Terminal Tackle
Terminal Tackle
Terminal tackle is everything at the business end — the components between your mainline and the fish. It is the cheapest part of the outfit and the part most likely to lose you a good fish, because every rig fails at its weakest connection.
The components
Hooks are the decision that matters most, and pattern matters more than price. Different shapes suit bait, plastics and live baits, and circle patterns are the standard where fish are to be released.
Swivels stop line twist, which is what ruins a spool of mono after a few sessions of spinning or trolling. Snaps let you change lures without retying, at the cost of one more connection that can fail.
Sinkers get the bait down and hold it there, with the shape doing as much work as the weight — a ball rolls with the tide, a star grips the bottom in a run.
Then the small parts that hold it all together: split rings, crimps, beads, clips and rig keepers. Quality shows here more than anywhere, because these are the components under direct load.
Browse fishing hooks and swivels and snaps for the full range.
Frequently asked questions
What is terminal tackle?
Everything tied on at the end of your line — hooks, swivels, snaps, sinkers, rings, crimps and beads. It is the gear that connects your mainline to the bait or lure.
Do I need a swivel on every rig?
Not always, but you want one anywhere the rig can spin. Trolling, spinning and running sinker rigs all twist line badly without one.
What is the strongest part of a rig?
Whichever part you did not think about. Rigs fail at the weakest link, so matching component strength across the whole rig matters more than any single item.
