Guide to Fishing Gear & Accessories in Kenya – By Maimun Fishing & Tackles Ltd

Fishing is more than just a hobby – for many in Kenya and East Africa, it is a lifestyle, a livelihood, and a passion. Whether you are an experienced angler chasing Nile perch on Lake Victoria, a carp fisherman targeting trophy fish in private dams, or a beginner learning how to cast a line, the right fishing gear can make all the difference.

At Maimun Fishing & Tackles Ltd (MFT), we specialize in providing anglers with high-quality fishing equipment. From premium hooks, lures, baits, and fly-fishing essentials to heavy-duty tackle built for African waters, we’ve got everything you need.

This guide explores some of our most popular products, their features, and why MFT is the trusted fishing tackle supplier in Kenya and across East Africa.

Fishing Hooks – Strong, Reliable & Built for Trophy Fish

Hooks are the backbone of fishing. Without them, no fish gets landed. At MFT, we stock a wide range of XV2 Carp Hooks, crafted from high-carbon steel for unmatched durability and strength.

XV2 Carp Hooks Series

The XV2 Carp Hooks come in different sizes, making them versatile for all fishing conditions:

  • Size 10, 8, 6 – Perfect for smaller baits and medium-sized carp.

  • Size 4, 2 – Great for bigger rigs and larger fish.

  • Size 1 – A heavy-duty hook designed for monster carp, catfish, and Nile perch.

Why choose XV2 Carp Hooks?

  • Wide gape for better hooking efficiency

  • Barbed design for secure hold

  • Corrosion-resistant coating for long-lasting use

  • Strong enough to handle the biggest freshwater species

These hooks are a must-have for serious anglers in Kenya targeting trophy fish.

Artificial Lures – The Art of Tempting Fish

Artificial lures mimic the natural movement of prey, making them an excellent choice for attracting fish.

YO-ZURI Popper R1411

The YO-ZURI Popper R1411 is a topwater lure designed to create splashes and noise, imitating a struggling baitfish. Perfect for Nile perch, barracuda, and predatory freshwater fish in Kenyan lakes and rivers.

YO-ZURI Pencil Popper R1433

The YO-ZURI Pencil Popper R1433 is a versatile lure for surface fishing. With its walk-the-dog action, it attracts large fish from a distance. Ideal for anglers looking to cover wide areas when casting.

Japanese Minnow Fishing Lures (95mm, 7g)

These hard bait minnows are designed with lifelike 3D eyes and reflective bodies, making them irresistible to bass, tilapia, and perch. Lightweight but effective, they are perfect for both beginners and seasoned anglers.

Mini Fish Bass Lures (Set of 5)

Small but powerful, these lures are effective for catching bass, tilapia, and other medium-sized species. A great addition to your tackle box.

Fly Fishing Essentials – Precision for Freshwater Anglers

Fly fishing is gaining popularity in Kenya, especially in mountain streams and stocked dams. At MFT, we stock premium fly fishing lines and flies.

Nylon Tapered Leader Fly Fishing Line (9FT with Loop)

Available in different sizes (0X, 1X, 2X, 3X, 4X, 5X, 6X, 7X), these leaders ensure smooth energy transfer from the fly line to the fly. Perfect for accurate casting and delicate presentations.

Yorkshire Wet Fly

A classic wet fly pattern that imitates aquatic insects. Effective in rivers and dams across Kenya, especially for trout and tilapia.

Yellow Stone Nymph

An excellent sub-surface fly for targeting fish feeding underwater. Works great in both still waters and running streams.

Yellow Dun

A proven dry fly that floats naturally on the water surface, tempting trout, tilapia, and panfish.

With the right fly patterns, Kenyan anglers can enjoy exciting fly fishing experiences across streams in Mount Kenya, Aberdares, and private stocked dams.

Light-Up & Special Baits – Fishing Made Smarter

Some fishing conditions require a little extra innovation. MFT stocks specialty baits to help anglers succeed.

5PCS Flash Light Bait

A set of illuminated baits designed for night fishing or deep-water fishing. The flashing light attracts fish like catfish, Nile perch, and other species that hunt in low-light environments.

These are especially effective in turbid waters or for anglers fishing late evenings around Lake Victoria, Tana River, and other murky water bodies.
