Tackle carries 30lb Class Shimano TLD25s on Excaliber custom built rods
and Penn Powersticks.
These lever drag reels are easy enough to use for the first time angler but capable of handling the hard fighting reef predators and sport fish found all around the island. In addition we can carry casting rods for the popper crunching GTs as well as deep water jig outfits to find those deeper reef dwellers such as dog tooth tuna, coral trout and black trevally.

The Praise

|
"it has been well documented in fishing magazines that these islands not only produce an amazing variety of tropical gamefish, but also that the fish seem to come in exceptionally large sizes" "...it seems the wahoo only come in two sizes - big and bigger !" "Our overnight stay at the pretty Matava Resort was a wonderful experience and here traditional thatched Fijian bures set among the lush hilly rainforest offer magnificent views of the lagoon and fringing reef" BlueWater Magazine - www.bluewatermag.com.au
