It is necessary to take into consideration a leader when you purchase saltwater fishing tackle. In many cases, you needn't have a leader for fishing in freshwater but for fishing in saltwater you need a leader to ensure that the fish-s sharp rocks or mouth wouldn't cut through the line. Be sure you use the correct leader strength for the fish that you wish to catch.
You must also buy the lure keeping in mind the kind of fish you are going to catch.
At times the lure would have the attached hook. Other wise these things would come separately. When you look for a hook, buy the one that is made especially for saltwater as the wire that is used for freshwater hooks would not withstand the salt. Consider the hook size also carefully. When you choose bait, use the one which is being recommended for your species. This could include live lures, chum or metal lures and the weight would definitely make the hook sink so it is an important item in saltwater fishing tackle.
