NEW 2024

LEAD-FREE With recent advancements, we have been able to utilize lead-free materials that now provide comparable qualities to lead, ensuring the same high-performance you expect from Williamson while remaining eco-friendly. With these alternatives, you can confidently fish knowing that you are making a responsible choice that helps protect the natural habitats we cherish.

NEW 2024

ECO-FRIENDLY PACKAGING As we embrace the winds of change, we are not only revamping our products but also prioritizing sustainability. As avid anglers, we relish the opportunity to find floating debris while trolling offshore, knowing that it often serves as a sanctuary for prized catches like dorado or wahoo. However, our excitement is often tempered by the disheartening reality that much of this debris consists of harmful plastic waste. In light of the pressing global environmental challenges we face, it became imperative for Williamson to embark on a comprehensive evaluation, encompassing not only the lure material but also the packaging material. This natural evolution reflects our unwavering commitment to sustainability and preserving the precious marine ecosystems we love.

Designed for wrestling down massive game fish, the Typhoon trolling rod is built for extreme strength and endurance. The powerful carbon blank’s incredible backbone is supported by the spiral wrap that distributes weight optimally throughout the blank – so you can focus on fighting the fish, not your gear. The durable Sea Guide® Heavy-Duty guides reduce line tangling while the reduced diameter of the Fight Control Foregrip keeps the line from touching your fingers, even under extreme stress.

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.

SODWANA The Sodwana is developed to give the angler an excellent and well-built rod still at a very affordable price. The blank is soft but still very responsive under load. The Slick butt will prevent damage in the rod holder and make the rod stiffer in the lower part. A roller tip is used where the line has the most angle and stress, releasing pressure during an extended fight. Named after a famous spot in South Africa, Sodwana can travel the world over and help you land your dream fish.
