Equipment and Flies

You can expect a complete selection of top quality tackle and equivalent service on all of the boats.

The standard tackle used, unless your preference would be otherwise, is 20 lb line used with High Speed Shimano Tyrnos 20's. Whether you prefer fly, ultra light, conventional or spin, the crew and equipment will satisfy your every need. The boats, besides sporting high-end tackle, hold bait coolers full of locally caught ballyhoo.

Because of the great numbers of fish you’ll see here, it’s an excellent opportunity to go for a billfish on fly rod. This is now the fastest growing segment of the saltwater scene and all Fins ‘N Feathers boats have the full fly tackle arsenal at the ready. Captains are accomplished in the necessary boat maneuvering, while the crews are eager and experienced in teaser techniques. All boats have had days in which at least 15 billfish have been released with the fly rod! Their skills are equally polished in light tackle and multiple hook-up procedures as well.

While 20lb general tackle is the standard, all boats have a rigged 80lb rig ready to pitch to the occasional "beast". Of course, crews are always happy to rig your own tackle if you’d like to bring it.
