Coarse Terminal Tackle

Coarse terminal tackle covers the small parts at the business end of a float, feeder or pole rig: hooks, hooklengths, swivels, links, feeders, weights, stops, beads and the tools used to put a rig together. Every listing shows the lowest in-stock price we have found and the reputable online tackle shops that stock it.

Hooks and hooklengths carry the bait, while swivels, links and quick-change beads connect the sections of the rig. Feeders and weights get the bait out to the swim, and stops, bands and beads hold everything in place.

Baiting needles, drills and scissors sit in the tools section. Use the sub-categories to narrow the list to one part of the rig.

What Coarse Terminal Tackle Includes

Hooks come barbed or barbless in eyed and spade-end patterns, loose or ready tied to nylon. Swivels, snap links and quick-change beads join hooklengths, feeders and floats to the main line.

Feeders include cage, open-ended, method and maggot designs. Weights run from split shot and plummets to bombs and in-line moulds.

Choosing Parts for Float, Feeder and Pole Rigs

Float and pole rigs use fine hooks, light hooklengths, small shot and float silicone. Feeder rigs need a feeder matched to the bait and the distance, a swivel or link that runs freely and a hooklength strong enough for the species.

Hook size, breaking strain and pack size are the details to check, because the same named product is often sold in several sizes. For the rods that cast these rigs, see the best feeder rods guide.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is terminal tackle in coarse fishing?

It is everything tied on below the main line: hooks, hooklengths, swivels, links, feeders, weights, stops and beads. The tools used to make up a rig are grouped with it.

Are barbless hooks required for coarse fishing?

Many commercial fisheries insist on barbless or micro-barbed hooks, so check the venue rules before buying. Both patterns are listed here.

Which feeder should I use?

A cage or open-ended feeder suits groundbait, a maggot feeder suits live bait and a method feeder presents a hookbait in a ball of pellets. Weight depends on the casting distance and any tow.

Do sizes and packs vary between shops?

Yes, the same product can be sold in different hook sizes, weights and pack counts. Check the exact option on the retailer page before buying.
