Sea fishing includes angling from beaches, piers, bridges and boats. Salt water, waves, depth and heavier loads require tackle matched to the technique—from Baltic flatfish and herring to trips in Norwegian fjords.
Shore or boat fishing?
Shore fishing places emphasis on casting range, longer rods and weights that hold the seabed. From a boat, a shorter powerful rod is manageable, with lure or sinker weight matched to depth and drift.
Materials for marine conditions
Choose dependable hooks, swivels, clips and line; rinse tackle in fresh water after use. Check metal connections and line sections that contact the bottom regularly.
