Updates

October Update

We have been extremely busy with new stores stocking our products which have provided us with tremendous support. We can not thank everyone enough for their ongoing encouragement. Thank you all.

New Stockists

We have had some delays with our bags, rods and lures due to the supply shortage that is happening around the world. BKK, Fuji, YKK, etc are all backlogged with orders and we want to use the best materials as we can so we just have to wait.

New Rods

We have placed an order for the famous Pelagics rods a few weeks back and waiting for Fuji guides. We have an ETA of around Jan/Feb 2022 for them to arrive. With this order, we have included a Demersal range. This range is going to cater for the guys who target Pink Snapper, Spangled Emperors, Cod’s, Rays, Etc. The specifications are below;

We have a number of orders already in place for these rods so please contact your local tackle store or contact us directly if you would like to reserve a rod. Our last batch sold out extremely quickly as we will have a limited number available for each store. As much as we would like to mass produce these rods, it is not possible at this stage as these rods take time to make.

Decision on Bags

We understand there has been a few more competitors in the market for catch bags and some have used thicker insulation. We will be continuing to use our 10mm closed cell NBR insulation as it keeps the bags portable and does the job fine. Our insulation and design that takes advantage of the materials has outperformed most competitors in the market. We have placed an order a few months ago for more bags and various sizes but have been delays in getting quality raw materials. Most of the bags are completed and we are waiting for the transport of the bags.

General R&D

At the moment, we are working on a few molds for a few more products. This includes lures, LED rod lights to fit thicker rods, a smaller size cliff gaff and high end terminal tackle.

 

Terminal Tackle

The terminal tackle will have very limited sizes as their tested strength is phenomenal. Instead of using a large and bulky swivel or 3 way swivel which creates unnecessary drag, a 16.5mm crane swivel rated to 176lb or 18mm x 16mm 3 way swivel rated to 176lb can be used. We believe this is a huge advantage if you’re spinning for hours on end or reeling in your rig from 200m to 400m out.

Summary

There isn’t much time for us to update everything so often due to trade shows and spending most of our time getting everything else right but hopefully our next shipment of goods will keep everyone happy. We have put in a lot of time and money into designing and testing the new range of goods so we hope you will like what we have done.

 

Again, thank you all for supporting our products. If there are any complaints, suggestions or questions, please feel free to contact us directly or your local tackle store. We actually read and respond to all incoming feedback.
