Whether you’re targeting massive catfish on the Essequibo or casting deep in jungle backwaters for Peacock Bass, these suggestions will help ensure you’re prepared for the challenge. Our team will walk you through what works best in the Amazon — from rods and reels to lines and lures — so you arrive fully equipped and ready for the adventure of a lifetime.
Packing & Gear Guidelines for Your Jungle Expedition
This list provides recommendations for fishing tackle, rods, reels, terminal gear, clothing, and accessories to help you prepare for your jungle expedition. Please note that flights into the interior have a strict 40 lb baggage limit, and all gear is weighed at the terminal. If your luggage exceeds the limit, you may need to remove items before boarding, and it’s unlikely you’ll be able to retrieve them later. Travel in Guyana can be unpredictable, so it’s best to pack light, keep valuables to a minimum, and prepare for the unexpected.
The gear listed below is suggested only — feel free to bring what you prefer, but try to stay within similar guidelines for size and practicality. Each client will share a boat with another angler and a local Amerindian guide, so please limit rod lengths to 8 feet and pack terminal tackle in a small, organized bag to keep space clear and comfortable during your fishing days.
