Gearing up for reef fishing

Wade and Luke Smith, who go by the name of the ‘Bastard Smith Brothers’, set themselves up to hit the reef systems found on the east coast of Australia and learnt the hard way of the importance of quality fishing tackle when taking on the front rowers of the sea.

Hailing from central Queensland, Wade and Luke share their insights and experience using the new Penn Slammer IV against some quality reef fish.

The new Slammer IV series of reels takes tough to the next level.

Improving on the previous Slammer III models, the IV brings models from 2500 all the way through to 10500 sizes, for the ultimate in power and reliability.

Tested in some of the harshest conditions and on some of the strongest fighting fish around, the Slammer IV has been designed to withstand the ultimate test.

If you’re looking to prove just how much Penn Slammer IV reels can take, step into the realm of the pelagic species.

If you’re looking to prove just how much the Slammer IV models can take, step into the realm of the pelagic species, including the true king of the topwater, dogtooth tuna – load up, strap in and hang on!

No matter what jigging technique you use, quarter turn, half turn, rod flutter, slow lift or a turn and burn style, the only thing the new Slammer IV will leave you wanting is more.

Ensure your bait slab presentation is tight and right, drop it onto your favourite mark and make sure to post it on social media… or else it never happened.
