Stacer 359 Proline SE, 379 SE

Stacer Australia has announced the launch of its latest offering – the Stacer 359 Proline SE and Stacer Proline 379 SE, perfect for inland fishing enthusiasts.

Based off the popular Proline series, the Proline SE has all the benefits of the original whilst incorporating deeper side sheets. This feature makes it more ideal for larger dams and lakes, and is an added safety feature when the little ones are onboard.

Other standard features include two aluminium bench seats (one with a glove box), a transducer bracket and safety rails. Available options include a bimini cover to keep off the worst of the sun, rod holders, carpeted fuel tank rack and paint/vinyl wrap.

Drilling down into the numbers, the 359 Proline SE has a capacity of two people, with 1.6mm aluminium bottoms and a max HP of 15. This is the perfect option for a solo anglers or a couple of mates that want to head into the dam or river. The 379 Proline SE is setup to accommodate three people, with a max horsepower of 25 and also featuring 1.6mm aluminium bottoms. For those with a small family (or an extra mate) this boat is perfect for exploring Australia’s waterways.

“We are thrilled to bring the Stacer 359 and 379 Proline SE models to the market,” said Sam activity.

Wet fly, bait and lure fishers have done well. On hot days at dawn and dusk and breeze cooler days all the way through, with great brown and rainbow trout coming to hand.

Good old Great Lake is probably performing the best as the weather cools a tad. Trollers doing particularly well and the same with spin fishers from the shore.

Anglers fishing the sticks in Arthurs Lake have landed nice fish on both lure and fly and have found trout to be very eager to strike.

The water level in Woods Lake seems static for the moment a good sign at this end of summer. And fishing has reflected this with many fish to nearly

2kg gracing trollers’ bags.

Y05 Tasmanian Devil lure a standout as well as an F5 or F7 Rapala in BTR taking fish in the slightly discoloured water.

The infamous Tyenna River lives up to its name producing some fantastic evening rises, a simple white moth or caddis pattern turning over fish for flyfishers. Spin fishers doing well with small Vibrax and Mapso Sz 2 spinners.

This really is the best summer and early autumn fishing Tasmania has experienced in many years, please don’t delay and potentially miss out, get out there and have a go as you really don’t know what you will turn up on the end of the rod and where!

Hayes, General Manager. “We are confident that this boat will exceed the expectations of our customers and provide them with the ultimate fishing experience.”

The 359 Proline SE and Proline 379 SE join the existing models in the Proline family, including the original Proline, Proline Angler and Territory Striker. All Stacer’s boats are handmade in the Gold Coast by a team of dedicated local tradesmen.
