Morphology
The meaning 'equipment used for catching fish' is directly and compositionally derived from 'fishing' (catching fish) modifying 'tackle' (equipment). This noun–noun combination follows a straightforward modifier+head pattern and has clear cross-linguistic equivalents, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents should readily understand it.
Etymology
Fishing tackle uses tackle to mean 'tools' or 'gear'. Picture a box with hooks, lines and a rod you carry to catch fish, and that image explains why it means 'equipment for catching fish'.
