Kerala fishing tackle shops offer a wide range of traditional and modern fishing equipment suitable for the diverse fishing conditions found in Kerala\“s backwaters, rivers, and coastal areas.
These shops typically stock locally made fishing nets known as \“vala\“ made from natural fibers, bamboo fishing rods called \“kambil\“, and various types of hooks and lines specifically designed for catching local fish species like karimeen, pearl spot, and catfish.
Many shops also carry traditional fishing traps called \“koodu\“ made from bamboo, which are particularly effective in Kerala\“s intricate water networks. The equipment available is well-suited for both professional fishermen and recreational anglers enjoying Kerala\“s famous houseboat fishing experiences.
Modern tackle shops in urban areas like Kochi and Thiruvananthapuram now also import international fishing gear, providing Kerala\“s fishing community with access to global fishing technology while maintaining traditional methods. |
