  • Fly reels - a specialized type of fishing reel designed to hold fly line and supply drag if required to land heavy or fast fish.
  • Fly line - a specialized weighted fishing line that is designed to allow easy casting with a fly rod and interact with the water by either floating or sinking
  • Terminal tackle used to connect the fly line to the artificial fly
  • Accessories - tools, net, waders and apparel used by the fly angler for maintenance and preparation of tackle, dealing with the fish being caught, as well as personal comfort and safety while fly fishing. Includes fly boxes used to store and carry artificial flies.
