Fishing Gear Types

Fishing gear includes various tools and devices used to catch fish. Common types include rods and reels for casting lines, nets of different sizes and shapes to scoop or trap fish, and traps or pots that lure fish in temporarily. Lines may have hooks, lures, or baits attached to attract fish. Gear is selected based on fishing method, target species, and environment, such as freshwater or saltwater. Each type of gear has specific designs to optimize catch efficiency while minimizing environmental impact. Proper gear ensures sustainable and effective fishing practices.
