important to support the local guys. So, I’ll find a local tackle shop for my supplies.

Happy shoppin’ and fishin’

Chris Your Questions About Fishing Gear

Chris asks…

What are the best websites to buy fishing gear/tackle?

What are the best websites to buy fishing gear/tackle online? I’m looking for good selection, competitive prices, easy navigation, and (most importantly) great user experience. I know about Cabelas and Bass Pro Shops but don’t have any experience with them. I’m looking for anything from huge websites that sell everything fishing related to small websites that focus on a few products. Please help me out.

A common question they all have is what fishing tackle do I need to get started. Here are a few things to keep in mind when your first starting out as a beginner hobby fisherman.

The first thing you want to determine is how serious are you about fishing as a hobby. Many people have never done it before so they need to consider this as they prepare to make their early purchases, because they cannot be certain if it will be something they will want to continue.

With this in mind you will want to set a budget on how much money you spend on what you need to begin fishing. You certainly do not need to be investing a large sum of money for something you may not continue to do.

Some would suggest that you start your fishing tackle with the absolute bare minimum until you determine how serious you are about your newly chosen fishing hobby.

Following this philosophy you would simply purchase some fishing line, a bobber that shows when there is action on your line, a sinker to give your line some weight, and a hook where you place your bait. Whenever fish take the bait you will see action in the bobber, and this is an exciting time for the new fisherman.

If your not Huckleberry Fin, and do not want to begin this wonderful sport looking like an eight year old, unless you are an eight year old – which then it is fine, you may not choose to begin fishing with such a simple kit. A quality fishing pole, and beginner tackle boxes, with pre-selected fishing tackle, can be purchased at almost any sporting goods store, or retail outlet, at a very reasonable price.

Once you have come to enjoy this wonderful sport and learned many of the techniques for the types of fish you have targeted, you can easily upgrade your fishing tackle and improve your skills as you improve your gear.
