Fishing tackle for saltwater or freshwater fishing
You should choose fishing tackle according to the type of fishing you want to do, but also according to the type of water.
Fishing gear designed for use in salt water can withstand the corrosion of salt water. It is also for larger fish that are stronger than freshwater fish. Therefore, you should not use freshwater fishing tackle in salt water.
