"The spotty lumo/glow, Wild Blue Tackle floats are doing the damage for Eastern Bay of Plenty surfcaster Jim. Some prime heave, leave, and believe baits dressed and ready for those long waits. What an awesome fish, mate."

Looking at hitting the beach this summer? Check out our range next time you're filling your tackle box in all leading stores across the country.

We at Wild Blue Tackle take pride in our handcrafted, New Zealand-made surfcasting rigs.

There are many to choose from in our range, giving you, the angler, top-quality gear. Our rigs are built strong and are far from a single-use product, utilising Gemini and Breakaway terminal tackle components and high-quality floats, along with lumo attractants.

Why the pulley rig? It's built to give you more distance in your cast—more streamlined once you have "bent it and sent it." Aerodynamics play a big role in achieving distance. Distance isn't always everything, but when you know you need it, this is the rig to help you get your baits OTB (Out The Back).

The original Bionic Finger for fixed-spool reels, the Breakaway Casting Cannon provides a smooth, controlled line release while taking the strain and pain off your casting finger. Designed for power casting, it helps improve casting distance and accuracy while allowing you to put more power into the cast with confidence.
