Fishing stores
During my stay, we flew with only one carry-on bag, so I had made a small selection of lures and decided to buy hooks on the spot.
There are, of course, specialized fishing stores, but you can also buy your equipment in general stores such as sports stores and gas stations. Fishing is a veritable institution in Norway.
So, I'd also advise you to buy a few lures on the spot, especially jigs and salmon lures. Prices are roughly equivalent to those in France.
A travel rod, of course
Ideal for family holidays and easy travel, a 4-strand rod is just what you need. It slips easily into a suitcase and takes up no space in the trunk of your car.
Given the depth of the spots and the weight of the useful lures, a 20-80 g rod for 2m10 to 2m30 is perfect.
You'll need a size 4000 reel with PE1.2 braid and a 35/100 leader. I've fished the sea with this set, as well as freshwater salmon, and it will also enable you to stalk pike in various bodies of water.
If you can afford a second set, a 5-20 g rod will be useful for stalking perch or trout.
Essential jigs for the sea
Jigs are essential lures for effective shore fishing at sea, given the depth of the spots. Indeed, it's not uncommon to cast in 20 or 30 metres of water from the shore, and these lures allow you to get down quickly and are effective on almost all species. A small selection of models ranging from 40 to 80 g in various colors and shapes will cover all situations and even allow you to do some light fishing with a small boat.
2-3 mackerel submachine guns will also enable you to multiply and diversify your catches and will be an ideal accessory if you want to get your children to catch a few fish.
Softbaits
To complete your box of lures for both sea and freshwater fishing, particularly for pike, you'll need a few soft shad and sand lance lures in sizes ranging from 5 to 6 inches.
Softbaits are capable of adapting to a wide range of situations and depths, and offer far more versatility than hard lures. That's why they're the best choice for travelling light!
A small selection of Texan pike hooks and lead heads from 30 to 50 g are available.
A set of spoons
Finally, a few spinners for trout and, above all, 2-3 20-40 g wobbling spoons for salmon will be useful for prospecting the various rivers that come your way.
Pike bonuses
For pike enthusiasts with a little room in their suitcase, a few jerkminnows or jerkbaits like the buster will come in handy for longer, more specific sessions.
