In William Gibson's "Skinner's Room", there is one sentence as follows:

Memory: a man called Fass snagged his tackle, hauled the bicycle up, trailing streamers of kelp. People laughing...

May someone help me with the meaning of 'snagged his tackle' here? Does 'tackle' here mean fishing gear or what? Thanks a lot in advance!

 * Hi Sammy. I would assume your are right about tackle meaning fishing tackle.  Gibson has a tendency to use words in slightly unorthodox ways.  The Interior  (Talk) 03:53, 4 May 2011 (UTC)
