The BKK Predator WG Weedless hook is the anti-algae version of the original Predator WG for extravagant presentations and dropshots. Featuring an SS finish to the hook point for improved piercing performance and a forged shank, it features a fluorocarbon weed guard designed to prevent the hook from snagging whilst allowing it to penetrate easily in a fish when it strikes. The guard is securely connected to the hook shank via a strong binding wire further coated with epoxy resin and will retain its shape and orientation fish after fish.
Pack of 5 hooks.
The new Shimano Stradic FM reel prevails on a reputation for reliability and versatility, the latest addition to Shimano's CoreSolid line of spinning reels. Showcasing reel technologies handed down from Shimano's flagship spinning reels, the redesigned Stradic FM adds InfinityXross technology for unmatched durability and gear synergy by extending the gear tooth horizontally to distribute the load across the tooth of the gear more evenly. This combines Shimano's heritage of cold forged HAGANE gears for increased strength with the refinement of MicroModule II for the ultimate winding experience. The addition of InfinityDrive offers light turning and more starting power under load, while the new Duracross Drag system offers the smooth performance of felt with up to 10x longer life. Shimano's X-Protect water repellent coating and specially designed water channeling labyrinth structure ensure a lifetime of reliable performance by blocking water penetration in key areas without adding a heavy rotation feel. The new Anti-Twist Fin - a supple polymer on the underside of the reel - improves line handling for anglers fishing monofilament or fluorocarbon lines. The brand new Stadic FM, the most complete Stradic in a long line of performances.
The SLX DC 71A is one of the top models in Shimano's hugely popular SLX series. With a reputation for quality and ease of use, this SLX DC model benefits from Shimano's I-DC4 Digital Control casting system, which automatically maximizes casting performance over a wide range of lines, conditions and casting techniques. The SLX DC 71A is compact, smooth and offers unmatched value. The SHIMANO DC system allows for effortless casting and is now available to a large audience worldwide. The SLX DC 71A maintains all the qualities of the original models and improves them with Shimano's I-DC4 digital control. This brilliant technology can be set to one of 4 modes to maximize casting performance while reducing wiggly and other problems. Available in the right sizes, the 150/151 sizes offer great versatility, while the smaller 70/71 size fitted with the MGL Spool III is perfect for casting lighter weight lures. Fitted neatly into the compact body of the SLX DC 71A is Shimano's exclusive I-DC4 digital control. Modes include: Mode 1 designed to achieve maximum distance (least amount of magnetic braking). Mode 2 designed specifically for braid handling. Mode 3 for fluorocarbon or stiffer lines. Mode 4 offers the most control (maximum amount of magnetic braking) for applications such as skipping. Once set up, the onboard micro computer, which is self-powered, does all the work, leaving you to aim and shoot. Like all SLX models, the HAGANE aluminum body creates the perfect frame for precision gearing and the aluminum S3D spool reduces vibration on casting and on retrieve. The SLX DC is hard to beat when looking for a hassle free digital cast control reel. Combining these casting technological advantages at such an attractive price point makes the SLX DC an unbeatable choice for any lure angler.
C3 is the acronym that identifies our new C3 Maxx fluorcarbon, innovative for several reasons. Resistance to UV rays 70% higher than a traditional nylon, therefore great resistance to high temperatures and consequently a longer life. Resistance to chemical agents 50% higher than nylon, therefore particularly suitable for sea fishing (salt air). Zero water absorption, which translated simply means maintaining the original characteristics of the product. A normal nylon can lose up to 6% in mechanical resistance during an average fishing session: the C3 Maxx fluorocarbon remains unchanged, both in terms of grip and physical characteristics. Lower specific weight than other fluorcarbons. Greater softness and an even more natural bait presentation.
Invisible in water.
Exceptional breaking load.
Great knot strength.
Excellent softness.
Abrasion resistance beyond normal.
Space-saving reel format.
Fluorocarbon leader material like Shimano’s new EX Fluoro Ocea Leader provides a number of advantages to discerning anglers dealing with wary fish under difficult fishing conditions. It’s thinner than equivalent breaking strain nylon, highly abrasion resistant, doesn’t absorb water so it sinks faster, is clear in colour and, with its refractive index being pretty close to that of water, is therefore less visible to fish. Ocea Leader structure is quite different too, in that it has a soft fluoro core for knot strength, a hard outer shell for abrasion resistance, and then a fluorine coating over this to provide a smooth surface finish. It comes in 50m dispenser spools with a line retainer in 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, 20, 25, 30, 40, 50, 60, 80 and 100 pound breaking strains — perfect for everything from estuary bream up to live baiting for small black marlin and cubing for yellowfin tuna.
A multi layer flurocarbon that is almost invisible in water. This Japanese made fluro has excellent sinking properties.
