Report on-board Size Matters
We would just like to say a massive thank you to our sponsors Shimano UK for all there hard work helping us get Size Matters fully kitted out for 2019!!
Shimano fishing tackle is top quality and regarded as the best in the world.
If you want to compete at the highest level you need fishing tackle that is reliable and won’t let you down when your anglers are hooked in to a fish of a life time.
Here is a look at what we have on offer for any of our anglers to use free of charge onboard Size Matters.
For drifting the wreck’s with lure’s and targeting Mersey Cod/Ray’s, we will be using the new Vengeance AX Slim 20/30 rod’s.
These rod’s are ultra light in weight and have the action of a light 20lb class.
They will be teamed up with Torium 20s and 30s reel’s in both right hand and left hand retrieve.
These reel’s have a strong drag system, perfect for pulling in rays and cod in a strong tide or for pulling up big Cod, Pollock and Ling from a deep mid channel wreck.
For anchoring the wreck’s targeting monster Conger and Ling.
We will be using the new TLD 50lb class all roller boat rod’s teamed up with TLD 20A twin speed multiplier reel’s.
This set up is perfect when you need to use 1lb to 3lb leads, fishing deep water mid channel wrecks for those big snakes.
For Shark fishing we will be using the new Speed Master Dendou-Maru 1000g boat rod’s.
(If you get chance check these rod’s out they are not designed for shark fishing but you won’t be disappointed it’s a real gem).
Teamed up with Tyrnos 30 single speed multiplier reel’s.
This set up is perfect for fishing baits suspended deep down and at long distance from the boat.
We will also be using two spinning rod’s and reel’s for some fun when the sharks are quite happy to take baits off the surface very close to the boat.
Rod’s will be the Speed Cast Kaibutsu 120g
and Saragossa 10000 fixed spool reel’s.
For the big Skate in bonny Scotland we be using the new Tyrnos 80lb class all roller boat rod’s, teamed up with the Tyrnos 30 twin speed multiplier reel’s.
Last year we where using 50lb class tackle for the skate and some fights where lasting up to 1 hour 45 minutes in the strong tide in over 500ft of water.
This time using heavier tackle should cut fight times down and be much better for both the Skate and Angler.
For the big Six Gill Sharks and an other sea monsters we manage to catch.
We will be using Tyrnos 80lb class all roller boat rod’s and Tiagra 80W multiplier reel’s.
This set up is perfect for when you are hooked up to a fish over 500lb using a harness and holding on for your life!!
We also have the new Ocea Jigger multiplier reel, this is one of the best reel’s I have seen for UK wrecking on the drift using lures.
The only problem is they are only available in left hand retrieve to the UK.
We are currently trying to get them in right hand retrieve from the USA.
The perfect rod for this reel is the new
Speed Master AX Slim 20/30 boat rod, ultra light with bags of power if you really need it.
Please note we do not keep all this tackle onboard Size Matters, if you would like to use any of it free of charge you need to let me know at least 24 hours before your charter.
Any losses of damages to any tackle must be paid for in full before leaving the boat.
From January to December 2019 we will be giving away a Shimano Hoody, T-shirt and Cap worth over £70 to one angler each month.
You don’t have to catch a big fish to win it, all you need to do is impress us.
You can do this by catching a PB,
or by catching something a bit special,
or even just be a novice angler and show us how much you have enjoyed your day fishing with us.
The skippers decision on the winner is final in this free competition.
Roll on 2019 because
SIZE REALLY DOES MATTER!!!
Thanks
