Abstract: Terminal fishing tackle, such as lines, leaders bait, lures, nymphs, streamers, zonkers, muddlers and/or flies, made from natural and/or synthetic fibres and coated with one or more uniform nano-thin, pin hole free metal oxide layers. More particularly, the terminal fishing tackle has fibres that are coated with one or more nano-composite reinforcing layers of metal oxides that convey hydrophobic, hydrophilic, super hydrophilic, water sealant, waterproof, photocatalytic, UV-protecting, anti-microbial, and/or anti-fouling properties, wherein said coatings are gained by using atomic layer deposition techniques on said tackle. In a preferred embodiment, said coating is selected from Carbon, Gold, Palladium, TiO2, SiO2 and Al2O3 or combinations thereof.
