The range of TT Fishing Tools have arrived, including 6” and 7” Split Ring Pliers. Designed to make adding or changing split rings and trebles quick and easy, with their ring splitter tip, these quality pliers feature a stainless-steel construction with durable PTFE coating and spring-loaded design for easy one-handed operation.

Other features include serrated grips, two crimping slots, braid and monofilament line cutter, non-slip moulded grips and high visibility yellow colour. More than just a split ring plier, these are a toolbox for rigging and fishing.

Building on the highly popular Grappler range of tackle in the Shimano range is the new dedicated light jigging reel. These reels are a compact 300 size which fits nicely into the palm of your hand which is important when working a jig and keeping control of your line.

Powered by the Micro Module Gear and X-Ship system, the reel offers super smooth winding. By using the aluminium Hagane Body construction, the Grappler remains rigid under load, giving you the confidence to fish it hard. Outputting up to 7kg of drag, this is impressive for a reel of this size and gives you the ability to turn a fish’s head.

A High Gear ratio of 6.2:1 makes it perfect micro jigs of varying styles, but we have also found this versatile enough to fish the bottom with baits in deeper water also. The Grappler also features a specially designed handle that is fitted with a CI4+ power knob for better leverage and control which gives you the advantage when fighting a fish.

The Steez A baitcaster is elevated to another level with the 2023 release of the new Steez A II. It features Hyper Armed Housing, Hyper Tough Clutch, Hyper Double Support and Hyperdrive Digigear to deliver ultimate body and gear strength and refinement.

An aluminium frame combines with Hyper Armed Housing to create a rigid platform, perfect gear meshing, lightness and strength. Hyperdrive Digigear delivers a new age in Steez gearing, with its advanced design resulting in a more powerful retrieve and reduced winding effort required under heavy loads.

Steez A II is kitted out with a 90mm swept handle and larger profile handle knobs, making it perfectly suited to the rigors of Australian use straight out of the box. It’s ideal for most baitcaster situations, and particularly for anglers heading north to tackle barramundi and other estuary species.

The Tanacom 800 sports a new design, incorporating the motor inside the spool. This gave Daiwa engineers the ability to increase the efficiency of the powerful motor — the same reliable unit that’s been used on Tanacom 1200.

An aluminium body, DOT LCD display, line counter, and power lever feature in the Tanacom 800. It also boasts a 25kg drag, PE6/800m spool capacity, and an aluminium ball knob, making this new model Daiwa’s most efficient deep-water reel ever.

Born of the performance of our renowned THERMO big game bluewater reels, the Sage ENFORCER has been updated and fine-tuned for the power, reliability, and durability needs of the saltwater flats angler. Designed with peak performance in mind, the ENFORCER offers everything the flats angler needs in a reel, whether taming the explosive runs of double-digit Bonefish or putting the brakes on the freight train pull of triple-digit tarpon. Simply put, this is the ultimate saltwater reel for flats and heavy-duty fly-fishing applications.

But battles on the flats are exercises in nuance and chaos, so we’ve beefed up the O-rings and drag plates for added durability, consistency, and reliability. Maximum drag has been increased by 50% over the ENFORCER’s predecessor, the SPECTRUM MAX; you’ll find eight pounds at the arbor in the 7/8 size, 15 pounds in the 9/10 size, and 17 pounds at the arbor in the 11/12 size. For saltwater anglers fishing heavy tippets who don’t want to let fish run continuously—or who care enough about their fingers to avoid palming fast spinning spools—this increased drag allows them to get most out of their reel without sacrificing any metacarpals.

R8 Core is focused on maximum versatility and applies new revolutionary R8 material technology through our forward-thinking lens of what we’re seeing out on the water – where one rod needs to show even greater range. At its core, R8 Core traces a direct lineage to Sage’s multi-application / fast action vision, one shaped by the fishing evolutions happening all around us—from habitats we stalk and waters we frequent, to the flies we fish and the diversity of species we now target. Coming in a range from 3wt to 9wt, with a variety of lengths from 8’6” to 10’0”, there’s sure to be a model to fit the core needs of every freshwater angler.

Tasmanian Devil lures are a unique Australian product designed for trolling, casting or jigging in fresh and saltwater. The lure action is due to the revolutionary winged technology that causes the lure to swim in an irregular manner, darting and diving, simulating the movement of wounded fish. This pulsating action is transmitted to the rod tip that will show as a “nodding action” that is proof that the lure is swimming correctly. If this rod tip action is not present, either a piece of weed, or a fish is on the hook. All four sizes of the Tasmanian Devil swim in this erratic manner and this is the reason our lures are so effective.

Travelling anglers know the value of quality multi-section rods. Flying around the country to fish usually means toting cumbersome rod tubes, which these days often attract an excess baggage fee. It’s also a gamble that when you open your rod tube, its valuable contents will still be in usable condition!

Multi-piece rods offer an obvious solution to this age-old problem, but it’s an unfortunate fact that most multi-piece sticks simply can’t match the action of traditional rods. The new Jabbers range changes all of this, offering singlepiece actions and strength in multi-section rods. Its Jabbers’ unique ferule system that enables these rods to provide truly amazing performance.

The Jabbers Pleasure Seeker Ultralight is a five-piece spin stick constructed from Toray high-modulus carbon cloth and fitted with Fuji reel seat and Alconite K guides. Weighing in at just 109g, the Pleasure Seeker is designed to work with 1000-1500 size threadlines or baby baitcasters. It’s rated for lines of 1-4kg and lures from 0.4-8g. At 6’9” long, the Pleasure Seeker is ideal for light estuary and freshwater work on species such as bream, whiting, bass and trout.

Ideal for lure trollers, jiggers and casters, Power Pro Depth Hunter braid changes colour from blue to yellow, to green to orange, and has a black mark every five feet. This assists in delivering super accurate lure placement, repeatedly getting multiple lures or jigs back in the strike zone without tangles or snag-ups.

Purpose-built for offshore, saltwater fishing, the Stradic SW features some of our top reel technologies found in our top end reels. Drawing upon the Stella SWC, both Infinity Drive and Silent Drive are included which provides improved pinion gear support and less wobble inside the reel translating to more powerful, and smoother, cranking. Improving upon the Stradic FL series, the SW series incorporates all the same water resistance technologies, but also includes X-Shield, an internal structure that helps keep water out and protects the internal gears. Coming in a 5000XG, 6000XG, 8000PG, 10000HG and 14000XG size, the Stradic SW range will be perfect for those looking for a lighter, offshore reel.

Wigston’s Lures have developed the new lead-free Tasmanian Devil lure to satisfy the demands of various countries and waterways around the world that have prohibited lead-based lures. From the naked eye the lure will appear and swim exactly like the original model but at the core is a very sophisticated balance of materials that are more environmentally friendly.
