What equipment do I need for sea fishing?

Generally speaking a rod, reel, line, hooks, weight and bait, but the type of rods, reels and set up you choose will vary depending on the species and style of sea fishing you are looking to partake in.

Can I use a freshwater rod for sea fishing?

What are the main differences between the rods? Generally speaking no, as often most coarse rods will not be powerful enough to handle the demands required. For some species, you can use coarse tackle, for example, mullet or smaller species, but I would encourage you to ensure you wash the kit down fully after use to prevent salt water from damaging it.

What should be the main considerations when choosing a rod for sea fishing?

This will be the type of fishing you are looking to partake in. Rock/lure fishing, beach casting or fishing from a boat etc and then the species you are targeting. For mackerel/smooth hounds your rods would be much lighter in power compared to a boat uptide rod you would use for conger eel for example.

What size reel is right for me?

The main consideration will be the type of rod you are marrying it up to, from which you can decide if you require a fixed spool or a multiplier-type reel, and then balance the size accordingly.

What are the main differences between the cheaper reels and the more expensive models?

The main difference will be the quality of the materials used, as more expensive rods are lighter, and more responsive, and should offer better longevity.

Which is the best line for sea fishing?

This will depend on what you are fishing for, and the method you are using.
