Fishing Tackle For Sale Online
Rods and reels might get the glory, but it's the small pieces of terminal tackle—the hooks, sinkers, swivels, and line—that create the critical connection to the fish. We stock a comprehensive range of high-quality fishing tackle to help you build the perfect rig for any Australian fishing situation.
Your Expert Guide to Essential Fishing Tackle
Choosing the right fishing tackle is the secret to turning a good day into a great one. While every angler loves a quality rod and reel, it's the "terminal" end of your setup that fish interact with. Understanding how to select and assemble these components is the key to presenting your bait or lure perfectly and successfully landing your catch. This guide breaks down the essentials.
A Note From Our Local Experts
"We see it all the time in the shop: anglers will spend a fortune on a high-end combo but then use a cheap, thick hook or the wrong leader. The small details matter most. Choosing the right hook for your bait, the right sinker weight for the current in the Illawarra channel, and the right leader for the species you're targeting is what separates a successful angler from a frustrated one. We've curated our tackle range to include only reliable, proven gear that we know works in our local conditions."

Understanding the Core Tackle Systems
A complete fishing setup can be broken down into two main systems: your line and your terminal tackle.
- Fishing Line: Your direct connection to the fish. Modern fishing typically involves a braided line for sensitivity and a nearly-invisible fluorocarbon leader for stealth and abrasion resistance.
- Terminal Tackle: This refers to all the small items at the end of your line. Getting these right is the key to a perfect rig, and includes everything from hooks and sinkers to swivels and split rings.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is 'terminal tackle'?
It's a collective term for all the gear tied to the end of your fishing line, such as hooks, sinkers, swivels, and leaders. It's the "business end" of your fishing setup.
How do I choose the right hook size?
The golden rule is to match the hook size to your bait. You want a hook that is small enough to present the bait naturally but large and strong enough to get a secure hook-up on your target species. Always check our product recommendations for guidance.
How do I choose the right sinker weight?
The key is to use the lightest sinker you can that still allows you to hold the bottom in the current and maintain contact with your bait. Too heavy, and your presentation will be unnatural; too light, and you won't be in the strike zone.
