Fantastic Royboy !

Crossing lines, those fish know exactly what they were doing.

Like the spirit of that marlin - never give up.

Those boys talk big hey ? See the last lines of text on the youtube video ?

"....is this the future of Marlin fishing??"

Hi Fedu, yup - shows how great the last few years have been for amazing tackle development but also how anglers are adapting (evolving) in how they use this tackle! It is angling evolution at its finest!

Only a few years ago, nobody would have thought of going for marlin on rods thinner that your little finger or using poppers and stickbaits to target billfish. In fact, in the next month or so we will also add another video of one of our new stickbaits (announcing them at SAFTAD in July) nailing a BIG marlin a few weeks ago!!!!

Cheers - RB

Oh yes..... if you sneak a look inside Andre's Popper bag at Bassas.... you will see a few of our new stickbaits....... Andre has to bring home pictures of them hanging out of BIG FISH mouths!!!! ::S::S::S

Willie - I'm taking 6 weeks off mate! :) 10 days in Moz, then 4 weeks in the Caribbean.... So I guess working all day everyday during summer pays off a little...

6 weeks holiday starts today!

Yeah imagine how easy this will be ....... while the bugger is in the Caribbean?

"Hi Andre, Roy here.... we need to purchase the *************** urgently, what are your thoughts?"

4 weeks of silence - or rather voicemail "Hi this is Andre from Steel Productions" Bla bla bla...

My woolly haired brother - you and Leda must have a JOL!!!

No pressure, BEEG FEESH in the next 2 weeks and then you can go and catch minnows on the Atlantic side..... Tee hee hee

By my estimation Nepps has to have one of the greatest tackle arsenals never to be tested. There is no doubt that this trip is loooong overdue. Will be good to see a few pics with monster fish and some jewelry hanging from their mouths.

Good luck mate - May Neptune be with you.

Yep, I am rather curious to see Andre selection, I know how difficult it was to leave stuff behind and Andre being the master colector should have taken him weeks to decide :)

Ahhhh 'dre, you have a lot of other species to beat up on before you get back to the "Silver King" from those days!!!! (agreed Tarpon don't qualify as minnows tee hee hee).

A few big Bassas Geets, Doggies, Ambers, etc etc etc to get the blood flowing and then you can relax on the Silver Kings on the other side ...... and make Leda happy.

Give it horns Brother!!!!! See you at the airport in the morning! Later - RB ::S::S::S
