Gear that is attached to the end of a fishing line is called terminal tackle. This includes hooks, leaders, swivels, sinkers, floats, split rings and wire, snaps, artificial lures, spoons, blades, spinners and clevises to attach spinner blades to fishing lures. Sometimes the term fishing rig is used for a completed assembly of tackle ready for fishing.
Tackle World has fishing hooks, bobbers, artificial lures, fishing lines and sinker a classic combination of terminal tackle empowering a fisherman to catch fish.
Fishing hooks are a device for catching fish either by impaling them in the mouth or, more rarely, by snagging the body of the fish. Fishing hooks have been employed for millennia by fishermen to catch fresh and saltwater fish. Early hooks were made from the upper bills of eagles and from bones, shells, horns and thorns of plants. Fish hooks are normally attached to some form of line or lure device which connects the caught fish to the fisherman. There is an enormous variety of fishing hooks. Sizes, designs, shapes, and materials are all variable depending on the intended purpose of the hook.
Fishing line is a cord used or made for fishing. The earliest fishing lines were made from leaves or plant stalk. Later lines were constructed from horse hair or silk thread, with catgut leaders. From the 1850s, modern industrial machinery was employed to fashion fishing lines in quantity. Most of these lines were made from linen or silk, and more rarely cotton.
Modern lines are made from artificial substances, including nylon, polyethylene, dacron and dyneema. The most common type is monofilament made of a single strand. Fishermen often use monofilament because of its buoyant characteristics and its ability to stretch under load. Recently, other alternatives to standard nylon monofilament lines have been introduced made of copolymers or fluorocarbon, or a combination of the two materials. There are also braided fishing lines, cofilament and thermally fused lines, also known as 'superlines' for their small diameter, lack of stretch, and great strength relative to standard nylon monofilament lines.
Sinkers or plummet is a weight used when angling to force the lure or bait to sink more rapidly or to increase the distance that it may be cast. The ordinary plain sinker is traditionally made of lead. It can be practically any shape, and is often shaped round like a pipe-stem, with a swelling in the middle. However, the use of smaller lead based fishing sinkers has now been banned in the UK, Canada and some states in the USA, since lead can cause toxic lead poisoning if ingested. There are loops of brass wire on either end of the sinker to attach the line. Weights can range from a quarter of an ounce for trout fishing up to a couple of pounds or more for sea bass and menhaden.
The swivel sinker is similar to the plain one, except that instead of loops, there are swivels on each end to attach the line. This is a decided improvement, as it prevents the line from twisting and tangling. In trolling, swivel sinkers are indispensable. The slide sinker, for bottom fishing, is a leaden tube which allows the line to slip through it, when the fish bites. This is an excellent arrangement, as the fisherman can feel the smallest bite, whereas in the other case the fish must first move the sinker before the fisherman feels him.
Fishing tackle is the equipment used by fishermen when fishing. Almost any equipment or gear used for fishing can be called fishing tackle unlike termial tackle the term fishing tackle also includes fishing rods and reels, spears, nets, gaffs, traps, waders and tackle boxes. However the term fishing gear is more usually used in the context of commercial fishing, whereas tackle is more often used in the context of recreational fishing.

Clearance Tackle Verses New Tackle
Terminal tackle at the end of the day is still fishing tackle. This is why clearance tackle is no different to full price tackle, expect for the price that is. Clearance terminal tackle is only branded as clearance tackle, because room must be made for the new seasonal stock. Just because the clearance tackle has been around awhile doesn't make it obsolete. If you're smart you will see that the new stock will be no different from clearance stock in a few months, but the purpose of the tackle is still the same to catch fish and the only difference is, you have much more money left in your wallet at the end of the day.
If you shop around you will find that many stores have their own clearance section, and you are likely to find something that will tempt you. On many occasions I have gone to tackle shops in my area and have picked up entire sets of tackle that would have cost me in excess of $500, for as little at $150. This as you can see is a massive saving and gives me an opportunity to tell you again that clearance fishing is not old or outdated tackle. It used to be new and was seen as the best at one time, and is still as good as it way at that time? It still catches fish, it still does what it is meant to do, it just cost a lot less now.
