Fishing Tackle on Board

High-end fishing tackle

Good tackle is one of the keys to a successful trip. For every technique, you will be provided with high-end equipment selected from leading brands and, above all, suited to the target fish.

As the list below shows, over the years I have become a fan of Shimano reels, which make up much of my collection. For me, Stella spinning reels and Tiagra trolling reels set a benchmark for comfort, reliability and longevity.

Trolling and big game fishing in Guadeloupe

  • Shimano Tiagra 80 lb, 50 lb and 30 lb reels, and Accurate Boss Magnum 20 lb reels.
  • Shimano, Alutecnos, Colmic and Penn rods.
  • Two Monel wire-line outfits for deep trolling.

Drifting with live bait and heavy trolling on spinning tackle

Three powerful outfits for taking on almost any fish in our waters:

  • One Smith Tokara 60 rod with a Shimano Stella 20000 reel and 100 lb braid.
  • Two Daiwa Big Game 85 rods with Shimano Stella 20000 reels and 100 lb braid.

We use these rods offshore to target yellowfin tuna and marlin with live bonito fished on a Catalina rig. They also serve for trolling large lures on spinning tackle and fishing giant fireball rigs for sharks along the drop-offs.

Jigging and vertical fishing in Guadeloupe

I have a wide range of jigging and light jigging rods. This lets me select tackle for the techniques, target species, experience and build of the people aboard, including beginners and children. It is also an opportunity to try different rods.

Heavy jigging

  • Six Shimano Stella 8000 SW PG reels for the high-end outfits: my benchmark for intensive fishing.
  • Other reels for getting started: Shimano Twinpower 10000 and Saragosa 6000, 8000 and 10000.
  • Rods: three custom Ambermax rods, Smith AMJ 54 and AMJ 56, Tenryu Big Fiber Jig and Fiber Jig, Waves Addicted, Japanese-market Daiwa models, Hearty Rise, Hart and more.

Light jigging, madai, inchiku and soft plastics

  • Reels: Shimano Stella 6000 SW PG, Daiwa Saltiga 3500, Shimano Twinpower 4000, two Daiwa Catalina 3500, three Daiwa Certate 3000, Daiwa BG, Penn Slammer III and more.
  • Rods: Tenryu, Galahad, Xsoga, Waves, Daiwa, Yakutsu and more.

Casting, poppers and surface fishing

Three medium outfits with Shimano Stella 10000 SW and Saragosa 10000 reels, paired with Tenryu, Smith and Daiwa rods.
