Technical Document No. 21 Training Manual for Tour Guiding in Sport Fishing Tip: Always store your reels with the drag set at no tension (free spool) or as low as it can go. This will prevent flat spots on drag material. You can set the clicker to “On” to prevent the reel from turning and line unwinding. 6
Technical Document No. 21 Training Manual for Tour Guiding in Sport Fishing UNIT 4: REEF FISHING EQUIPMENT PERSONAL GEAR Most gear, clothing and miscellaneous tackle you use for other fishing will serve you well in reef fishing such as polarized sunglasses, long-brimmed hats, protective footgear and sunblock. Other items such as tackle packs, boat bags, rain gear, and fast-drying clothing, while not essential, can make life more comfortable and productive. GENERAL BOAT GEAR For most reef fishing tours a 25 ft fiberglass skiff with a deep draft is required. Your boat should be equipped with a Bimini top and comfortable seating. Other items that are essential to have on your boat include: A 15 lbs Anchor with 100 ft of anchor rope Pole Live bait well Ice Cooler with ice and water Caste net Rod Holders Life vests Catch and release gaff All Licenses including boat license from port authority, tour guide license, and park license.

Bait Casting Reels The best quality is its exactness and precision when casting lures. Reel is set on top of the base of the rod. It is not for long casts but for short precision casting. 7
