Read about all the tackle and cool stuff the Fisho team has used and abused!


TESTED: St CROIX “AUSTRALIAN COLLECTION”

ST CROIX is an American rod company based in the mid-west state of Wisconsin.

TESTED: Quantum Tour Edition 100HPT Baitcaster

The Quantum Tour Edition 100HPT baitcasting reel sits at the top of range in the Quantum line-up and features a classic teardrop design with a glossy titanium coating and attractive metallic red highlights.

TESTED: Quantum Catalyst CT20PTI-B

UNTIL recently I’d only ever seen Quantum fishing reels in those telephone book sized American tackle catalogues that mysteriously found their way to my mail box year after year.

TESTED: Fin-Nor Mega Lite 2000

THE 2000 is the smallest in Fin-Nor’s Mega Lite series, which also includes a 3000 and 4000.

TESTED: Quantum CABO PTs 50

The Quantum brand covers baitcasters, troll reels and spin reels, with the saltwater-orientated Cabos being the premium spin reel models.

REVIEWED: OHO Marine Snips

THE Old Harbor Outdoor (OHO) Marine Snips are a pretty interesting piece of gear. It is not a multi-tool, as such, but a versatile tool nonetheless.

REVIEWED: OHO titanium blade

A KNIFE is just "a knife" until you use a bad one next to a good one. A knife's ability to get a good edge and hold it is really what it comes down to.

TESTED: Daiwa Heartland XA

THROUGHOUT spring and summer I extensively used the Daiwa Heartland XA MLFS coupled to a matching 2000 sized reel along with the heavier HFS and matching 3000 sized reel.

TESTED: Daiwa Certate Hyper Custom 4000 & Saltiga SG 80TN

This combined outfit has proven to be a lethal fishing tool that has never failed to impress...
