Unfortunately you can only purchase them in SA over the net. Hoping that will change very soon when I visit the Austackle HQ next week in QLD and talk to the Boss.But at any time come down to an SABT Bream comp weigh in, or LMLFC event, and have a chat to me I'd be more than happy to show the lures once they are in my tackle box

Here is a sneak peek at the Kouji-Kan 48mm Vibe from Austackle And also a sneak peek at the very popular Shinku sinking stick colour chart for 2013-2014 :woohoo:

The colour charts for some of the new rangeI'm not 100% on when the Mud Hornet is due. But I will post it up once I know and I'll post up more colour charts for the different lures once they are available

I thought I'd post up the 2013-2014 lure range from Austackle Of the lures on the chart, The Sakana XD40F, Sakana-Kan DD, Sugar Glider, Kouji-Kan, Wally and Wally Junior and Destroyer should be available late August.The NEW Banana Boat surface lures are available now

Designed & tested in Queensland.

Got a new addition to my gang last week, Austackle Cruz Pbi 1500 reel :woohoo: Great little reels, 5.2:1 gear ratio, smooth tournament drag with micro adjustment, nice ergonomic machined handle with comfortable grip. Great value too at $129 (RRP) and you get an embroidered reel bag also The full gang, 2 x Cruz 2500 & 2 x Cruz 1500 reelsMatch these reels with an Austackle Featherlight rod and you've got an awesome super light lure casting combo

Only fish of the day! Caught by Lazylure (Snaggedlure)

Went with Scorpion to Cadell yesterday before a storm rolled in.The storm clouds rolling inAs we left Cadell the storm was really rolling in..Sure was an amazing sight .

So is nanofil supposed to be used as leader material or mainline? Doesn't sound too good either way.Sounds like I'll just stick to the braid/ flurocarbon combination then.At least you tried something new.

Howdy Strkehookers,Gave the new Berkley Nanofil a dance yesterday in 4lb casting hard bodies at Bream.http://www.motackle.com.au/index.cfm?pr=product&product_id=8053I was not impressed at all. I found the 4lb to be too light and 'wispy' and difficult to cast with. Although the line its self my be good I think the 4lb of less is too light :dry: First cast, wrapped around the first eye on the rod (from the reel)... Checked the leader knot to make sure there was no tag end sticking out.. cast or two later..around the second eye :pinch: So next I trimmed the leader so the knot was off the reel before casting but also re-tied the leader knot to make sure it was smooth and trimmed the tag end right to the knot Didn't make much difference still got caught on the first or second eye. I think 4lb and under is too light and personally it gets the thumbs down.The 8lb may be a better option to try . Its 0.006" diameter but the slightly heavier line may cast better and leave you with less wind knots and tangles.Cheers

That's them BR, cheers for that :cheer:

Howdy all, anyone know where I can get these from (pictured below)? Rod Sleeves. I saw a few guys with them on the weekend, they were different colours and had metal eyelets at the top.I have found some on the Bass Pro Shop web site in the USA but once you pay $40 for postage ist not worth it.Cheers

Hi all' date='This is a notification we have received from Jarvis Walker regarding Warranty and Spare Parts on all their products. 24 November 2010Notice to Australian tackle retailers: Internet tackle not covered by warranty Jarvis Walker Brands has announced that all future parts requests or warranty claims on Penn, Fin-Nor and Quantum reels must be accompanied by a receipt proving the reel was purchased from an Australian business. The move is a result of an increase in volume of fishing reels entering Australia through online transactions with sellers from other countries. Jarvis Walker Brands Director Trevor Maundrell said “Tackle purchased online from other countries is a major threat to the future of good service from Australian tackle suppliers. Consumers need to be aware that if they purchase products from overseas and something goes wrong, or the goods are factory seconds, reconditioned stock, or otherwise not the quality they were expecting, their only recourse will be to send it back to that international supplier for after sales servicing and warranty claims. Jarvis Walker Brands will no longer accept any parts or warranty claim without a proof of purchase from an Australian business.”“Jarvis Walker Brands will certainly continue to offer excellent back-up service for all our products purchased from Australian businesses, including those reels purchased from Australian tackle stores offering online services,” said Maundrell. Jarvis Walker Brands’ after sales service is managed by its subsidiary Angler’s Central Service Centre (ACSC). ACSC is the biggest dedicated after sales tackle facility in the southern hemisphere, offering a parts and service facility for the growing list of fishing and marine brands developed and/or distributed by Jarvis Walker Brands.Jarvis Walker Brands has also announced they will be undertaking a marketing campaign to encourage consumers to purchase their tackle from local businesses to secure the future of quality after sales service. The campaign is scheduled to launch in January 2011. For more information on Jarvis Walker Brands products and after sales service, visit www.jarviswalker.com.au, call Anglers Central Service Centre on (08) 8244 8790, or email info@anglerscentral.com.auBoone – Fin-Nor – Gary Howard Performance Rods – Jarvis Marine – Jarvis Walker – Jarvis Walker Outdoors – Penn – Quantum – Rovex – Ryobi – Tsunami – Watersnake[/quote']You just can't beat over the counter service. You can go into your local tackle store and 'try before you buy' that way you know what you are getting and can get good back up service should something go wrong How does this though affect online Aussie stores like Mo Tackle & Ocean Online Tackle store

Sorry' date=' what was the question again? :silly:[/quote']Yep that does it for me :woohoo:

Yep we do MM BB - yea not sure on that one. Has a big FREE on it but newsagents are covering that up. Mark

I have posted the question to Steve Morgan' date=' part owner of Fishing Monthly' date=' on another forum just asking to clarify that. It says free so I have asked if the News Agents are within their rights to charge $4.95 CheersLL [/quote'']This was his reply to my post

We send 90% of the Tackle Junkie magazines free into tackle stores.The last 10% we put through the newsagent system, so that there's some left for people to get hold of when the tackle stores run out.Quite within their rights to sell them - we recommend the $4.95 price tag - same as 2010 V/TASFM and NSWFM magazines.It's also free at www.tacklejunkie.com.auCheers,SM

I've used the 5 turn surgeons knot for the last 3 years does every thing i'd expect of a good knot.tied properly it is a strong knot' date=' quick to tie & flows thru the rod guides very easily, If you can get a look at the berkley soft plastic DVD that came out 5 years ago adam royter featuring in it he shows you how to tie some knots including the 5 turn surgeons knot.[/quote']I'm the same as Joe, 5 turns surgeon I have used the double uni & albright but found the 5 T.S the best for me .Try them all and see what you like and what suits your fishing style Protactic wrote:
