Whether I am wade fishing or fishing from shore, this is the gear I rely on to consistently catch more fish.

One of the biggest things when it comes to fishing from shore is you are likely limited on space.

The idea is to bring as little gear as possible while still having everything you need to get the job done.

I’ve narrowed it down in this video to show you exactly what you need and not what you don’t.

Soft Plastic Lures

Lure selection can easily be overwhelming with so many options it can be tough to know what to bring.

Having just a few lures that fit into a small tackle box or a small backpack is really all you need.

One of the best and easiest options to lean on when wade fishing is paddletail lures.

They cast far and you’re able to cover a ton of water in less time.

When fishing from shore, you ideally want to make long casts to cover more ground.

Our Mulligan Paddletails are built for distance and at 4 inches they match most of the baitfish present in the water.

Moreover, it is a good idea to have both a light color and a dark color with you.

This covers all the bases as far as water conditions and clarity.

Light colors are best in clean water and dark colors work better in murky or dirty water.

If you want to narrow it down to just one color choice, the Slam Shady is an all-purpose option.

Next up, I would recommend having a finesse lure like a shrimp imitation such as our Power Prawn USA Junior.

I bring both a natural color and a pink color option out there with me again to have multiple choices.

For clean water go with the natural option and in dirty water, you will want to use a darker lure choice.

I recommend throwing these shrimp imitations during very calm conditions or if the bite is slow and the fish aren’t responding to paddletails.

The last soft plastic I bring with me is the larger size Power Prawn USA Original.

I would use the larger shrimp lure if I was fishing stronger current in deeper areas.

Hard-Body Baits

Moving onto hard-body lures, I would always have a topwater lure and a subsurface hard bait.

I recommend always having a topwater lure with you and a subsurface hard bait comes into play when those fish aren’t so much interested in topwater or they’re short striking.

The Moonwalker Topwater lure is an excellent option and the Skinny Lipper is a killer for subsurface application.

The Skinny Lipper will dive down to a little over a foot and float back up to the surface.

This lure crushes shallow water game fish in inches of water.

Jigheads & Hooks

For the larger Power Prawn USA Original, a 3/4 to 1-ounce weight is the ideal pairing.

Especially if you’re fishing from a pier or an inlet, this is the ideal combination.

As far as additional jighead options, I would recommend always carrying a 1/8 oz., 1/4 oz., and up to a 3/4 oz. weight.

You don’t need a ton but about 3 of each weight should be plenty.

Next up is our Hoss Helix Hook which is a weedless weighted hook with a centering pin.

In terms of sizes, the 3/0 1/8 oz. option is all-purpose and works well with a variety of soft plastic lures.

You can rig up any of the lures I mentioned on this one hook which is extremely ideal.

Extra Leader Line

You are definitely going to want to have spare leader line with you.

I personally prefer to use Berkley Vanish Fluorocarbon spools because that’s what I always use for leader material and the spools are compact which makes them easy to store in tackle bags.

As far as the strength of line goes, that will depend on the species you’re going after.

I like to have at least one spool of 20lb leader and one spool of 30lb leader.

That will cover all the bases when it comes to targeting redfish, seatrout, snook, or flounder.

Additional Accessories

When it comes to additional accessories, I recommend always having a pair of fish grips with you.

These are small and compact and will come in handy.

This helps get a hold of fish if you’re on shore or wading especially for those toothy critters.

The tackle box I rely on to protect and store my gear is the Plano 3600 Waterproof Stowaway.

And don’t forget to have Dr. Juice Saltwater Slam Scent with you.

This will enhance the scent of both your soft plastic lures and hard-body baits.

Lastly, you definitely will want to have a small pair of scissors or pliers with you.

Keep in mind everything shown in this video is available in our Fish Strong tackle shop!

Furthermore, everything we discussed can easily be used to fish from a kayak or boat.

It is super important to keep things as simple as you can.

That way you don’t have to worry about the lure you’re throwing and you can focus on finding the feeding fish.

This is a common issue I see with a lot of anglers.

They either return to the same spot repeatedly and find themselves getting skunked.

Fish move and you need to be in the right types of spots to trigger the most strikes.

What else do you bring with you on wade or shore fishing trips?
