los suenos fishing rodA large fish demands a large rod.

Heavy tackle is recommended, therefore, for those in Los Suenos. Deep sea expeditions - specifically those centered around Blue Marlins, Black Marlins or Sailfish - require strong lures and long lines.

A heavy rod offers both.

Heavy rods are noted for their fiberglass compositions and sturdy shapes. This allows them to endure the pull of both the Pacific and Costa Rica's stouter breeds. Their extended lures and fast actions provide easy reel-ins, and their flexible tips help to reduce tension during lengthy battles. They are less likely to break under the weight of Billfish and provide greater balance. This makes them ideal for sport fishing.

It should be noted that these rods are aptly named. They are heavy. Inexperienced anglers may have some difficulty mastering them and should rely on charter crews for help.

los suenos fishing rodThere is no such thing as a perfect fishing rod. Medium tackle options, however, come close.

Those in Los Suenos will find these rods be superiorly balanced and exceptionally crafted. They're easy to use and easier to master, making them ideal for even the most inexperienced anglers.

A medium fishing rod is a worthwhile addition to any tackle pack. It features a lightweight shape, with composite materials that move well in any current. Its fast action allows it to reel in both small and large breeds, and its longer lines ensures greater casting depths. It can be used for Groupers, Red Snappers, Spanish Mackerels and other common Los Suenos fish.

Many charter tours will provide anglers with medium rods. The Los Suenos Marina will also offer rental options for extra convenience.

los suenos costa rica fishingA broken line is a useless line.

This is a truth all anglers are familiar with. Many a sport fishing trip has been ruined by the sudden snap of a line, the loss of a lure. Trying to chase down Striped Marlins and Dorados becomes impossible when monofilaments fail.

Costa Rica Fishing Adventures understands this, which is why we now offer some suggestions to protect those lines during every charter tour.

Change The Monofilament

With time all lines fade, turning coarse and brittle. This will cause them to break. Change every monofilament, therefore, at the first sign of weakening. Casual fishermen tend to do this twice a year, while experienced anglers may swap their lines every few months. It varies by the type of fishing and the general wear.

Cut Away Sections

Should a monofilament seem unsteady - but there is no replacement is available - cut away the rough section and re-tie the leader. This will shorten the line considerably, but it will also ensure that it doesn't break during a fishing trip.

Stay Away From The Sun

Los Suenos is a region defined by sunlight. This is excellent for travelers but troubling for fishing lines. Monofilaments can be damaged by excessive heat. Store them in shaded areas, therefore, between bouts to avoid breakage.

Use these suggestions while fishing in Los Suenos to ensure tight lines and strong hauls.

When fishing in Los Suenos anglers must be aware of the potentially damaging - and costly - effects of salt water. Extended exposure to the Pacific can cause reels to rust. Lines will snap and interior corners will peel. This will render the items unusable.

Protecting reels while in Costa Rica is essential, therefore.

Be certain - after every sport fishing trip or family charter cruise - to soak all reels in fresh water. Fill a bucket at the Los Suenos resort and submerge tackle equipment in it fully for at least two hours. This will wash away the salt and eliminate concerns of rusting. Dry the reels thoroughly afterwards and store them in a clean environment.

Fishing in Los Suenos is undeniably exciting. It can also, however, be undeniably frustrating if reels fail. Soak them to avoid this problem.

los suenos costa rica fishingEvery fishing line needs the perfect fishing knot. Trying to decipher the endless overhands, loops and noose arrangements, however, can prove impossible. There are many options to consider, and all seem to have their supporters.

Costa Rica Fishing Adventures has a suggestion, though, for those traveling to Los Suenos: use the uni knot.

The uni knot is a multi-functional knot. It features a six turn shape, with anglers creating a tight braid from the line to the reel arbor. It’s known for its efficient design, and those sailing along the Los Suenos region will find it perfect for both deep sea and near shore fishing.

Adaptability

The uni knot’s practical design allows it to adapt to all monofilament lines, as well as most snaps and swivels. It is the most common choice for sport fishing in the Central Pacific.

Strength

Due to the uni knot’s unique arrangement - which includes triple passes and multiple overhands - it offers exceptional strength. This makes it ideal for Los Suenos, where powerful fish are found throughout the year.

Ease

The uni knot is famed for its simplicity. Even the most inexperienced anglers can quickly master this option, and it’s a favorite on family vacations and charter cruises alike.

