Solid rods adapted to your technique

Big-game fishing involves many different techniques. So you'll need to choose your coarse fishing rod according to the type of fishing you do, your destination and the size of the fish you're after.

Your fishing technique will weight you to choose rods for grazing, for casting to bring back lures or for trolling. You'll then need to choose the power levels that match your expectations.

Another important aspect is the size of the rod. While this can vary considerably for fishing in mainland France, it is particularly important when you're heading off to distant destinations.

For the sake of practicality or simply to save money, you can opt for models with 3 or 4 sections, or even more. This will allow you to fit the whole reel in your suitcase and avoid paying extra at the airport.

Large reel capacities and powerful brakes

If there are 2 things that characterise a reel for big game fishing, it's its line capacity and the power of its drag. Depending on these factors, you'll be able to choose between different types of fish.

To catch swordfish or swordfish, for example, you'll need quantities of braid that can sometimes exceed a kilometre. These king fish of sport fishing are very demanding and require you to be properly equipped to deal with them.

The drag will also need to have a fairly wide range and above all be powerful. It needs to be able to brake and even stop with authority any fish that swim off too quickly.

Finally, the last essential aspect is the quality of its protection against salt and sea water in general. Often exposed for hours on end to weather conditions that can be nasty, it will need to be able to wait for the rinse at the end of the day without corroding.

Ready-to-fish sets or combos

The various brands have developed equipment that is increasingly easy to handle, thanks in particular to the combination of rod and reel in the same purchase. Big game fishing sets give you the assurance of making the right choice and combining these two products.

You'll find sets designed for trolling. An indication of power will be given. To give you an idea, you can fish with 10-20lb for fairly light fishing. You can go up to figures in excess of 100lb for the most demanding fishing, such as very large tuna.

You can also choose a spinning combo for casting. They'll be more dynamic. This technique is not exclusively practised from a boat and gives you versatility for a wide range of destinations.

Lures for big game fishing

As with freshwater fishing, the world of lures also offers a wide choice for big-game fishing. Depending on the fish and the techniques you choose, you'll find models that may or may not meet your expectations.

Lures for big game fishing are just as popular with anglers for stalking the biggest fish, whether from the shore or from a boat. Economical, they'll give you the best chance of attracting marine predators.

Better known at sea, hard bait are a safe bet thanks to their action but above all their resistance. Fish such as barracuda or even sharks can easily damage lures that are not very strong.

Specific models exist for trolling. They will catch bonito like sea bass, but also much more powerful exotic fish.

Rigging accessories

As with all your tackle, you'll need big game fishing tackle that's ready to cope. Lines, leaders, swivels and sleeves all need to be up to the job.

Solid and corrosion-resistant at the same time, they will have to be effective in an environment that is clearly hostile to their lifespan. As an angler, you'll need to be able to combine the finesse that gives you more bite with the strength you need to get the job done.

Depending on the technique, the materials used will differ, from steel cable for stalking fish such as sharks, to very large diameter shock leaders to withstand the departure of a carangue ignobilis.

            What equipment for big game fishing ?

            This technique is clearly intended for sea fishermen. They will be looking for the most powerful, largest and heaviest fish, hence the term used for big game fishing. The species sought are generally known by their name to most of the population. For example, we could mention the swordfish or even the tuna.

            But to confront these fish from your boat, you should not hesitate to have equipment perfectly suited to these species. Lures are also crucial, our article Top 10: Lures for Big Game Fishing, provides an overview of the market. The choice and especially the price can sometimes be complicated, especially when doing this type of fishing only on a trip 1 to 2 weeks per year.

            The reel like the rod will have a crucial importance, without neglecting the rest of the aspects that may be. braid or the quality of the hooks. This often has a cost, but can be long-term investments. Here is a small guide.

            The rod fishing

            This is necessarily an element that should be particularly resistant. Its power should correspond to two aspects. The first will be the casting range indicating the weights you can use with it. The second will be the power in pounds. rod can support at most, especially a very good indication for choosing your braid.

            It will be essential to match these technical data according to the fish you are looking for, but also the technique you are using. For example, if you fish with small lures a few miles off the coast, you will have little chance of hooking a big one, at least in France. On the other hand, with a chumming technique, you can catch all sizes of tuna, and you will need to prepare yourself with powers that can go up to more than 100 lbs.

            The length will depend exclusively on the fishing technique you have decided to use. As with all fish, we will opt for practices from the shore with long rods and from a boat, with shorter models. This is especially true for lure fishing. For the trolling, the rods will generally be very short, having no need for casting distance but many advantages.

            You will also be able to delve into slightly more technical details. For example, the binding of the rings can be double or triple depending on the rods. This secures them on the blank so as not to end up directly with the fish.

            You will also be able to observe the presence of a gimbal at the heel for easy use of harnesses, or the choice of rings or pulleys for practices at the trolling.

            The reel

            The reel necessarily goes hand in hand with the rod. One without the other, does not work. The first essential point will then be to check that one is compatible with the other in the use you want to make of it.

            There will be two main types of reels for big game fishing. These will be casting reels and spinning reels. You will choose between the two based on the techniques you will use.

            In spinning

            The spinning reel remains the most used today. Easier to handle, they offer many fishermen the opportunity to get started without the constraints of sometimes a slightly long and tedious learning process of using a casting.

            They offer a wide variety of sizes, allowing you to choose from the largest ones in order to own a particularly large spool. This will allow you to have a large reserve of mainline, which is essential for this type of big game fishing. It is indeed one of the first things we look at.

            The second aspect will be the power of the brake. When dealing with fish that weigh several tens of kilograms, it is essential to be able to respond proportionally to the power that you will have in front of me.

            You will mainly use this type of reels for bait fishing and of course for lure fishing with casting retrieval. The casting distance being relatively significant, it will be easier with this reel.

            At casting

            The same requirements as for Spinning will be found. Indeed, your reel will need to have a significant capacity in order to have a reserve. And it will also be necessary for the brake to match the power of the fish you are about to try to catch.

            However, this type of reel will not be suitable for casting at all. You will mainly reserve it for fishing. trolling or for jigging practices. A perfect treatment against corrosion will be one of the main qualities, along with its power that will have to face very combative and heavy species.

            Accessories for big game fishing

            This accessory term, especially for its practices, is somewhat poorly chosen. Because if you choose them randomly, you have every chance of not succeeding in your fishing and having invested significant sums almost in vain.

            For us, two accessories are particularly interesting to choose well. braid will be the first. This link between you and the fish will have to meet high standards. It must be strong and durable, capable of withstanding phenomenal power rushes, and do so repeatedly, without faltering. Today's 12 or 16 strand constructions meet these needs, or very large diameter nylons, if you have sufficient capacity in your reels.

            The second accessory that must be chosen meticulously is the hook. Whether it is for arming your lure, or your fishing lines, nothing should be left to chance. The sharpness must be on point, and its resistance to opening should allow you to have blind confidence during fights. Without this, you will be led to experience break after break, putting your equipment at risk.

            You must not forget everything that is. Landing net, float, assembly lines for your bait, or even your luggage, which must perfectly meet the requirements of sea fishing.

            We are available every day to offer you advice on the choice of your equipment. fishing for the biggest marine predators. Do not hesitate to contact us.
