The word "gorge", in this context, comes from an archaic word meaning "throat". Gorges were used by ancient peoples to capture fish. A gorge was a long, thin piece of bone or stone attached by its midpoint to a thin line. The gorge would be fixed with a bait so that it would rest parallel to the lay of the line. When a fish swallowed the bait, a tug on the line caused the gorge to orient itself at right angles to the line, thereby sticking in the fish's <a href="/wiki/Esophagus" title="Esophagus">gullet</a>. </p><p>A fish hook is a device for catching fish either by impaling them in the mouth or, more rarely, by snagging the body of the fish. Fish hooks have been employed for millennia by anglers to catch fresh and saltwater fish. Early hooks were made from the upper bills of eagles and from bones, shells, horns and thorns of plants (Parker 2002). In 2005, the fish hook was chosen by <i>Forbes</i> as one of the top twenty tools in the history of man.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Fish hooks are normally attached to some form of <a href="/wiki/Fishing_line" title="Fishing line">line</a> or <a href="/wiki/Fishing_lure" title="Fishing lure">lure</a> device which connects the caught fish to the angler. There is an enormous variety of fish hooks. Sizes, designs, shapes, and materials are all variable depending on the intended purpose of the hook. They are manufactured for a range of purposes from general fishing to extremely limited and specialized applications. Fish hooks are designed to hold various types of artificial, processed, dead or live <a href="/wiki/Fishing_bait" title="Fishing bait">baits</a> (<a href="/wiki/Bait_(luring_substance)" title="Bait (luring substance)">bait fishing</a>); to act as the foundation for artificial representations of fish prey (<a href="/wiki/Fly_fishing" title="Fly fishing">fly fishing</a>); or to be attached to or integrated into other devices that represent fish prey (<a href="/wiki/Fishing_lure" title="Fishing lure">lure fishing</a>). </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Lines">Lines</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Fishing_tackle&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Lines"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/Fishing_line" title="Fishing line">Fishing line</a></div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Angeln_zubehoer_haken.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/6c/Angeln_zubehoer_haken.jpg/220px-Angeln_zubehoer_haken.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="266" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/6c/Angeln_zubehoer_haken.jpg/330px-Angeln_zubehoer_haken.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/6c/Angeln_zubehoer_haken.jpg/440px-Angeln_zubehoer_haken.jpg 2x" data-file-width="963" data-file-height="1166" /></a><figcaption>Fishing line with hooks attached</figcaption></figure> <p>A <a href="/wiki/Fishing_line" title="Fishing line">fishing line</a> is a cord used or made for fishing.

The ordinary plain sinker is traditionally made of <a href="/wiki/Lead" title="Lead">lead</a>.

This is a decided improvement, as it prevents the line from twisting and tangling. In trolling, swivel sinkers are indispensable. The slide sinker, for bottom fishing, is a leaden tube which allows the line to slip through it, when the fish bites. This is an excellent arrangement, as the angler can feel the smallest bite, whereas in the other case the fish must first move the sinker before the angler feels him. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Fishing_rods">Fishing rods</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Fishing_tackle&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Fishing rods"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/Fishing_rod" title="Fishing rod">Fishing rod</a></div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Deepsea.JPG" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/77/Deepsea.JPG/220px-Deepsea.JPG" decoding="async" width="220" height="165" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/77/Deepsea.JPG/330px-Deepsea.JPG 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/77/Deepsea.JPG/440px-Deepsea.JPG 2x" data-file-width="2048" data-file-height="1536" /></a><figcaption>Fishing with a fishing rod</figcaption></figure> <p>A fishing rod is an additional tool used with the hook, line and sinker.

As they evolved they were made from materials such as split Tonkin bamboo, Calcutta reed, or ash wood, which were light, tough, and pliable. The butts were frequently made of maple. Handles and grips were made of cork, wood, or wrapped cane. Guides were simple wire loops. </p><p>Modern rods are sophisticated casting tools fitted with line guides and a <a href="/wiki/Fishing_reel" title="Fishing reel">reel</a> for line stowage.

The line on a fishing rod is controlled with a specialised reel which allows accurate casting. A fishing pole does not have a reel. Instead the line is just tied directly to the tip of the pole, or is tied to some sort of elastic mechanism at the tip. Poles can be up to 18 m in length and are made of optional sections which can be slotted together by the angler. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Fishing_reels">Fishing reels</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Fishing_tackle&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: Fishing reels"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/Fishing_reel" title="Fishing reel">Fishing reel</a></div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Fishing_reel.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/98/Fishing_reel.jpg/220px-Fishing_reel.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="158" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/98/Fishing_reel.jpg/330px-Fishing_reel.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/98/Fishing_reel.jpg/440px-Fishing_reel.jpg 2x" data-file-width="857" data-file-height="614" /></a><figcaption>A spinning reel</figcaption></figure> <p>A fishing reel is a device used for the deployment and retrieval of a fishing line using a spool mounted on an <a href="/wiki/Axle" title="Axle">axle</a>.

