Saltwater

Saltwater Fishing presents its own set of challenges due to the harsher environment and the types of fish you will typically encounter, which will also tend to be more aggressive. Thus your fishing equipment destined for saltwater use needs to be more durable and resistant to corrosion than what you would use in freshwater fishing. Your gear should ideally be made from titanium or stainless steel with corrosion-resistant coating, the rods should be strong and durable to handle larger fish, reels should be of sealed construction, and there are countless additional details to consider depending on whether you'll be fishing from a boat, from a pier, standing on the shore, or in the surf.
