We have been stocking Steamies Bait at The Tackle Box for just over a year now and in that time we’ve had some great catch reports from customers 🙌🏻

This one comes from the managing director of Steamies himself, Kristian Morris, who recently had a successful session on the famous Wellington Country Park.

“After packing an order for The Tacklebox, there was a few kilo of 18mm TNT shelf life left over from the order which I earmarked for my upcoming weekend session.

I arrived to a half full Wellington Country Park and during a walk around I found a group of decent fish and set up in the closest swim to them.

First bite came a couple of hours after getting the rods out producing a 30lb 6oz ghosty, through the night I had a common of around 20lbs which managed to pick up a branch on the way in wiping out all three rods.

I got up at first light and made fresh rigs and proceeded to get the rods out, about 30 seconds after placing the last rod it was away and shortly after I managed to land The Small Tail mirror at 48lbs 10oz followed by another ghosty later that day going 32lbs 6oz

The first fish fell to a single pop up and the next three bites came over a matching Pop up fished with a few handfuls of 18mm TNT over the top!’

The full TNT range is available now at the Tackle Box - definitely something to consider if you’re looking for something new and a little bit different 👀 ✅

We check EVERY rod that leaves the shop 🎣✅

Whether it’s an in store purchase or online order, every rod that is purchased from us goes through an extensive checklist before it is deemed good enough for the customer 👍🏻👎🏻

We check for things like damaged ceramics, whipping issues, alignment of the guides and damage to cork or duplon handles 🧐

We always welcome customer feedback, meaning if there is a new issue which we haven’t discovered, we will add it to our checklist going forward to improve the service 📋
