Saltwater fishing in Ireland is unique: Atlantic coasts, rocky shores and tidal estuaries demand strong, reliable equipment. The right tackle helps you cast farther, fight stronger fish and protect your gear from salt corrosion. Our collection covers everything you need, whether you fish from the beach, boat or pier.
What’s Inside the Sea Collection
Sea Fishing Rods
Long beachcasters, powerful boat rods and versatile spinning rods – all built for saltwater conditions and Irish species like bass, pollock and mackerel.
Sea Fishing Reels
From fixed spool reels for distance casting to robust boat reels for deep water battles, all designed to resist salt and last longer.
Braided Lines & Monofilament
Strong lines with high abrasion resistance, perfect for rocky shores and heavy fish. Choose braid for sensitivity and casting distance, or mono for stretch and forgiveness.

Metal jigs, soft plastics, plugs and spoons – proven to attract Irish sea bass, pollock, mackerel and more. Each lure is tested for saltwater action.
Terminal Tackle & Accessories
Leaders, rigs, hooks, weights, tackle boxes and all the small details that make a big difference when sea fishing.
