Salt-resistant rockfishing accessories
Salt is highly corrosive to various metals. Accessories for sea fishing must therefore be made from salt-resistant materials and/or treated to resist corrosion.
Rockfishing, although practised from harbours or rocky coasts, is in direct contact with salt water. All the equipment used in rockfishing has to be easy to use, accessible at all times, corrosion-resistant and versatile so as not to get bogged down.
There are also accessories to protect your personal belongings, such as waterproof phone covers. These protect your phone from water and the salty environment.
Rockfishing accessories
As with all lure fishing techniques, rockfishing requires tools for unhooking fish and making rigs. You'll need accessories to cut off leaders and excess knots.
Unhooking pliers are needed to unhook fish in the best possible conditions. The pliers at splits rings to open the splits rings are used in certain rigs or to change hooks on swimming fish.
For those who like to measure their fish as a souvenir or for a competition between friends, you'll also find salt-resistant gauges.
Accessories for tough rockfishing rigs
Although most rockfishing fish are small, their power is far from proportional. They are real balls of nerves that provide a thrill using light tackle.
Rockfishing means rock fish, which means rock. Cluttered environments require tough lures and rigs.
That's why it's important to build abrasion-resistant fluorocarbon leaders in case your catch chooses to take refuge near the rocks.
These small but powerful fish need to be bridled. It is therefore necessary to choose line bodies and leaders that are thin but have very good tensile strength.
Rockfishing: salt-resistant tackle accessories
Rockfishing is practised by the sea or ocean. So you need salt- and corrosion-resistant tackle. Hooks, splits rings, barrel swivels and staples need to be chosen with care to ensure they are used in the best possible conditions and withstand all types of stress.
Mounting accessories that have been weakened by salt may not be able to withstand the pressure exerted by bass or mullet. In rockfishing, there is a huge variety of species to fish for. It's not impossible to come across some good-sized fish when looking for scorpion fish or other rock fish.
