What you need for your next saltwater destination trip!

Planning for your next saltwater destination can be overwhelming. We've put together a list of must haves! 

A good pair of sunglasses is a must! Bajio has tons of different lens colors for multiple applications. Spotting fish will be 10x easier with a good pair of polarized glasses. 

A lot of saltwater trips don't include the gear. Getting a good saltwater reel doesn't have to break the bank, but it's important you have your own gear. 

Making a quick shot is key. You don't want to miss fish because you catch make the shot in time. A fast action fly rod will be a game changer for you. 

Sun hoodies will save you. You're out fishing for 8 hours, forgetting to put your sunscreen on... next thing you know you're fried. A good sun hoody will keep you cool, and protect you from spending the rest of your vacation looking like a lobster. 

Breathable and stretchy fabric that moves with you. Whether it's pants or shorts. 

A fully submersible pack... although not totally necessary, it's pretty nice to not worry about your gear getting wet when you're trekking through the flats. 

A deck friendly boot. Saltwater specific boots have different soles to keep from scuffing the deck, and will keep your toes protected from coral. A must have.

A carry on friendly rod and reel case. You spend all the money on travel, just to get to your destination and find out your luggage didn't make it. CARRY ON YOUR RODS AND REELS. This Tailwind Rod and Reel vault will hold all your rods, reels and more and fit in the overhead compartment. 

Keep your fingers from getting burnt or cut on line... these saltwater fish fight hard, and run harder. Manage your line with out scuffing up your fingers with the Kiff finger guards. 

A good saltwater line meant for warmer temps.
