If you’re new to ice fishing, you probably have many questions about ice fishing tackle. Being a newbie in a sport can be intimidating, but here are a few basic tips to help you get started with building up your own supply of tackle.

First, tackle is the term that refers to fishing gear. While some people use the word tackle to refer to terminal tackle such as bait and hooks, it can really be applied to any type of gear. Ice fishing tackle can include rods, reels, hooks, lines, sinkers, and bait.

When going ice fishing, you’ll need to have at least the minimum amount of tackle in order to enjoy your experience and succeed at catching fish. Let’s take a look at some of the most important equipment for an ice fisherman.

You’ll need to be able to create a hole. To do this, you’ll need an ice auger. This is a tool that helps you to drill a hole in the ice. You’ll also need a skimmer to help remove ice chips from the hole and allow access to fish.

You may not think about this, but you’ll need a seat of some kind. There seats you can buy from a sporting goods store that are portable and allow comfort for a long day on the ice. You’ll need a bait bucket and a dip net as well. The dip net will allow you to get out bait without getting your hands wet. In cold temperatures, staying dry is the most important consideration.

You’ll obviously need a fishing rod in order to catch fish. The type of rod you choose depends on the type of fish you’re going to try to catch. You’ll want to talk to local fisherman about what type of fish are common in your area so you’ll know what type of rod you need.

After deciding on a rod, you’ll need the appropriate line for your rod. You’ll also need hooks, leaders, jigs, and lures. All of these items can be purchased when you’ve made your choice of a rod. Online sites are good at offering special kits that include all you need at a discounted price.

In addition to ice fishing tackle, you need to make sure you’re prepared to stay warm in icy cold conditions. You’ll need to have appropriate clothing that can keep you not only warm, but also dry. Having the proper attire along with ice fishing tackle can make your sport fun and safe.
