What tackle for this fish?

Walking into a tackle shop with no plan is how you end up with a box of lures you never use. Pick your target and get a sensible starter setup - rod, line, hook and the baits that put fish in the net. Then narrow the lure to the day with the Lure Selector.

    This is a sensible starting point, not the only way to catch them. Local waters, season and what the fish are feeding on all shift the answer - ask at a local shop and watch what works on your water.
