MUS TA D BIG EYE BUCK TAIL JIGS
Mustad’s new Big Eye Buck Tail Jigs start with 2X strong
Mustad Jig Hooks precision moulded into a hydrodynamic
head and feature two line ties for vertical or casting
presentation. This means they can be attached above the
head for jigging
or right at the
nose for cast
and retrieve.
Oversized
3D eyes, hand-
tied premium
dyed deer hair
and CrystalFlash give maximum attraction, which is exactly
what you’re looking for in a jig of any style. Wire bait keeper
secures natural baits or artificial trailers.
There are eight colour patterns available and a dozen jig
head weights for just about anything that swims. The heaviest
model weighs in at 230gm and is fitted with a 9/0 hook,
making it ideal for taking offshore to tackle kings and samsons.NEW PRODUCTS

SHIMANO FJ S T E L L A
It might seem like
only yesterday, but
it’s actually been 26
years since the first
Stella spin reels hit the
market. Since then
we’ve seen massive
improvements
with each technical
makeover they have
received, and that
tradition continues
with the latest release,
the FJ series.
It’s hard to know
where to start, given that so much technology has been
incorporated into this fantastic upgrade, but let’s look
at MicroModule II first. Unique gear teeth surface design
makes the FJ Stellas even smoother and quieter than their
predecessors, and with Improved Hagane Gear driving the
show, they’re now twice as strong and durable as the FI
models they succeeded.
The new Long Stroke AR-C spool increases casting
distance, and the line clip has been improved so that light
leaders aren’t damaged during storage. The Tangle-Proof
Rotor design means errant strands of braid can’t hang up
anywhere either.
SilentDrive reduces handle play and eliminates the
clicking noise and feeling from the worm shaft when winding,
delivering a silky smooth experience.
Saltwater use is not an issue, with EI Surface Treatment
protecting the exterior, while the X Protect labyrinth system
keeps water and dirt at bay in key areas such as the line roller
and roller clutch, making the FJs durable for years to come.
And as you’d expect in a flagship reel like this, all these
advancements are housed in a Hagane Body with 12 SA-
RB bearings and one roller bearing, utilises X-Ship bearing
supported pinion gear, plus a G-Free Body where the centre
of gravity is closer to the rod for increased winding comfort.
With five reels in the lineup, from the 1000 FJ, right
through to the C5000XG FJ, drag power from the Rigid
Support Drag from 3-11kg, and sparkling gear ratios from 5.1
to 6.4:1, discerning anglers will be itching to get their hands on
these beauties.

SAVAGE TACKLE
STAINLESS STEEL
BERLEY POTS
There are very few local companies
manufacturing quality fishing
equipment these days, so it is good
to see Savage Tackle offering a
selection of berley pots, sinkers
and other accessories – products
formerly made by the Dorsal Fin
at Cavan. David Cranefield is the new driving force behind
Savage Tackle, and he has plans to move onward and upward
with an ever expanding range.
Savage Tackle stainless steel berley pots are a prime
example of quality workmanship. Available in either 34cm or
19cm high versions, they come standard with a 2kg lead base
to sink them quickly in the desired area. However, David is
happy to customise weights to suit different requirements,
and has even made a 5kg version for a particular customer.
Rivets are now all stainless steel, whereas they were once
aluminium, which means corrosion simply won’t be an issue.
They come with screw-on PVC lids for easy fill and clean out.
Available directly by calling 0412 022 838 or through the
Savage Tackle Facebook page.wilsonfishing.com.au
