Before you plan for your fishing adventure in Goa, these are some of the fishing equipment and personal belongings you need to carry for a fun-filled and thrilling adventure without any worry.
- Fishing reels and rods
Fishing rods are slender flexible poles that allow casting of the fishing line further deep in the water. Choosing the right kind of rods depends on the type of fishing.
The fishing reel is attached to your rod helps to wind the line and draw the catch. There are plenty of fishing accessories available in Goa.
- Fishing Lines
Your new fishing reel will come with a fishing line, but it is always a good idea to take extra fishing lines incase you find it necessary. Fishing lines should be strong and transparent (avoids fish from detecting the line)
- Fishing Hooks
Apart from fishing lines, you definitely need fishing hooks to catch fish of different sizes. These hooks are shaped inorder to facilitate the right catch.
- Fish Baits
Baits are attached to the end of the fishing line to attract fish. You can either use live or artificial bait for fishing. The most common live baits are earthworms and small freshwater fish. You can use artificial soft baits which can also be used for attracting the fish.
- Tackle Box
Last but not least is the tackle box, which is used to store all your fishing equipment in one box i.e hooks, sinkers, lures, pliers, and all your other small tools. This will help you to keep your things organized. Tackle Boxes are available in various sizes.
Now, Personal Belonging:
- Extra pair of clothes
Clothing is an important consideration while you are on a fishing adventure. Always carry extra clothes which fit well, comfortable to wear and safe.

Whether it’s a bright sunny or cloudy day we should use sun protection on our skin.
- First Aid Kit
It is essential to carry a small first aid kit with bandages, alcohol swabs, medical tape, pain relievers, antihistamines and antibiotic ointment. This comes in handy for treating cuts, scrapes, headaches and so on.
