Trout Accessories

Key accessories for area and stream trout fishing include: split ring pliers and opener tools for rigging delicate area lures without distorting the hooks; snap and split ring assortments in the ultra-light sizes demanded by area fishing; line clippers and knot tools for managing fluorocarbon and monofilament on light gear; and lure cleaning and hook sharpening tools to maintain peak performance throughout a session.

Japanese area fishing has also spawned a category of soft tackle management accessories — lure storage solutions, line winder tools, and portable rigging stations — that make managing a large, color-diverse spoon and crankbait collection practical in the field.
