Fishing can be as simple or complex as the game fish you’re targeting. Not surprisingly, some fish species require significantly more gear than others. For example, catching redfish off a dock requires less gear than targeting yellowfin tuna on a center console boat. In the United States alone, fishing generates billions in sales each year. Salt Water Sportsman helps you cut through the clutter by highlighting the newest quality fishing gear, including marine electronics, saltwater fishing tackle, apparel and fishing accessories. 

Fishing tackle includes all the rods, reels, line, leader and terminal tackle an angler uses when fishing. Salt Water Sportsman guides you through all the gear available today. There’s so much fishing tackle to pick from that it’s impossible to cover everything, but popular, high-quality equipment from all the biggest manufacturers is highlighted below. 

Not counting the boat hull and engines, marine electronics are the most expensive purchase for your fishing boat. Savvy anglers research products on the market when getting ready to update their multifunction display unit or VHF radio. In fact, check out Salt Water Sportsman’s electronics product reviews before buying any piece of boating electronics, whether its a camera monitoring system, transducer, portable GPS unit or other gadget.
