Net Nets are used to help pull big fish out of the water. If the

water is shallow

enough, a fisherman can

use a net to catch the fish by pulling it out of the

water.

Fishing Pole

Fishing poles are used to catch fish that are further

away in the water. The line goes out and has a hook

attached to the end. The fish get caught on the hook and are then reeled into shore.

Tackle Box

A tackle box is used to hold all of your fishing supplies. For example,

extra hooks, fishing line, and sometimes even knives and pliers for

cutting the fish off the hook. The tackle box is a

very useful tool while fishing.

Bag of BaitThese bags hold the bait that is used to

bring the fish to the fishing pole. Things like worms and bugs that fish like to eat are in

this bag and then placed onto the hook that catches the fish.
