Saragosa 8000, reel is in very good working condition. The reel has seen one season of very hard fishing and has some scratches, but the internals are good as new, meticulously maintained and overall the reel is in good nick. In November last year I spooled the reel with PowerPro Maxcuatro...

I like to give public credit where it's due to service providers as it's so common for people to air their grievances in public, but comparatively rare to hear about the good things. I think it's important to share both, so we support those who deserve support as well as warning about those who...

On my recent trip to Sette Cama I had a 200kg+ zambi eat a large snapper I was fighting right at my feet and for the first time ever I felt genuinely worried that my Stella might come off second best. Fortunately the shark bit me off after running a good 150m and with my reel on full drag the...

Hi All, looking for a tube of Cal's drag grease, anyone know where I can purchase in Cape Town? Thanks

Hi guys, I have a Stella 14000 that needs a service, can anyone please recommend a reliable person in the Cape Town area? My wife is flying down next week and I want to send it with her. Thanks, Eugene

I finally made it to Sette Cama for a week of fishing with Tourette in one of the most unspoiled parts of the world I have ever seen. The trip out from Abuja was a long one, with 4 flights and a 1 hour boat ride over two days to finally make it to the "Sette Cama Aventure" camp, run by a French...

Congrats to the angler. http://internationalfishingnews.blogspot.com.ng/2015/03/guyana-caught-world-record-416-lb.html?m=1

It’s been more than 20 years since the day I walked through a mall on a lazy Sunday afternoon and noticed the book Somewhere Down The Crazy River by Jeremy Wade and Paul Boote lying in the window display of a bookshop. TV sows like River Monsters and Fish Warrior hadn’t yet brought giant...

A few thoughts on feature finding based on my humble experience, as always I welcome any input... When I started out in carp fishing I didn't know there was such a thing as "feature finding"; having grown up fishing the salt, when I took to freshwater angling in my teens, I believed carp were...

Well, I'm suffering cabin fever being stuck in the city, plus I really miss carp fishing, which I haven't done in a while. So to stay sane and maybe even get a little action going in the specimen section, I decided I'd put down some "how-to's" based on my BFC experience. Feel free to contradict...

I was going to post this on the "what happens next?" thread, but decided not to hijack and started a new thread instead. With Enigma's last posts that thread was well on its way to being worth reading. I don't understand the often stated sentiment that Sealine has "gone down the drain". The...

Introducing the Big Mac boilie 😂😂😂

Cool video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KzwxDEx2A3g

I'm no shark angler, but I wouldn't mind getting in some of this action. Awesome photos... http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3642132/Ten-huge-tiger-sharks-five-metres-long-hauled-shore-fisherman-SWIMMING-them.html

A little like catching trout in a hatchery I guess, seeing as you couldn't help but hook a fish in that kind of chaos, except that most trout would probably struggle to snap a 12 weight... https://vimeo.com/169742240 Enjoy ;)

Caught by Matthias Woldt...

Hope the link works. This is a video of Kenzaburo Fukui-san, probably one of the finest anglers on the planet, landing a 65kg GT on PE6 gear. Absolutely amazing skills, huge respect for this angler. As impressive as the catch is the way they handle the fish...

I just placed a small order with JA and I want to commend Linda and Roy for their absolutely awesome service. We've exchanged a bunch of e-mails, most of which was me changing my mind about which lures I wanted and picking their brains about colours, designs etc. and not only were they super...

Visiting Sette Cama from 7 - 16 December, booked and confirmed. Main mission will be to get a decent poon on lure. I've dreamed about landing one all my life, bu this is my first opportunity to actively target them. Any and all advice is welcome, especially from those lucky anglers who've...
