ITX - SPIN REEL
INSPIRED BY PERFORMANCE
ITX Carbon spinning reels are built for ultimate spin performance.
The lightweight and rigid C-40X long strand carbon fibre used in the body, side plates, and rotor provides exceptional strength where it is needed the most. A machined aluminium screw-in handle assures positive engagement and stability. 7HPB +1RB high performance ball bearing system and precision machine cut brass pinion gear keeps the reel feeling both rigid and smooth.
A machined aluminium 2-tone anodised spool is surrounded by Okuma's Cyclonic Flow Rotor system that increases air flow through the ported rotor, minimising moisture retention throughout the reel. Housed in the spool is a slick multi-disc carbon fibre drag system, with hydro-block gasket to prevent water intrusion for consistent drag performance.

Blade lures are a versatile lure option that can be fished across a wide range of depths and environments, that appeal to a wide variety of fish species. In this article I want to take a closer look at blade lure design, a few different blades and their individual characteristics, where to fish blades, and effective retrieve techniques to get the bites.
The ZMan Micro Finesse BaitZ range of plastics has already proven itself on both finesse species, such as bream and trout, as well as many larger species that commonly feed on tiny bait, such as giant herring, tarpon, trevally and...
One very productive manmade structure is bridges, and in this article we cover the gear and techniques that consistently get me the bites for bread-and-butter species, such as bream, flathead, trevally and snapper, while also breaking down the bridge structure and where you should find the fish.
In this article we break down the ChatterBait design, what makes it such an effective fish catcher, how and where to fish it, and take a closer look at a couple of ZMan ChatterBait additions that are perfect for our local species, right down to the Aussie Custom Colour range.
