By checking this List of Equipment, you will be able to learn how to use it, but it will be hard to follow exact instructions. The best way is come to fish El Salto and learn the new techniques with your own and expertise Guide.
Each of the guides have a similar fishing gear with all the items I recommend here, but you will not be able to use all in just one day to find your trophies, you will use each one of the most recommended as these change day by day. The information will be updated at least 4 weeks prior to your arrival.
LAKE EL SALTO is a unique FISHERY SPOT; Rods, Reels, Lines, lures & Quantities, must be chosen carefully, these will help to Catch Your Trophy. As soon as you book your trip, I will start giving you the right directions to achieve great success at Lake El Salto and there are some useful facts you must keep in mind.
The moment you book your trip and confirm the res. I will give you a list of Tackle to bring. Perhaps you will be lucky and it will match the Tackle you have right now or just buy the stuff you do not have and you are in your way to make big plans to fish famous Lake El Salto.
When you have not fished El Salto or with our Guiding Service, you will think this is just a joke or Hono wants to make money out of your pocket.The truth is that is the tackle that will make you catch the trophies of your life.
The difference will be, the time frame you will be here. At least 4 weeks prior to your Arrival, you will get an Up-Date on the Tackle to make sure you bring the right stuff. Luckily you might have 90% of these in your own storage and you will probably need to buy some lures or a rod and reel that looks good to catch the Big Bass. LOL
1.- I suggests Definite, Bait Casting, never use a Braid Line, when you fish at Lake El Salto.
1.1.-The 15 to 20 Lb. Test Mono / Fluorocarbon.
2.- Hono References.- The rod is the key to catch those trophies; a good rod will help you to control the fish, all the way to you, even if it goes to the trees, rock etc. just with the right move in your rod, you will have plenty control.
3.- Reel: We Need, multifunctional & Fast Reel, as a suggestion for Reel, there is lot a type AMERICAN, EUROPEAN & ASSIAN,The Bass from Lake El Salto Trophies, kill a lot’s reel’s at year, no matter if it cost 20.00 to 1000.00 USD.
4.-Hono best: You need to buy, just what you need. Do not buy too much stuff, because there is always something new in the market, next season a New Reel, New Rod, Lures Etc.
The Quantities are chosen for a 3 bass fishing days ( Packages Trip), and the quantities in your order are for 1 person tackle. Tackle List recommended, has been designed and set specially for our Customers.
The items are easy to find by these codes, (Bass Pro Shop), but a professional tackle store any where in USA/MEX/CAN or OVERSEAS, will help you to get all of them, also you can order online, so you need to pick the right store, or better ask the clerk about it and he will set up everything for you.

Like these, you will find a generic of any type of soft or hard bait, that ones I show you here are the most successful in my 17 years guided experiences. Euro-Nordic are really shiners but very poor resistance to the Monster Lake El Salto Bass.

Right now in the market there are a lot of choices to pick a good line. For me as a guide, has to have a few things to qualify, as a candidate to buy, the new technology goes to smaller spool in Baitcasting & Spinning reels, so more people thinks we have to consider in these, I am talking about Lake El Salto, so three types of lures work all the time, therefore I suggest these.
