Fishing and camping equipment

Organising your tackle

A well-organised fishing setup saves time and catches more fish. Bait and rig boxes, like the Korum Rig Blox, keep rigs, hooks, and beads neat. The foot rest platform Preston stabilises the pole angler on sloping banks. The backpack, like the Korum Progress, carries gear to the water's edge, and the cool bag keeps bait fresh.

The equipment is organised by use:

• Electronics, fish finders and electric motors.
• Bivouac.
• Biwys and umbrellas.
• No-kill, mats and nets.
• Comfort, chairs and platforms.
• Luggage.
• Transport.

Electronics and bivouac

On a boat, the fish finder, like those from Humminbird, shows depth, bottom structure, and fish with a transducer mounted below the hull. The electric motor, like those from Minn Kota, moves the boat quietly without scaring the fish. For long carp sessions, the bivouac is set up around a biwy, a shelter suited for fishing, or an umbrella, like the Avid Revolve, for day sessions.

No-kill

The no-kill practice involves releasing the fish after capture, a common practice in carp and predator fishing. A large net, a retaining mat that’s damp, and a disgorger, like the one from Matrix, allow for unhooking the fish without harming it. Handle it with wet hands and return it to the water quickly.

Fishing also includes rods, tackle, baits, clothing, found on the fishing page.

Good deals

Good bargains can also be found in the good deals, promotions, clearance, sales, and Black Friday. The new items showcase the latest collections, and the products shipped within 24 hours are prepared and dispatched in 24 hours. The highlights of the year follow a steady pattern: the Black Friday in late autumn, the year-end festivities, the winter sales, the French Days in spring, then the summer sales and back-to-school.

Frequently asked questions

What does a fish finder do?

The fish finder displays depth, bottom structure, and fish beneath the boat using sonar. It helps locate drop-offs, weeds, and schools of bait fish, where the predators are found.

What gear is needed for carp fishing?

You need powerful rods on a support, bite detectors, a large net, and a retaining mat. For night sessions, a biwy or an umbrella provides shelter by the water.

How to practice no-kill without harming the fish?

Use a barbless or crushed barb hook, a damp retaining mat, and handle the fish with wet hands. Quickly release it facing into the current and avoid keeping it out of the water for long.

Biwy or umbrella for a night of fishing?

The umbrella sets up in minutes and is suitable for a day or short night. The biwy, a proper fishing tent with a groundsheet, is ideal for multi-day sessions and bad weather.

What gear do I need to fish from the shore?

For surfcasting, use long rods on a tripod, heavy leads, and fluorocarbon line. A bucket, headlamp, and a waterproof bag complete the gear for night sessions.
