SHIMANO TACKLE BAGS When Shimano put their storage “thinking cap” on, they came up with a simple yet very functional Tackle Bag that can crossover for use in just about any fishing situation. The bag comes in 2 models (medium and large) and features supple plastic webbing for easy storage of frequently accessed items such as pliers and leader material – this area also double’s up as a great place to put your used “saltwater” items for a quick wash-down without having to remove the item from the bag.

SHIMANO BLUE ROSE ROD RANGE

The Blue Rose range of specialist jigging rods have impressed a lot of anglers with their super light construction and incredible strength.
In addition to existing 3 models, a new model has been introduced for 2009. The Blue Rose Full-Gene S60MD is a threadline jigging rod which has enough power and low-down grunt to handle lines up to PE10. The rod is 1.83 (6’) metres in length and can handle jigs up to 700g. The Full-Gene is built with an extra tough X Composite blank featuring a new Carbon/Glass layering technique that has resulted in a tougher, more responsive & lighter rod.
All models feature high carbon fibre content blanks (100% on the S53SD), Fuji Super Ocean double overbound guides, reinforced Fuji reel seats and Cross-gear fighting fore-grips are light but strong, making hours of continuous jigging in deep water less fatiguing.
When that animal Dogtooth, Giant Trevally, or Kingfish or climbs on your jig, you’ve got some real lifting power in the butt end to get them to the top.
