Fishing in freshwaters can be different from fishing in saltwater. Water conditions, fish species, and flora are different. Having specific gear for freshwater fishing can help improve catch rates. Many freshwater fishing tackle items in Singapore come in different types and varieties. Let’s take a look at them.

Fishing Rods and Reels

 There are three different fishing rods: spinning rods, baitcasting rods, and telescopic rods. These rods are all suitable for freshwater fishing, but it’s the components that determine how they will perform in different water conditions. Pair your fishing rod with the Shimano Reel Baitcast Aldebaran BFS XG. This Ultralight Bait Finesse baitcast reel has the MGL Spool III incorporated in its design. It gives you long precise casts on small lures which appeal to a wider target range. 

Freshwater Lures 

You can find high-quality lures in Lure Haven which is the most premium fishing tackle shop in Singapore. Freshwater fishing lures are very versatile and can come in different varieties. Some of the best models of recommended freshwater fishing lures are Megabass Vision 110 Oneten, Zipbaits Khamsin, Evergreen Combat Crank, Jackall Bonnie, Duo Realis Pencil, Bassday Range Vibe etc. These lures will help you search all the depths to locate where the fish are holding at. 

Lines 

For Singapore’s freshwater canals and reservoirs, lines in the 4-10 lb range provide a good balance of strength and sensitivity. The Sunline Siglon and the Varivas 8 come in natural colors and are very suitable to pair with freshwater spinning and baitcast reels.
