Freshwater

Freshwater Fishing equipment can vary depending on the type of environment you'll be fishing in, e.g lakes, rivers, streams or ponds, as well as the species of fish you are targeting. Ideally you will want to make sure that your combination of rod and reel is aligned with your fishing situation - lighter gear is more suitable for smaller fish and heavier gear is needed for larger species. The characteristics of your equipment such as the power and action of your rod should be selected based on the expected technique used as well as your personal comfort. Know that different types of freshwater fishing, whether going after popular targets like trout, bass, walleye, panfish, etc., call for slightly different choices in equipment and techniques. Talk to us about what you'd like to go after and where, and our friendly, experienced staff would be delighted to advise!. Reach out on our Contact form or call us 7 days a week at 203-866-1075.
