Terminal Tackle

Just like reels and rods, there's myriad of choices when it comes to the hooks to use when catching fish. Terminal tackle is the gear that's attached to the end of a fishing line, and can include hooks, sinkers, weights, floats, swivels, snaps, dodgers and flashers. At Walmart, you can get all the right gear at the right prices so you can Save Money. Live Better.

What are some types of terminal tackle?

• Hooks: Fishing hooks are devices that are attached at the end of a line to catch fish. You can choose from a wide variety of shapes, sizes and designs so you can find the right one for your fishing style.
• Sinkers and weights: Sinkers and weights are used along with a lure or a hook to help increase anchoring or casting distance. Sinkers and weights come in a variety of different shapes and weights, perfect for everything from fly fishing to deep-sea fishing.
• Floats: Unlike sinkers and weights, floats and bobbers can suspend your bait and carry it to otherwise inaccessible areas of water. It can also serve as a bite indicator, letting you know when you've got a fish on the line.
• Snaps and swivels: To maximize the action of your spoon, you can use a snap instead of direct tying to your line. For lures and spoons that spin, a swivel will help it spin more freely.
• Dodgers and flashers: Dodgers and flashers can help attract fish by simulating light deflecting off a hurt fish. Flashers spin at higher speeds, while dodgers gently float back and forth.
