Live Bait & Tackle
What are you using for bait? What does your tacklebox entail? Whether
you choose live bait or a little plastic worm it will all come down to
which way you are most comfortable with, and what you have in your
tackle box that can help you when you need a quick change. Below you
will find some information in regards to live bait rigs as well as tips
and tricks to keeping your tackle box set correctly.
Live Bait Rigs
The best tip for when you are using live bait is to make it look as
natural as possible. You can do this by simply making sure your hooks
and line are small and light, and that they are matched up in size and
for which ever species of fish you are out hunting for.
The reason for the smaller and lighter lines and hooks is because if
they are too heavy then the fish will be able to see it, but when it is
lighter it truly looks more life like. Furthermore, when it comes to
bait rigs always remember that simpler is just better. And when it comes
to simple you will want to look into using Gang hooks.
 These Gang hooks are not only simple but they also work for all
different sorts of live bait fishing. For instance, when you use a live
worm these hooks allow for the worm to be stretched out and not simply
balled together.
However, if you are doing a bit of surf fishing then the two best live
bait rigs for your tackle would be the fireball rig and the live lining
rig. And to add to that great combination you will want to use a 3 to 4
oz pyramid sinker to help with the distance in casting.
Tackle Box
When it comes to a truly well set up tackle box you do not have to look
for something with lots of bells and whistles and shiny things. All you
need to do is make sure you have the basics and a few extras and you
will never have to worry about wasting your time sifting through the
mess.
Items
• Artificial surf bait
• Fishing Lures
• Two different types of live surf bait rigs with extra’s just in case
• Miscellaneous things like hooks, sinkers, swivels, and more
• The tools you need for which ever type of fishing you are doing
Although this list seems quite small it will definitely suffice for your
needs as the need for simplicity also reaches to your tacklebox.
