SAMAKI BILLFISH SHIRTS 1

Two of the latest releases in Samaki’s apparel range are the Performance Billfish shirt and Performance Sailfish shirt. On the black Performance Billfish shirt you’ll see the metallic billfish lighting up in attack mode, exiting the water at speed. These shirts are available in adult sizes from S to a 2XL and youth from 8-14, allowing the whole family to get in on the action and out onto the water. On the Sailfish shirt, you’ll see this amazing sportfish in all its glory. The soft silver colour palette, complemented by a metallic sailfish, makes this shirt a standout on the water or at your local. Performance Sailfish shirts are available in adult sizes from S to 3XL. Both shirts are made of super-soft touch breathable fabric, which is perfect on or off the water. This cool material wicks away moisture, and provides UPF 50+ sun protection. The subtle scale under the arm adds a hint of detail to the design. All Samaki shirts are designed by Australian anglers for Australian anglers.

DAIWA 21 TIERRA

2

A seamless blend of technology, ascetics, and value, Daiwa’s 21 TD Tierra rides the wave of innovation while simultaneously wowing anglers when it comes to performance and price. HVF Nanoplus carbon is the foundation of this impressive series, with precision resin control blending with unidirectional graphite fibre to create a blank that has maximum density, while at the same time is super light, sensitive, and unequalled in responsiveness. Daiwa’s X45 and Braiding X technologies further enhance blank design and performance, while Daiwa reel seats provide a rock-solid connection between rod and reel, with their ultra-light construction minimising weight to maximise rod balance and feel. Angler connectivity is further enhanced courtesy of Fuji Fazlite guides with their ultralight and highly sensitive design allowing the angler to experience the full performance and power of the 21 TD Tierra’s blank. www.daiwafishing.com.au

Strike Pro Armour 8 is a high performance 8-carrier braid that features a rounded body construction that helps to reduce wind knots, backlashes and rod tip wrapping.

MUSTAD MEZASHI MINNOWS 5

Mustad Keel Tail Minnow plastics are constructed from Japanese PVC using German plasticisers and American colouring material. The result is a brilliant range of soft plastics that are easy to use and can be rigged in numerous ways. Rigging options include jigheadrigged, weighted and unweighted worm hook rigged, or the Minnows can be used as trailers for jigs and spinnerbaits. The Keel Tail Minnow comes in two sizes, 3” and 3.5”, with eight colours in the range. The Mezashi Z-Tail Minnow is built similarly to the Mezashi Keel Tail Minnow soft bait, but features a kicked tail to give the plastic a faster tail beat. The Z-Tail Minnow is ideally rigged on a jighead and gives a high pitch tail action on both the retrieve and fall. This means that species such as flathead, snapper, bream, trout, barra and more will love the action and smash this plastic. It’s available now in 3.5” and 3” sizes. www.wilsonfishing.com

BANTAM BT SRAPTOR

6

The Bantam BT Sraptor is an innovative floating glidebait that comes with an adjustable tungsten weight system that allows anglers to fine tune the lure’s buoyancy and fall. The Bantam BT Sraptor features an oversized realistic PVC tail section to leave a sonic signature trail in the water and draw big bites from active fish. Measuring 182mm long and weighing 58g, this lure can be used with a steady retrieve for a side-to-side gliding action, or a more aggressive ‘twitch and pause’ technique to get the reaction bite from shutdown predators. The Bantam BT Sraptor’s unique triple connection hinge eliminates torsional mechanical movement to produce consistent action and strength, designed for hard-hitting predators like Murray cod, barramundi, mulloway and XL flathead. The BT Sraptor is currently available in seven natural and high-contrast colours. It comes with a spare PVC tail, PVC weight sleeve and tungsten ‘nail style’ chin weight. Price: SRP: $49.99 www.shimanofish.com.au
