BRIDGING FISHING PASSION WITH PREMIUM GEAR

These products are tried and proven and will make a significant difference to your trip offshore and we have made it easy for you to improve your fishing success.  They are items that I use personally with my own fishing, and I want to make them available to fishers around New Zealand to enhance enjoyment and success on the water. 

THE BLUFIN SERIES

The Bluefin Series of game lures have been a vision for a while with the huge increase of Bluefin all around New Zealand and it has quickly become a year-round fishery.  In collaboration with Bonze lures, the Bluefin Series are going to cause some chaos on Bluefin numbers all around New Zealand, but particularly throughout the South Island.  Check them out, you definitely want one of these in your spread.
