Fishing Clothing & Accessories

A long session is only a good one if you're comfortable and safe, and that's what this little collection is for. The fishing clothing and accessories here are the practical extras for a kit bag: buoyancy aids for staying safe afloat or on slippery rocks, a rechargeable head torch for the dawn and dusk bites when fish so often feed best, and warm headwear for cold Cornish mornings. None of it is dressed up as technical mountaineering gear. It's sensible kit that makes fishing more pleasant and a lot safer.

The one bit you shouldn't skip

The fishing buoyancy aid matters most. A 50N Plastimo waistcoat lets you move and cast freely while adding a vital margin if you slip or get caught by a wave, and it's worth its weight anywhere near deep, moving or cold water. Fish the rocks and ledges? Please read fishing from rocks and cliffs and our wider coastal safety advice before you go. A few minutes now can save a very bad day.

Everything else in the bag

Beyond safety, there's a rechargeable LED fishing headlamp that keeps your hands free for baiting and unhooking after dark, and a warm fishing hat such as the Zebco faux-fur trapper for frosty starts. For the younger crew there's the Fiiish bass hoody, plus crabbing and shark caps to keep them keen on the water.

Our tip

Dress in layers, and never skimp on the buoyancy aid for the sake of a tan. Once you're kitted out, pair these extras with an outfit from the rest of the fishing gear range and you're set for the season.
