Tackle Report 2011This year we continue to utilize the Shimano products with great success. The presentation and quality of their products are very consistent and we thank them for this opportunity to again put them to the test. Blue waterI chose the combination of Beastmaster 701M spin 8 – 10kg rod with a Saragosa 6000F spinning reel with 30lb Power Pro braid. I am again very happy, the rods are user friendly and very efficient and handle Tuna, Queenfish, Mackerel and GT’s with comfort, the reels are sensational, comfortable, good drag systems, plenty of strength, smooth to operate and allow long periods of casting poppers without fatigue. EstuaryBaitcasters Rods: Barra Magnum Raider 591 6 -10kg SpinningRods: Raider Barra Flickstick 601 5 – 8kg together with the new Stradic C14 4000F again I think I have found a very good combo as with the baitcasters these are light, strong and a pleasure to cast. They handle themselves very well in every situation but in particular when casting and retrieving lures. I’m using a mixture of the Stradic and the ever popular Saros 4000F both are great reels. Bait / boat rodsGone back to the Beastmaster 601SSL 5 -8kg this hardy rod allows us to bottom bash and fish the snags with ease, the solid fiberglass tip making it a very user friendly rod. Again I have combined the Saros 4000F with these; they are a great little reel. Fly ReelStill using the Biocraft XT LA 910 still very happy with it. The advanced gearing and braking system together with the high quality one way roller bearing races gives you the security and comfort to know that whatever comes your way you can handle it. Lures commonly usedMetals.30 - 40g (approx.) Raiders, Bumper bars
These are the tried and tested but there are hundreds as long as they have a good action and you place and work them in the strike zone you’re a chance. Poppers: Again there are many the best for us “Smilin Jacks” good hardware and easy to use (you don’t get fatigued casting for long periods). Happy to discuss any of the above with you to help you enjoy to the full your day on the water. |
