HISTORY
Fishing has been known by humans since ancient civilization about 10,000
years ago. This is evident from the archaeological relics of ancient caves in
Europe. Fishing activity has been used since the discovery of the bones,
hooks and drawing or painting on the rocks in the cave. Some say fishing
techniques has been introduced in the Neolithic time around 4000-8000
years ago that evolved into a more modern technique and is still used to this
day. Similarly, the processing of the fish, now how is still done with the same
technique for example curing fish with salt or by evaporation or we call it

Fishing Line/Fishing Rod

At this time the most favorite fishing sport and hobby and can be done alone
is to use fishing line or fishing rod. The equipment that needs to start this
activity is reel, rod, string/line and hook. At the end of the line attached to
one or more hooks which each hook baited live or artificial bait.

Equipment and Accessories

Tackle Box: Very useful for carrying all your equipment for fishing. A wide variety of
models and brands of the tackle box. I suggest you do not buy too little, because you
will buy more and buy more because your tackle box too small. At least 40-60cm long.
Make sure all your fishing equipment (other than rods) can enter freely in your box.
Spool: There are two types: spool pin and spool usual. Become familiar and always
wear a swivel on each connection bite of the line guide (leader). The main benefit is to
reduce the bite twist.
Tin: tin / weights used are the numbers 1-3-5-8, and use an elongated shape / like a
bullet, because the tin round / oval, twisted cause bite.
Hook: Hooks size is used between.1,2,5,6,7 (sometimes different brands of the
numbers). Replace hooks were rusty or dull; or look for hooks sharp, but relatively
inexpensive so you can use it later discarded (disposable / single-use).
Lines/Strings: Common and decent size is 8-20 lbs. For the selection of the brand's, it
is up to you and your financial situation. I personally would use 8-10 lbs lines. It is for
ground fishing type (sea bass and grouper).
Reel: In this case you only need a capstan roller for a good Type Spinning is:
lightweight, have at least 3 wheel bearings (ball bearing), the more the better, 200400m capacity lines. Equipment for this one, I need to say: Money never lies, never buys
the cheap ones, especially if the brands is not from such as: Shimmano and Daiwa.
Better the money saved up enough to buy it first, of disappointment and regret.
Rod: Rods should be without connection (one piece), or connect a maximum of two
(two pieces).
Materials commonly used are glass fiber, carbon, graphite, boron, or Kevlar. Appropriate
rod length between 120 cm to 180 cm. Sizes commonly used around 5 '6 "to 6' (5 feet 6
inch s / d 6 feet) of about 168 ~ 180 cm, usually this size is in the body of the rod. The
brand most common are: Shimano, Daiwa, Fenwyck , Berkley and others.
Become familiar selecting a light rod and a little stiff for fast and precise reactions. And
for the selection of this rod, it is up to you and fits your budget. I suggest choosing a not
too expensive.

Floats: Usually made of wood, foam, cork, fiberglass or plastic, for use as a float in
accordance with the light and can float on the water surface.
Bait: Consists of a wide variety, ranging from artificial baits such as natural ingredients
to feed live or die as small fish, shrimp or squid.
Scissors: Beneficial to becoming a cutting tool / cut either for bait, bite tangled or
damaged circuits hook / puzzler.
