The great excitement associated with deep dropping with electric reels is that nobody knows what’s going to jump on those baited circle hooks next. Here in Australia, the most desirable targets are obviously trevalla, hapuka, gemfish, bar cod and gold band snapper, but there’s also coral perch, monstrous nannygai, alfonsino, perhaps the chance of a broadbill swordfish, and a lot of other bottom grubbers that really just get in the way of better fish. Deep water and strong currents often mean getting to these species is difficult, but it’s not impossible. With the BeastMaster 9000 though, it’s so much easier. With a line capacity of 600 metres of PE 10 braid, and a sensible gear ratio of 3.1:1 recovering 88cm of line with each revolution of the spool via Shimano’s exclusive GigaMax motor, it doesn’t take all day to get these delicious fish to the boat. A maximum drag setting of 25 kilos means you can go hard when you need to, and three SA-RB bearings and two roller bearings means it is as smooth as it is powerful. What’s more, in keeping with the technological advances this reel brings, there’s even an electronic drag sound, rather than a mechanical one!
For many years now, Japanese anglers have regarded Shimano’s egi systems as the pinnacle of squid fishing technology. Shimano is pleased to be delivering some of the most significant Egi advancements into the hands of Australian anglers. With a perfect sink rate and realistic action, the revolutionary Sephia Egixile jig is the first key component to this system. This season Shimano has released eight exciting patterns, including the classic 14T and Keimura cloth for use in deeper water and lower light conditions.
All Sephia jigs feature SUS 304 Japanese stainless steel crowns to ensure hooks stay needle sharp and rust free. Keimura cloth is activated by Ultra Violet light. UV light travels further in the water column than sunlight and greatly enhances the appearance of the jig to the keen eyesight of a cruising squid. Shimano’s new Sephia Egi range is available in three sizes — 2.5, 3.0 and 3.5 — to suit the full scope of different angling conditions.

If you’re chasing whiting, bream, snapper, bass, barra or trout, look no further than the Revolution Inshore series for a rod to suit. Designed here by ‘The Australian Rod Builder’ Ian Miller, they are perfect for local conditions and deliver the specialised performance anglers want from an inshore style rod.
The 24-39 ton Toray graphite in the new gen’ Revolution Inshores has really taken the performance characteristics of these rods to another level — in casting, acuity as to precisely what the lure is doing during the retrieve, and then lifting and fighting power once hooked up.
We now have Fuji K series Alconites throughout the range for fewer tangles and wind knots and smoother casting, and whether baitcast or spin, custom designed reel seats are perfectly matched to the rod so it’s not just a case of ‘making do’ with a standard reel seat.
So if your stomping grounds are the estuaries, freshwater or the offshore coastal area, there’s a rod in the Revolution Inshore range that will have you hooked up in no time flat.

Now this is a surface lure like no other. The Shimano Ocea Spouter looks pretty much like your standard cup faced surface popper, but an internal chamber behind the face squirts a rooster tail of spray out behind the lure’s head as the lure is swept through the water. The principle is not unlike the front of a jet engine on a plane, being narrow in the front and then widening internally.
The internal chamber also aerates the water, creating even more whitewater and commotion than a standard cup faced popper. With a low down tow point, it is also a lot easier to wind than a conventional cup-faced popper and therefore gives lots more ‘pop’ for far less effort. With the correct amount of rod movement, it can also be made to jerk and dive, not unlike a stickbait. Heavy-duty in-line single hooks rigged on 150lb breaking strain split rings demonstrate that this lure is all about big fish business. It’s available in two sizes — 120 and 150mm, with casting weights of 47 and 89 grams respectively — and five colours ranging from clear through to multi-shaded.
"bubble"?!
Mixing the water that has entered from the water inlet provided in the cup top and the air inside the body, a new mechanism to allow blown out from the ejection port of the back while generating fine bubbles BUBBLE CHAMBER. In addition to the appeal of the lure alone, it is possible to draw the bubbles sparkling on a trajectory that lure has been swimming, and increase the appeal of the water.
Tips jet engine of an airplane?!
BUBBLE CHAMBER is by incorporating more water, we have to generate more foam. Therefore, the cross-section of the water port, has adopted a slightly broaden design the internal little narrow entrance. This shape is a technique used in the engine mice jet, it has been adopted in order to efficiently inhale more air. By applying this technology, not only the front, we have an efficient many inhalation can such ideas as much as possible the water around the cup.
Stable flight attitude, little sense of stability popping mistake
While fixed center of gravity, it is designed with an emphasis on stable flight balance. In addition, in the buoyancy design submerging the body in the water, always-up position nearby cup of water, and by repeating the mistake without popping, aimed a sense of stability that Rokr until firm bytes fish, which has been chase. In addition, it also supports jerk & dive of amberjack aim. And then dive into the water like a dive system pencil while pulling a lot of foam in the water.
