OUR FISHING TACKLE We take pride in our fishing tackle, and are one of the best equipped charter boats around, with most our tackle being Penn, Shimano, Abu Garcia & Daiwa. All our tackle is top range, comprehensive, current, in excellent condition and well maintained, we have received many compliments regarding this. Obviously not all this tackle can be carried on the boat at one time, so it will depend on the booking of the day to what is on the boat. Our specialty is light tackle, which is easy to use, great fun, but strong enough when it counts. Fishing Tackle we have for our Guests: · Light Trolling and Live Bait Tackle - 7 x Abu Garcia 6500 C4 Reels on Elbe 5.6 Ski Pro Rods.