There are essentially two types of trap, a permanent or semi-permanent structure placed in a river or tidal area and pot-traps that are baited to attract prey and periodically lifted. They might have the form of a <a href="/wiki/Fishing_weir" title="Fishing weir">fishing weir</a> or a <a href="/wiki/Lobster_trap" title="Lobster trap">lobster trap</a>. A typical trap can have a frame of thick steel wire in the shape of a <a href="/wiki/Heart" title="Heart">heart</a>, with <a href="/wiki/Chicken_wire" title="Chicken wire">chicken wire</a> stretched around it. The mesh wraps around the frame and then tapers into the inside of the trap. When a fish swims inside through this opening, it cannot get out, as the chicken wire opening bends back into its original narrowness. In earlier times, traps were constructed of wood and fibre. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Fish_stringer">Fish stringer</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Fishing_tackle&action=edit&section=12" title="Edit section: Fish stringer"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:%D0%9F%D1%80%D0%BE%D1%81%D1%82%D0%B5%D0%B9%D1%88%D0%B8%D0%B9_%D0%BA%D1%83%D0%BA%D0%B0%D0%BD_%D0%B4%D0%BB%D1%8F_%D0%BF%D0%BE%D0%B4%D0%B2%D0%BE%D0%B4%D0%BD%D0%BE%D0%B9_%D0%BE%D1%85%D0%BE%D1%82%D1%8B.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c6/%D0%9F%D1%80%D0%BE%D1%81%D1%82%D0%B5%D0%B9%D1%88%D0%B8%D0%B9_%D0%BA%D1%83%D0%BA%D0%B0%D0%BD_%D0%B4%D0%BB%D1%8F_%D0%BF%D0%BE%D0%B4%D0%B2%D0%BE%D0%B4%D0%BD%D0%BE%D0%B9_%D0%BE%D1%85%D0%BE%D1%82%D1%8B.jpg/220px-%D0%9F%D1%80%D0%BE%D1%81%D1%82%D0%B5%D0%B9%D1%88%D0%B8%D0%B9_%D0%BA%D1%83%D0%BA%D0%B0%D0%BD_%D0%B4%D0%BB%D1%8F_%D0%BF%D0%BE%D0%B4%D0%B2%D0%BE%D0%B4%D0%BD%D0%BE%D0%B9_%D0%BE%D1%85%D0%BE%D1%82%D1%8B.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="138" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c6/%D0%9F%D1%80%D0%BE%D1%81%D1%82%D0%B5%D0%B9%D1%88%D0%B8%D0%B9_%D0%BA%D1%83%D0%BA%D0%B0%D0%BD_%D0%B4%D0%BB%D1%8F_%D0%BF%D0%BE%D0%B4%D0%B2%D0%BE%D0%B4%D0%BD%D0%BE%D0%B9_%D0%BE%D1%85%D0%BE%D1%82%D1%8B.jpg/330px-%D0%9F%D1%80%D0%BE%D1%81%D1%82%D0%B5%D0%B9%D1%88%D0%B8%D0%B9_%D0%BA%D1%83%D0%BA%D0%B0%D0%BD_%D0%B4%D0%BB%D1%8F_%D0%BF%D0%BE%D0%B4%D0%B2%D0%BE%D0%B4%D0%BD%D0%BE%D0%B9_%D0%BE%D1%85%D0%BE%D1%82%D1%8B.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c6/%D0%9F%D1%80%D0%BE%D1%81%D1%82%D0%B5%D0%B9%D1%88%D0%B8%D0%B9_%D0%BA%D1%83%D0%BA%D0%B0%D0%BD_%D0%B4%D0%BB%D1%8F_%D0%BF%D0%BE%D0%B4%D0%B2%D0%BE%D0%B4%D0%BD%D0%BE%D0%B9_%D0%BE%D1%85%D0%BE%D1%82%D1%8B.jpg/440px-%D0%9F%D1%80%D0%BE%D1%81%D1%82%D0%B5%D0%B9%D1%88%D0%B8%D0%B9_%D0%BA%D1%83%D0%BA%D0%B0%D0%BD_%D0%B4%D0%BB%D1%8F_%D0%BF%D0%BE%D0%B4%D0%B2%D0%BE%D0%B4%D0%BD%D0%BE%D0%B9_%D0%BE%D1%85%D0%BE%D1%82%D1%8B.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1280" data-file-height="801" /></a><figcaption>Simple fish stringer for spearfishing</figcaption></figure> <p>A <a href="/wiki/Fish_stringer" title="Fish stringer">fish stringer</a> is a line of rope or chain along which an angler can string fish that have been caught so they can be immersed and kept alive in water.<sup id="cite_ref-Toth_14-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Toth-14"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>14<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Fly_fishing_tackle">Fly fishing tackle</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Fishing_tackle&action=edit&section=13" title="Edit section: Fly fishing tackle"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/Fly_fishing_tackle" title="Fly fishing tackle">Fly fishing tackle</a></div> <p><a href="/wiki/Fly_fishing_tackle" title="Fly fishing tackle">Fly fishing tackle</a> is equipment used by, and often specialised for use by <a href="/wiki/Fly_fishing" title="Fly fishing">fly anglers</a>.

Fishing tackle boxes were originally made of wood or wicker and eventually some metal fishing tackle boxes were manufactured. The first plastic fishing tackle boxes were manufactured by Plano in response to the need for a product that did not rust. Early plastic fishing tackle boxes were similar to tool boxes but soon evolved into the hip roof <a href="/wiki/Cantilever" title="Cantilever">cantilever</a> tackle boxes with numerous small trays for small tackle. These types of tackle boxes are still available today but they have the disadvantage that small tackle gets mixed up. Fishing tackle boxes have also been manufactured so the drawers themselves become small storage boxes, each with their own lids. This prevents small tackle from mixing, and can turn each drawer into a stand-alone container which can be used to carry small tackle to a rod some distance from the main tackle box. </p> <div
