Inside my tackle box

When I first began fishing, I had no idea what equipment I truly needed. Over time, I have put together a simple but reliable set of tools, which I think is perfect for beginners:

1.      Rod and reel – I use a medium spinning rod. It is light, easy to carry, and ideal for river fishing. The spinning reel is straightforward and perfect for learning.

2.      Fishing line – I usually fish with a 0.25 mm line. It is flexible yet strong enough for perch, pike, and even carp.

3.      Hooks and sinkers – I keep hooks of various sizes. Small ones work best for fish like roach or perch. I also carry small lead sinkers to help my bait sink to the right depth.

4.      Floats – A float is a fisherman’s eye in the water. I prefer small plastic floats – bright, simple, and very effective.

5.      Bait – My favourites are worms, corn, and bread – natural and always available.

6.      Other tools – In my bag, there are always scissors, a net, a towel, and a bucket. These little things make fishing much easier.

Fishing does not require expensive equipment. What truly matters is being prepared, and above all, finding joy in the experience.
