Let’s take a closer look at what you need to get started.

Quality Fishing Rods and Reels

The backbone of any fishing expedition is your rod and reel. Opt for a durable, high-quality fishing rod that suits the type of fish you’re targeting. Whether you're angling in fresh or saltwater, you'll find a selection catered to various fishing conditions at Verle's. Consider the rod’s action and length as well as the reel’s gear ratio – each aspect plays a crucial role in enhancing your catch rate. Talk to our knowledgeable staff to find equipment perfect for your needs.

Tackle Box: A Fisherman’s Best Friend

No boat is complete without a well-stocked tackle box. Organize various hooks, sinkers, lures, and lines to easily switch tactics as you navigate changing conditions. Look for tackle boxes with multiple compartments to keep everything neat and accessible while staying rugged enough for outdoor use. Pick up additional necessities like swivels or bobbers from our inventory at Verle's.

Safety Gear: Because Peace of Mind Matters

Safety should always come first when venturing out on the water. Life jackets remain mandatory, but don’t overlook other critical safety essentials like first-aid kits, distress signals, and fire extinguishers. Having quality navigation tools such as a GPS or compass ensures you stay on course no matter where your adventure takes you. We’ve got all these covered in our Shelton dealership.
