It’s all about fish weight being relatively equal to fishing equipment. So let’s say we are fishing for whiting today we take an eight foot general purpose rod with nicely balanced spinning reel spooled with 2 or 3Kg line, yes that would be medium tackle for whiting however the same outfit would not be considered medium tackle for snapper fishing and an outfit of the 5 to 10kg range would be more appropriate here.
