Fishing Tackle | Bradenton & Anna Maria Island

Premium Fishing Tackle Used on Our Bradenton & Anna Maria Island Fishing Charters

At Kick Azz Fishing Charters, we believe great fishing starts with great gear. That’s why we outfit all of our Bradenton and Anna Maria Island fishing charters with premium, high-performance fishing tackle designed to handle everything from inshore snook and redfish to offshore snapper, grouper, sharks, and big game species in the Gulf of Mexico.

We never cut corners when it comes to equipment. Our rods, reels, line, and terminal tackle are carefully selected to match the specific type of fishing — whether targeting shallow-water species in Tampa Bay or battling powerful offshore fish over deep reefs and wrecks.

From light inshore setups for trout and redfish to heavy-duty offshore rigs built for snapper, grouper, sharks, and tuna, every piece of equipment is chosen to give you the best possible advantage on the water.
