MIGHTY DRUMS!

We were given a great chance recently to visit and sample a new project fishery. It was a great opportunity to put some exciting new products to good use and prove their mettle against some truly awesome saltwater brutes. Armed with the impressive Evergreen Zephyr 'MJ Racing' baitcast rod along with the latest Jackall Nero offerings we had a ball of a time...

We had a chance to tangle with some truly hard fighting Red Drums, or simply Redfish as known in America. These imports are a common sight in stocked ponds and some have found their way into the wild waters as a result...


A sneak at the prototype DUO Realis Jerkbait Deep Runner which has yet to be officially named but will definitely make a killing when it is eventually launched, like it did here...


A bruiser of a Mangrove Jack was the only one for the evening. It took a DUO Realis Vibration G-fix that was lifted off the bottom in sporadic sweeps. The fight was one to savour...


Another Red Drum, and a big one too. These fish go really really hard even on stout gear. This one fell for an IMA Farina Deep jerkbait...


And was joined shortly after by another mate which fell for a Jackall Water Monitor sinking pencil. Awesome action!


At these sizes, the Red Drums run hard and fast. Stopping them from busting us off in cover was a great thrill...


The infamous DUO Realis Vibration scored this one...


Barramundi were present and astounded with some stonking acrobatics when hooked. On the Dobyns Champion Extreme spin rod it took some punishment...


The Jackall Soul Shad is Jackall company President Ty Ono's go-to lure and its no wonder why...



The Poseidon Zephyr 'MJ Racing' rod works overtime with another hefty Red Drum...


The DUO Realis Vibration scores as well in the salt as it does fresh...


We see bigger fish get hooked as the evening wears on. The fights are hand-to-hand combat at its finest, on locked down drags and thumbed spools...


Just for good measure we whip out the prototype DUO Realis Jerkbait and fool this momma...


Vibes worked on or near the bottom naturally draws the attention of structure huggers like this beautiful Hybrid Tiger Grouper. The fight on the Dobyns Champion Extreme rod was intense to say the least...


Lure to credit - the Jackall TN vibe!


Yet another Red Drum. One never tires of these fish and the fight never gets old. This is one awesome fish!


The tungsten-enhanced DUO Realis Vibration G-Fix nails the handsome fish. Note the damage inflicted to the strong single hook. What an evening!
