  • Tackle box

  • Needle nose pliers
  • Scissors
  • First aid kit

Before the meeting:

  1. Build out a tackle box with the needed items for the fishing trip.
  2. Set up the meeting space with the tackle box on a surface that Cub Scouts can gather around.

During the meeting:

  1. Share with Cub Scouts that a tackle box is what someone fishing will use to store all the items needed for a fishing trip.
  2. Hold up each item and ask a Cub Scout to name the item and explain what it is used for.
    • Fishing line- the main thing everything else is attached to.
    • Fishing license- if we are stopped by a game warden, we need to have proof we are allowed to fish.
    • Barbless hooks- these hooks don’t hurt the fish as much and are easier to remove.
    • Bobbers- this allows us to see when a fish has taken a bite, because it will dip under the water as the fish tries to swim away.
    • Sinkers- to put the hook lower into the water.
    • Swivels- to help change out bait and hooks easier.
    • Bait-food for the fish.
    • Needle nose pliers- to help remove hooks, bend hooks and clamp sinkers.
    • Scissors- to cut fishing line,
    • First aid kit- in case you get hurt,
    • De-hooker- to help remove a hook if a fish has swallowed it,
    • Trash bag- to collect any trash or fishing line you find or need to throw away.

Tip: Bring this tackle box on your fishing trip.
