Put and Take Sverige
Clothes and extras for put and take
The right clothes and a few smart extras make the put-and-take day both more comfortable and more catching. You do not need everything at once, but a couple of things are worth getting early, above all polarised glasses and a good landing net.
Prioritise first
Start with what does most good for the least money. Polarised glasses take the surface glare so you see fish, structure and bait, and they also protect the eyes. A landing net lets you land the fish safely and gently. Add pliers for quick unhooking and something to kill the fish with if you keep it, see how to kill a fish.
Clothes for the weather
Put and take is fished year round, often standing still by cool water, and then you get cold easily. Dress warmer than you think, in layers. A wind- and waterproof rain suit stretches the day when the weather turns. If you want to fish more places, and stay dry when you need to step out a bit, waders are worth looking at. A cap or buff gives sun and wind protection and keeps flies and hooks away from the face.
Build out as you go
Nobody needs to buy everything at once. Get polarised glasses, a landing net and pliers first, and add waders and rainwear as you fish more. The details are under waders and polarised glasses, and the rest of the range under tackle.
FAQ
Do I need waders for put and take?
Not necessary — a lot of fishing is from bank and jetty. But waders give you more places to fish from and keep you dry and warm, especially in spring and autumn.
Are polarised glasses worth it?
Yes. They take the glare off the surface so you see fish, structure and your bait, and they protect the eyes against hooks and sun. One of the most worthwhile extras there is.
What is easiest to prioritise first?
Polarised glasses, a good landing net and pliers. They do most good for the least money. Waders and rainwear you add when you fish more and year round.
