Fishing Tackle Boxes in the UK: A Few Handy Supplies to Carry
When you’re gearing up for the start of fishing season, part of the fun is fitting out your fishing tackle box with all the essentials you might need. Though it’s unlikely that you’re forget bobbers, line, sinkers, leaders, and hooks, you could fail to pack everything you need, which could spell disaster for your otherwise fun and relaxing venture. Let’s look at the “must have’s” for your fishing trip.
Fishing Tackle Boxes -Pliers with a Needle Nose
One critical item for your tackle box are needle nose pliers. Needle nose pliers make things simple when it comes to separating a fish from a hook. Be certain to pick a needle nose containing an integrated cutter. A cutter is useful for cutting off the end of a hook before pulling it out of a fish. They can also be helpful for crimping split shot and leaders on your line.
Knife
Pick a strong knife that can be used for many things. A stainless steel blade is essential, along with a fairly large blade. A partly serrated blade provides you with maximum usefulness. It should also be rugged enough to fillet or clean a fish. Two excellent accessories found on a quality knife are a remover and a scaler~scaler and hook disgorger}.
File
A file can aid you in maintaining a sharp edge on your hooks, and with some practice, your knife as well. Choose a small triangular shaped file with a different abrasive surface on each side. You can also choose a whetstone, but using one properly takes some practice.
Toilet Roll
Let’s be honest – when you need it, there’s no substitute. You don’t actually have to take a complete roll with you. Roll off a decent amount of paper and place it inside a plastic bag. But be sure to take plenty and you’ll probably want to include paper towels or Kleenexes in addition. If nothing else, they make great tinder should you have to build a fire.
Fishing Tackle Boxes -Fingernail Clipper
This tool often comes with a built-in file that’s good for sharpening hooks. Use the clipper itself for clipping line.
Cigarette Lighter
Should you need to make a fire for some reason, this is an essential tool to have. Other uses include fixing damaged plastic worms and to stop a nylon rope from fraying.
Emergency Kit
A portable kit that fits inside a pocket is your best option. The kit should include something to cleanse a wound, dress a wound, and/or kill the germs around a wound. Gauze pads and an Ace® bandage are good items to add to the kit. Make sure to carry pain-killers such as aspirin. Finally, don’t forget the sunscreen.
Insect Repellent
Getting eaten up by bugs and insects is a sure-fire way to have a miserable outing, so make sure your tackle box includes some bug spray to keep those pests far, far away.
Fishing Tackle Boxes -Travel-Size Snacks
Pack a few energy bars or granola bars. They are part of a good, healthy lunch—and so are raisins and nuts.
Once you’re set with all this gear, you can concentrate on landing that trophy specimen!
