Prices for 2009 Calander year.
We are proud to announce that due to a very good 2008 season we will not be having a price increase for 2009. This is our way to say thank you to all our loyal holiday makers who have supported us so well during the past year.

Assassin!!!
Just as a "Checkers" has become synonomous to a plastic bag, so Assassin has become to three piece surf rods.
The Assassin Blade has brought with it two revolutionary concepts. The first being the use of High Modulous Graphite(HMG) in surf rods, and the second being a truly multiple application single tip. The Blade has gone a step ahead of the Heavy Assassin by bringing almost zero flex to the base of the rod and much stiffer mid section, thus creating a direct transfer of energy up to the tip of the rod rather than having the bottom of the rod acting like a shock absorber and absorbing most of the energy that should be directed into the cast or the pulling of the fish.
This is achieved by using an oval base section engineered in such a fashion as to eliminate any bend. When one combines this with high modulous graphite the result is truly astounding. The blade is also available in standard graphite, perhaps not quite as light and certainly not as stiff as the HMG version, but certainly a lot stiffer than any other conventional rod in the base.
The amazing part is the tip, which although it is fairly soft (great when fishing smaller fish or fish that shake), once it is compressed in the cast there is no other give in the rod. This enables you to throw anything from 5oz to 9oz. The true revelation of HMG manifests itself in the Medium and Lite Assassin patterns. This material has revolutionised these rods by suddenly bringing to the fore a lighter and stiffer rod, thereby dramatically increasing casting distances and pulling power. There is no doubt that these rods will fast become top sellers.

Barry Wareham from Basil Manning, the owner of Assassin Blade, has a true winner here.

The Ultimate Experience
Die hele idee van die toer was om die tandemanne van Tugela te gaan tem, maar nou wonder ek wie het nou eintlik vir wie getem. Van die tien haaie wat ons opgetel het kon ons slegs een Zambezi van 70 Kg land, nie eintlik 'n goeie resultaat vir 'n man se ego nie, maar die inspirasie om terug te gaan is gekweek. Die eerste dag na die afpakkery het ons gou-gou die toerusting reggekry en die manne het die stokke begin gooi op die oop stuk gras voor die huis, hulle wou maar net seker maak dat hulle nog kan. Ek en Martin het die manne gehelp wat 'n bietjie verroes is of wat glad nie 'n idee gehad het wat aangaan nie.

Kort voor lank het die manne verklaar dat hulle gereed is vir die groot waters, en ons was oppad see toe. Die eerste middag is kort voor lank afgeskryf as 'n goeie kuierdag, maar ons moes eers gaan soek het vir harders vir die volgende dag se kompetisie saam met Mpumalanga se rots en strand hengelaars. Ons grootste bekommernis was die voortslepende suide wind wat net nie sy greep op die visse wou laat vaar nie. Die kompetisie was 'n lang dag op die strand en slegs Martin kon kon 'n klein kabeljoutjie vang maar was ongelukkig net 120 gr.te lig om die kompetisie te wen.

Daardie aand toe draai die wind en so ook ons geluk, en die volgende oggend was ons dou voor dag op die strand gewees en die visse het op 'n reelmaat uitgekom, so ook ons eerste haailopie. Die oggend het vinnig tot 'n einde geloop want die eerste naghengel esskursie sou daardie nag begin en die manne moes gaan voorberei vir hierdie onbekende ervaring. Ons 4x4 trollie is gepak en die Gillie's is ingespan en daar gaan ons, daar waar dit ver is, maar daar is vis. Verskeie dagga's het uitgekom sowel as ons eerste Shad, wat natuurlik onmiddelik terug geplaas is met twee no. 9/0 hoeke in sy rug. Elke stok is gelaai met 'n night light as 'n polisieman, om net die stokke beter te kan sien aangesien dit donkermaan was.

Ons Gillie's was van hoogstaande gehalte met dienslewering wat ek nog nie in my lewe ervaar het nie, hulle was al te gretig om die stokke op te aas en die visse van die lyne af te haal. Hulle verantwoordelikheid was om die visse in die lewendige aasbak lewendig te hou, en sodoende het ons nooit 'n tekort aan lewendige aas gehad nie. Sandhaaie, sloephaaie,Shads en kabeljoue het deel uitgemaak was ons lewendigeaas spyskaart. Ons het verwag dat die haaie groot gaan wees, maar ons het nooit besef hoe vernietigend hulle op toerusting kan wees nie, 120 lbs. staalstoppe is uitmekaar bebyt en lyne is gereeld gebreek. Selfs 10/0 hoeke is reguit gebuig.

Uit pure desperaatheid het ek vir die ervare Springbokhengelaar,Jimmy Hills, geskakel en om raad gevra, wat hy wel vir ons gegee het. Ons het nie veel verkeerd gedoen nie, maar hy het voorgestel dat ons die stroppe vir die cuda stroppe korter maak en die hoeke anders hak, en dit het gewerk. Die volgende dag was daar geen slaap vir party mense nie want hy het net haaiestoppe gebou, en kon nie wag om hulle te gaan beproef nie, spoedig was die nag weer daar gewees en die eerste sandhaaitjie is terug diepwaters toe. 'n Goeie halfuur later het Martin se stok gesak en dit was totale pakniek op die strand toe sy tweede stok aan die loop gaan. Die geveg was kort en intens, met almal wat raad gee en na 'n halfuur is die haai geland. 'n Nuwe haaikoning is gebore.

Die laaste nag het die kersie op die koek geplaas toe Johan Donnald 'n Dagga van amper 6 kg. vang en Oupa word die trotse eienaar van 'n 5.5 kg Lobotes. Hierdie was definitief 'n onvergeetlike ervaring gewees, en twee van die toerlede het alreeds hulle plek bespreek vir die Julie toer.
