FOX RAGESALMO & STRIKE KING

Since the Fox Rage gear exploded onto the market, we've seen the range expand and the specimen captures just keep coming! All the lure anglers on the GAC team will tell you how effective their Spiky Shads and Slick Shads are for Pike and Perch in Scotland.




Craig will be attending the Autumn Show

The combination of Fox Rage's range with Salmo and Strike-King makes for possibly the most complete line-up you'll see for targeting freshwater predators. The guys will have plenty on show for you to see up close as well as demoing how best to use them in the luretank so you can see the action up close.




If you watch any of the big European Predator fishing competitions you'll be familiar with the Westin Brand. With memorable names and fantastic pedigree Westin lures have become a mainstay of our Lure Wall, Stanley the Stickleback and Mike the Pike have been two of our top lures for Perch and Pike. The Salty Jig is probably the most popular metal lure for Bass and Seatrout in the shop, if you're a saltwater lure angler you NEED to have one in your box. 




Give the Westin team a shout when you're in the store and they'll be able to show you some more of their extensive range, talk you through some of the in-depth videos their proteam has out together and let you try their rods, luggage and accessories for yourself.





Ingvar Westin grew up in the fertile fishing grounds north of Stockholm. There, he plied his trade as a skilled toolmaker, creating intricate carvings and devices for artisans in the nearby cities. Ingvar lived a humble life, so when his children wanted a new toy, he decided to create one himself. Soon, a cottage industry developed, and Ingvar transitioned from a toolmaker to a lure maker with a bustling production line fueled by the prolific pike waters of Sweden.

By the time stories of a 45 lbs pike caught on a Jätte began circulating in 1977, Ingvar Westin’s lure was known throughout Scandinavia as the go-to big predator lure.
