As the crisp winter breeze transitions into the gentle warmth of spring, fishing enthusiasts across Australia eagerly prepare for their favourite season. Springtime fishing offers a unique blend of tranquillity and adventure, but to make the most of it, you need the right tools and techniques. Among the many choices available, Leatherman has established itself as an indispensable companion for anglers. In this guide, we'll explore the must-have Leatherman tools and techniques that will elevate your spring fishing experience.
1. Tackle Organisation with Signal®
Before you head out for a day of fishing, it's crucial to have your tackle organised and readily accessible. The Leatherman Signal® is a versatile multi-tool that's perfect for this task. Its combination of pliers, wire cutters, and various screwdrivers can help you adjust, repair, or modify your fishing gear on the spot. Whether you need to tighten a reel handle or cut a fishing line, the Signal® has you covered.
Additionally, the Signal® features a built-in carabiner and a safety whistle, which can be useful in emergency situations or when navigating difficult terrain near water bodies. Its compact size ensures it won't take up much space in your tackle box, making it an ideal choice for anglers.
2. Knot Tying Mastery with Wave+®
Mastering a variety of knots is a fundamental skill for any angler, and the Leatherman Wave+® can assist you in this regard. This multi-tool offers a selection of pliers, scissors, and a range of versatile blades. These tools make it easier to tie knots, trim excess lines, and handle hooks safely.
The Wave+®'s unique advantage lies in its replaceable wire cutters. Over time, fishing lines can cause wear and tear on cutters, rendering them less effective. With the Wave+®, you can easily replace the cutters, ensuring that your tool remains sharp and functional season after season.
