My Tackle Box

It is necessary that before you head out, you need to have a well-geared and well-stocked tackle box. As an angler, you must always be prepared. However, the contents in the box are solely based on the angler's personal preference. The following are some basic items that my personal tackle box has:

• Extra line-whether your line is broken, tangled or even based on the type of fish you're going to catch. Also, it depends on where you are going to fish. If you are going out in the sea you may need a more durable line compared to inshore fishing. 
• Hooks-my tackle box is filled with a variety of sizes in fishing hooks so that you will be prepared for any type of fishes available. 
• Bobbers or cork-this lets you know when you are getting bites from a fish and they float above the water as an indicator that you have something on your line. Anything that can float such as a champagne cork or Styrofoam will do the job just right. However, with pollution, I am sure that you will find something around just in case you forgot one at home. A simple bottle cover also works well.
• Sinkers-you need the hook to sink to the bottom of the water bed where the fishes are. These weights which are attached to the line assist in weighing down the line for it to stay underwater. 
• Lures-sometimes just a hook and some worms will do fine but you may run out of worm or may not find time to dig up some worms. Therefore having some artificial lures will come in handy. There is a variety to chose from such as minnows and spinners. Again, it is based on the person's preference. 
• Needle Nose Pliers-These are needed to unhook the fish from the line or even yourself.
• Small first aid kit- For any mishaps in the fishing adventure that may require some small attention. It will include plasters, antibacterial wipes, needles and Neosporin.
• Protective gloves-some fishes have spikes and can easily wound you. 
• Line clippers- to cut the line when tangled or to trim the line.
• Sharp knife such as a Swiss army knife. I have one which operates as a pocket knife and a multi-tool.
• A small flashlight
• Insect repellent-I usually walk around with citronella candles and light them wherever I am standing.
• Sunscreen
