Have you ever been to fishing with your father or grandfather? They say it’s a way of spending some quality time with your family members. Not only that, it’s sort of a favourite pass time for millions of people all over the world.

Here, we are going to talk about a very common, yet popular way of fishing, called as Angling. This kind of fishing method uses a special hook called as “angle”, which is attached by the help of a reel to the fishing rod. This is sort of a mechanism that works extremely well for the purpose of storing, retrieving or playing the line out. The main equipments required for angling are Rods, Hooks, Line, Spoons, Baits and Reel. The best of the fishing rods used in angling are hand crafted using the premium materials and great attention to detail.

Now a days angling has become a very popular sport. “Catch and Release” is one of the most popular fishing technique generally used by recreational fishermen. Normally most of the anglers keep the fishes that they happen to catch for their own consumption but this catch and release is becoming very popular especially between the fly anglers. The rationale behind it is releasing the fish post catching it and let the fish survive further. In many parts of the world there are laws related to fishing with angles. What I mean here is that as per the prevalent law there, anglers would have to release the fish if they are below a certain size.

There are a lot of controversies around pain being caused to fishes by the anglers, just for the sake of their sport. There are also arguments against the logic which says that fishes normally feed on hard and spiky preys in the water, thus they are accustomed to the same and just biting on the bait does not make much of a difference. In Manitoba, a province in Canada its really been made mandatory that, any angler who ends up hooking a brook trout has to follow the catch and release. In case you are trying to do some fishing using angles in Ireland, you need to keep yourself enlightened about the fact that catch and release is mandatory there.

But the good question is does the fishes really feel the pain when the angle pierces them. The answer is, of course they do. There have been some experiments that have been done on a toadfish by William Travolta. In his experiment the toadfish grunted when it was exposed to some electric shocks. Then eventually it grunted even at the sight of the electrode. This certainly means they too feel the pain when pierced by the angles.

Going for fishing? Let us see what all we need to gear for a fishing trip. The last time I went fishing, these were the following things I packed : need rod, reel, line, flies, fly boxes, leaders, leader straightener, tippet, wadding staff, wading belt, fishing jacket, rain jacket, net, quick release lanyard for net, polarized sunglasses, flashlight buy, clipper, forceps, sun block, fisherman’s bag.

When we were a kid, we used to carry an old cane pole with a length of line. On it there was a hook and bobber. This old cane can still work in the warm weather for fishing.

I always carry a fishing vest to carry all my fishing gear. It is available at any decent sports store. Now let us make a list of everything we can keep in our fishing vest for fishing. Finalize what all is really needed, and stick to it.

1. Weights and swivels: You will need weights and swivels of different sizes. I prefer to keep mine in empty film containers as they are a convenient way to carry.

2. Hooks: Always keep some hooks for backup.

3. Stainless steel pliers: This is used to remove hooks from the fish’s mouth. Make sure you carry two of them. I personally prefer hemostats.

4. Spinners/Spoons: Keep some plastic boxes with spoons and spinners of all sizes. You must have at least two of each option.

5. Match sticks and a lighter kept in a Ziploc bag: It is always better to keep this while going fishing as you never know when you will need a fire.

6. Bait bag: Just hook on a bait bag along your vest as it is the easiest way to carry live baits. If you do not want to buy one, you can also make one at home.

7. Power bar: Something to eat if you are hungry.

8. Waterproof flashlight: During dark, you can flash light even 2 miles away.

9. Nail clipper: You should always keep them while going fishing.

10. Wader repair kit: will be needed when you pop a hole in your wader and you are 2 miles away from your truck and its raining.

Angling is a sport fishing which requires a lot of patience. If you are gearing for an angling, then the basic equipment required will be rod, line, spoon, hooks and reel. So make sure you remember to keep these while planning an angling.
