Tackle to fish for Sea Fish from a Boat
Pollack Caught on Fly
The tackle needed to fish in the sea in Wales from a boat does not differ from the tackle used in the rest of the UK. A boat or uptiding rod matched with a suitable multiplier or fixed spool reel will cater for most situations, the class of rod is dependent on the proposed quarry. A 60lb class rod will be most suitable for conger or Tope fishing and a 30lb rod might be better suited for Cod or pollack while lighter tackle will ensure you have the maximum sport from Bass, Whiting and any other smaller species you are likely to encounter. You will find at least one tackle shop in each town which will be more than happy to advise you on the tackle needed and will be even happier to supply you with eitems which you require to make your outfit complete. There are some local or regional variations in the terminal tackle used which again are best learnt from local anglers and tackle shops.
