Recommended gear
Light to medium heavyweight trolling rods with fast action are ideal for Spearfish. Strong braided line with fluorocarbon leaders provides sensitivity and abrasion resistance. Lures like skirted trolling lures, cedar plugs, and soft plastics imitate baitfish effectively. Circle hooks ensure better hook sets, and a fighting belt helps manage these energetic fish during the fight.
