Thread: What is termanal tackel

I was following a good thread on the best lure and read the term termanal tackel so I can smile nod my head but I really follow many of these threads to learn alright enough of that what is termanal tackel ?

Hooks,swivels,leaders. Basically everything but ur main line rod and reel

+1

just about any of the fishing tackle websites will have "terminal tackle" as a selection.

:headbang:

Terminal tackle pertains to whatever is at the 'terminus' or end of your line to present bait to the fish. :shark

The trick is to use whatever terminal tackle which will PROPERLY present your bait (in a natural manner) to entice fish to bite it.
That is why I always try to carry a variety (in sizes and styles) of hooks, weights and swivels and line in order to present naturally a variety of baits to specific fish species.

Hope this helps! :fishing:

Just saying natural isn't always the best, sometimes wild crazy things can really trigger those reaction strikes

Most lures are not "natural looking", but when "properly presented" they will entice that "reaction strike". :shark


The hook below would be 'un-natural' for properly presenting a 3" long live shrimp, but it would be appropriate for a large bait for shark fishing ;-)

This is a "wild and crazy thing" (and quite improper IMHO) and it likely won't catch fish either ;-)

Dude is going to need a cork or his Kool Aid is going to leak out of his cheek.

Is that an ironman gaff?

I hate when that happens!
