Tackle
Tackle used on ‘Blue Makaira’ is of the highest quality and the attention to setup is unstinting.
On the rear deck we have a Pompanette fighting chair that we can equip with a rocket launcher. We use Lee’s outriggers (35ft) which present the lures very effectively.
Blue Makaira and our crew are proud to represent Normark (ES) as a Rapala ProStaff member. As a Rapala Prostaff member our tackle is of the highest quality and the latest generation of that available through the Normark , Rapala, Shimano group.
Our Rod and Reel outfits come from the Shimano Tiagra range . We have six 130lb bent butt outfits, as well as two 50lb and two 30lb straight butt outfits. Perfect matches for the Big Game fishing that Madeira has to offer.
We are always happy to rig the equipment for ‘light line’ records at your request.
Line is always Suffix Key Lime IGFA, with backing being Red Spot, all tackle, rigging and hooks are the best on the market and supplied by Normark (ES) , Normark (PT) , Leadertec, Gamefisher (ES) and Melton International Tackle.
For lures, we have a great selection but always try and use the ones with highest success rate!
Note: If you wish to use your own lures then please feel free to bring them, but please let us give the rigging a quick check before they go in the water.
