Tackle Talk

While you’re fishing with us we will take care of you trolling needs. The tackle we provide will see you through all your trolling requirements for pelagic's in the area. We have matching sets of Shimano Trolling rods and reels in 20lb class, 30lb class, 50lb class and 80lb class.

We use a spread while trolling using plugs, trolling jets, dead and live baits. An example of the lures we use are the Halco L190, Halco L160, Halco Trembler, Rapala CD18, CD14, Rapala Magnum, Rapala Saltwater Sliver, Rapala X Rap Mag etc. You basically have to try to match your lures to the bait fish in the area.

We believe in fighting our fish ‘Stand Up’ style that is more demanding on the angler and is more fun! In order to fight safely and comfortably we use Braid Stand Up Harnesses and fighting belts.

GT or Giant Trevally popper fishing is a fast spreading style of fishing that involves throwing large poppers around the coral reef edge to lure out the hard fighting Giant Trevally. Explosive surface breaking attacks on Poppers will ensure an unforgettable adrenalin rush. These fish are tough fighters and can destroy both angler and equipment.

The basic objective when jigging for bottom fish is to drop the jig to the depths and move it about so it appears to swim erratically or “hop” along the bottom, which is the ideal presentation for catching many bottom-feeding fish, such grouper. Essentially, jigging in this manner is referred to as “vertical” jigging, though vertical jigging does not always entail keeping the jig near the bottom. Again jigging in the Andaman Islands is very extreme and fish like dogtooth tuna test angler and tackle to the max. Jigging rods are made to work heavy jigs at great depths and reels to match the jigs and large fish. It is best to bring your own gear, OR write to us for a tackle list.
