fishing equipment

Rod and reel

Fishing equipment is the gear used to catch fish—rods, reels, lines, hooks, lures, nets, and tackle boxes.

The term covers everything from a child's simple pole to sophisticated fly-fishing setups: We loaded the fishing equipment into the boat.

Also called fishing gear or fishing tackle.