Rely on the uni knot for any fishing excursion. It will offer the necessary support needed to hook Marlins, Mackerels and more.

los suenos costa rica fishingAnglers, take note: fishing in Los Suenos is very much a catch and release affair.

Due to recent sustainability laws within Costa Rica, Los Suenos - as well as the rest of the Central Pacific - relies heavily on catch and release fishing. Endangered breeds, such as Marlins or Sailfish, cannot be kept. They must instead be returned to the water.

This requires barbless hooks.

Barbless hooks, as the name implies, are items without sharp barbed edges. They are instead smooth, which makes removing them far easier. They’re lightweight, efficient and eliminate harmful tears or cuts (both to the fish and the fisherman).

Using them in Los Suenos is strongly recommended. Barbless items are ideal for catch and release situations. They allow anglers to successfully trap, photograph and then unhook every fish - often without having to remove them from the water. This reduces the chance of injury and also promotes swifter casting.

Contact charter captains to verify if they offer barbless hooks. Rely on these tackle items while sport fishing in Los Suenos to promote better sustainability.

It may also, however, require a baitcasting reel - if anglers feel up to the challenge.

A baitcasting reel is a cylindrical option that’s attached directly to a rod. It’s designed to move with the weight of a lure, with its spool unwinding automatically as more line is needed. It’s favored in  deep sea fishing or trolling, and its shape allows anglers to achieve a more accurate casting motion. Many swear by its precision.

Many also, however, swear at its difficulty.

Baiticasting reels are notoriously hard to master. Their heavy weights and fittings can be complicated, and they require superior mounting to be effective. First time anglers will not be able to use this item, and even experienced fishermen find themselves avoiding it.

Using the baitcast option while in Los Suenos could prove essential, though. These reels easily withstand the demands of Marlins, Sailfish and other predators. They keep lines straight, secure and spinning perfectly. Expect high durability and adaptability. This is a worthwhile tackle piece for Costa Rica.

If anglers wish to use this reel, they should consult with charter captains. See if the item is available for sport fishing, family vacations and more.
Subject: The Advantages Of Using Fiberglass Rods While In Los Suenos

los suenos costa rica fishingMany anglers swear by carbon fiber. They claim that no other rods provide the same tension and support, elements that are both essential while fishing in Los Suenos.

There is truth in this.

There is also, however, an alternative - fiberglass.

Fiberglass rods prove to be excellent additions to any Los Suenos sport fishing trip. They offer many advantages, making them worthwhile successors to their carbon fiber kin. Consider:

Durability

Fiberglass rods are less prone to breakage. Their powerful frames do not crack or bend beneath heavy weights, making them ideal for deep sea cruises. They’re more likely to sustain in the wake of Marlins, Gropers and other predatory fish.

Moving Bait Ability

Live bait is often used while fishing in Los Suenos, and fiberglass rods pair best with it. These tools respond well to the constant movement and they trap fish more efficiently on wiggling hooks.

Variety

Sport fishing is not limited to one activity. Instead anglers will find themselves trolling, downrigging and planer boarding as they sail along the Central Pacific. Fiberglass rods are perfect for these excursions, adapting to a variety of techniques.

A fiberglass rod complements every sport fishing tour. Consider using one today.

los suenos costa rica fishingFishing in Los Suenos is an art form and, like any art form, it requires the proper tools and techniques.

Using carbon fiber rods allows anglers to increase their chances of catching those elusive Striped Marlins, Spanish Mackerels and more - because they are ideal for the Central Pacific environment.

Deep Sea Adaptability

Los Suenos is famed for its deep waters. Using carbon fiber rods allows anglers to better adapt to those strong currents, due to their responsive frames and balanced designs. They’re less prone to faltering in heavy tides.

Sensitivity To Small Game

Los Suenos is internationally recognized for its large marine game. Anglers seeking smaller creatures - such as Tuna or Bluefish - won’t find themselves disappointed, however. Carbon fiber rods are perfect for these situations, transferring vibrations and alerting sport fishermen to the presence of invisible fish.

Lightweight Designs

Carbon fiber rods boast lightweight frames, which make them easy to hold and easier to master. Anglers of all ages can use them, and they are exceptionally well suited for children.

Sport fishing in Los Suenos requires many things - such as charter ships, lodgings and tackle discounts. Carbon fiber rods, however, will become just as vital while planning a vacation.
