Catching Game Fish such as Couta, Dorado, Tuna and even Sailfish from a Fishing Ski is exhilarating and challenging.
Getting kitted out doesn’t need to break the bank. The secret is to keep it simple!
Bear in mind that all equipment takes a beating as it is continually wet and occasionally gets a proper dunking .The following is a recommended basic start-up list :

1. Fishing Ski & Paddle – Popes or Fatboy by Canoe Sport – both stable, reasonably priced – we are Agents for both.
2. Life jacket – Canoeing type as it is shorter.
3. Boat Rod – 4-8Kg approximately 1.90M length fitted with either a Penn 500 ,Daiwa SL175H, Firewolf 40/50H , Okuma Classic CL450C or 300C or similar. Line;10 - 12 Kg is plenty.
4. Approximately 4 Couta Traces and 4 Halco/Rapala Lures.
5. Teza Trace Wrap Small for Couta Traces, Teza Ski Compact for Halcos, Teza Chestpack Teza Rod and Paddle Leashes. Available at outlets stocking Teza Tackle – see list.
6. Short Gaff and club.
7.Clothing – Do not consider any baggy clothing ! You need to be as streamlined as possible - baggy clothing acts like an underwater sail when “swimming” – especially in the surf. Don't forget sun tan cream and water or energy drink. Contact me - Buckey Symons - on 083 631 2844 or 031 3123884 for any further advice.

Lure Wraps

A universal problem with fishing ski"s is equipment always gets wet. It is very tedious to unpack every lure and trace after every trip.We have used expanded pvc fabric that has two important features:  
1.It is not fibrous so hooks will not get snared .the barbs will in the case of small hooks sometimes get jammed but are easy to extricate.
2.It makes maintenance a pleasure.Just chuck the whole wrap into a bucket of water swish it around and hang out to dry.24 ski compact.
