How to get your tackle in Trinidad?

Whether you are new to fishing or a seasoned angler; you need the tools of the trade to get things done. This is where tackle shops come in to play. Below I would list some must-have items that I carry with me on my fishing trips followed by some tackle shops in Trinidad that you can visit to source your supplies.
