Fishing tackles are the equipment used by [[fisherman|fishers]] when fishing. Almost any equipment or gear used for fishing can be called a fishing tackle, although the term is most commonly associated with gear used in [[angling]]. Some examples are [[fishing hook|hooks]], [[fishing line|lines]], [[fishing sinker|sinkers]], [[fishing float|floats]], [[fishing rod|rods]], [[fishing reel|reels]], [[fishing bait|baits]], [[fishing lure|lures]], [[spearfishing|spears]], [[fishing net|nets]], [[fishing gaff|gaffs]], [[fishing trap|traps]], [[waders (footwear)|waders]], and tackle boxes. [[Fishing techniques]] refer to the ways the tackles are used when fishing.

Tackles that are attached to the end of a fishing line are collectively called '''terminal tackles'''. These include hooks, sinkers, floats, leader lines, [[fishing swivel|swivels]], split rings, and any wires, snaps, beads, spoons, blades, spinners and clevises used to attach spinner blades to fishing lures. People also tend to use dead or live [[bait fish]] as another form of [[fishing bait|bait]].
