Gear

To assist in your fishing pursuits there is a great deal of specialized gear available to purchase. These include Rods, Reels, Lines, Lures, Bobbers, Bait, Carrying Cases, Fishnets, and more.

The bare essentials that are required in order to fish are a Rod, Reel, a Line, and either a lure or a bobber/hook/bait combo. The key to a quality gear set is one where the rod is the strongest element, while the line is the weakest. This reduces the wear and tear on the expensive set pieces (the rod and reel), while allowing the line to take the brunt of the maintenance requirements as the cheapest part to maintain.
