Hi Ben, Thanks for jumping in and helping me, much appreciated (y)

Hi Guys. Hope you can point me in the right direction. I have some Heru Cubera and Skipjack wooden poppers (about 5 or so, 150 g size, most colours black with silver foil) that has been mauled by GTs and does not look so good anymore and will be taking on some water. I am thinking of having them...

Hi Guys Bit of an obscure question, hope you can help me. Fishing top water for GT’s I normally use a standard setup with mono leaders (170 to 200 lbs.) tied with an FG to braid (PE8) mainline, with a swivel / split ring to the lure. There are a couple of fishing areas where the couta (Spanish...

I have travelled extensively with fishing equipment, you can be sure to encounter many different interpretations on what you can take in check in luggage. I have had all kinds of issues, even on the number of reels I am taking (you are selling reels) etc. Friends have had to leave some expensive...

Trini's still available ?

Hi guys, I see the new Shimano TwinPower 2021 SW-C has been released in South Africa. Has anybody had a look at the new reel yet - would be interesting to hear about your impressions please? Also how would you compare the reel to the new Saragosa 2020 or Stella 2019? Interesting that the reel...

Hi Guys I am looking for some of the original Sea Iron casting spoons as in the pic (the 3 oz ones) to buy from you. Please let me know if you have some lying around in your tackle box ? Any leads will will be appreciated !

Recently lost my Jigwrex B554 overhead jigging rod. Please let me know if you got this rod in decent condition to sell me plse ?!

Any Sealiners operating in Moz could you help please ?? I am planning a fishing trip to Morrungulo area just north of Inhambane at the end of April / beginning of May (2015). Some of the guys in the group are worried following reports of issues in Moz after the Zenophobia attacks in South...

Hi guys - the Guinjata competition is coming up in October and I was just wondering if any Southern Cape guys are going?  I have not sorted my stuff out yet, but hope to go.  If the recent Paindane competition was anything to go by (I was there), this will also be an excellent fishing event.  It...

Congratulations to Brett and his team from Stealth for a very well organised and enjoyable event.  If you were not there you definitely missed out!! Also congratulations to Marcus Potgieter for winning the competition.  His 44kg Kingie of a kayak was certainly an awesome catch.  A Marlin and a...

Now if I said a one piece will do then the choice would have been a Shimano Trevala MH / M /ML option.  But I need a two piece to work on my Dorado I; the newer Dorado II does not have this issue.  I have walked the shops, spoken to the locals and done the internet research and cannot find a...

Hi Guys, the Fin-Nor Marquesa looks like a good option for a serious overhead jigging setup that will not break the bank.  With a 41 pound lever drag system it should be able to deal with most things I am likely to run into.  I am curious to hear if anybody has any experience with using the reel...

Hi Guys I am for look for information about Tuna charters ex Houtbay – good boats/skippers and rates.  Your recommendations would be appreciated. We are trying to put together a trip on a reasonable Tuna charter towards the beginning of March.  Got mates here from Ozzie that does not believe...
