Shimano up to the challenge!

When fishing around the Port Elizabeth Harbour wall for garrick, myself, Chris Schoultz and Paul Cowley all used the same set up. We had Shimano Trevala six foot six medium heavy rods, with Shimano Sustain 4000 reels. The reels were all loaded with 15lb Power Pro braid. This outfit was perfect for the job and we landed a number of decent garrick during the afternoon session.

The quality of the tackle allowed us to fish fairly light for good sized fish. The reliable drag in particular on the Sustain reels meant that we didn’t need to go up a size and fish with a 6000 size reel, which would have added weight and would have been more tiring to use for an afternoon of spinning. The Trevala series of rods are one of the most versatile and reliable rods ever to become available in South African tackle stores.
