Williamson Catalog 2023

Born on the rugged south coast of Africa, Williamson has been manufacturing lures for those who thrive on the challenge of finding and conquering the world’s largest fish. Hard-won knowledge and a sincere passion for offshore angling assure that there’s a Williamson lure to fill every spot in any saltwater spread.

SPEED PRO DEEP

Constructed for pelagic gamefish. The patent pending “Auto-Tune” free-moving line tie design is self-centering, automatically aligning the lure for consistent action at very high trolling speeds, up to 15 knots, with optimum action at 6-10 knots. At 15 knots the minnow’s smooth swimming action allows the lure to be fished on lighter line, even with a light drag setting.

PELAMIS

Pelamis range has been designed for the avid angler on a budget, has all the back-bone and blank action to land your fish quickly. The action is well balanced between enough softness to forgive an error but enough power to turn the head of the fish. Fully equipped with guides that require minimum maintenance and an aluminum

seat and gimbal for strength. The lower line class are a bit longer to allow use of lighter lures whereas 50lbs and up are much more powerful and shorter to finish the fight quickly. From mackerel to bluefin tuna, you will find all the line

to cover

REEF DONKEY

The Reef Donkey are made to withstand the most brutal fights. The action of the rod will allow you to control the fish with high drag settings and still allow some “room” when the fish approaches the boat. It’s a fine balance between power and efficiency. Equipped with 2 roller guides where the line has the maximum stress under load. The anatomic grip is not only very comfortable during a long fight, it has a flat area on the front to help to apply the right pressure when you “thumb” the line. These details make the difference between a “good” and a “great” rod.
