Departuring from Port of Manaus/AM.

Equipments

It is known that the lures always hooks first the fisherman and, after then, the fish. However it is interesting disposal of at least two types: the one of floating type and the one of slow-sinking or running floating type. The first are more used due to provide larger emotions, because nothing compares to the explosion of an attack on the water surface. On the other hand, are also the ones that demand larger specialization, because as best worked, more interesting the results will be. Framed in this category, others like: Jumpin Minnow; Zara Excalibur (super spook); Top Dog; Mr. Shark (Butterfly); Dr. Spock (KV); Magnum Jerken Sam (helix) and Big Bug (popper).
The slow-sinking or running floating types are easier to use, therefore only the throw and withdrawal are enough to attract the fish. In that category, among others, there are: Red End 900; Bomber Long TO 16; Crystal Minnow and Juana (Butterfly).
Lures and Jigs like Jumpin Minnow, Top Dog, Long TO 16, Red End 900 and to Crystal Minnow that weren’t developed for our fish, demand the change of hooks and rings.
Nowadays there are great variety of good quality lines. It should be opted for threads of good quality, with resistance  of 20 and 25 pounds. For the leader's confection, a line of 0,62 millimeter gage is enough. 
The rods must be of medium-heavy action, with straight cable from 7 to 9 inches - from 17,8 to 22,9 centimeters respectively - and length of 5,6 up to 6 feet - from 1,68 to 1,80 meter respectively and in the following capacities: 10 to 20 pounds and 12 to 25 pounds. 
The use of casting or spinning reels depends on the choice of each fisherman. Related to the size and line capacity, there are in the market, for instance, the following example models, all of Shimano: wheelbarrows: Cronarch, Calcutta 100 and Cured; reels - Sedona 4000, Symetre 4000 and Spirex 4000.
