When selecting fishing tackle, be it rods and reels, line, hooks or lures, there are a widely different range of factors that come into play. Selecting the proper fishing tackle is not only a matter of the technical aspects of fishing, but personal preference as well.
Broadly speaking, fishing tackle such as rods and reels are usually classified as either saltwater or freshwater reels.
More often than not, freshwater rods and reels lend themselves to the lighter side of the spectrum, while saltwater tackle are produced with larger, fiercer catches in mind making them heavier and more durable.

In most cases, selecting fishing tackle is determined by environment or "intended catch;" saltwater fishing tackle having a greater capacity than that of freshwater tackle. Aside from that, saltwater and freshwater tackle are very similar. Both saltwater and freshwater fishing have their own versions of fly reels, baitcast or casting reels, and spincast or spinning reels. Additionally, rods are made and designed to complement each style of reel, differing in taper, length, size and location of line guides, and materials used in manufacturing.

After species, location is perhaps the second most important factor.
Artificial bait, much like live bait is also available in several varieties. The choice of artificial lures is also based on the style of fishing. For example, fly fishing has a specific style of lure, the fly. Fresh and Salt water fishing have adopted similar styles of lures, including the jig, wobbler, spinners and spoons. Artificial baits are usually named for physical aspects of the lure, or the action they produce in the water. For example, spoons resemble the spade of the eating utensil, while wobblers tend to wobble in the water. Although selecting the bait depends on a variety of water and environment conditions, certain fish have a proclivity towards a specific style of bait, either in construction, action or
