Wreck Fishing Tackle
Tackle needed for wreck fishing on White Water
If you have no wrecking tackle dont worry! White Water charters has all the gear that is needed for a days fishing, but if you want to use your own please check with skipper if the tackle is right for the job.
We only use top of the range Shimano tackle.
When fishing wrecks rods should be of 12/20lb or 20/30 class.
The reels size Shimano TLD 5 or 10 or Abu 7000, Penn 975, Dawia sloshes, that hold braided line 20lb class.
Fishing with french booms long traces to a 4/6/0 hooks.
Lures can be storm shads or eels, jellie worms will do the trick.
Ball weights are great for wreck fishing as they do not spin and seem less likely to become trapped in the plates of some rusting hulk in 200 feet of water. They are available in either 8 oz or 10 oz.
We have a range of Shimano rods and reels on board White Water 3 for our anglers to use, free of charge but let the skipper know in advance.

Shimano Charter Special
Is this the perfect choice all-round reel for the UK based angler? Available in two sizes and featuring the somewhat unique combination of a lever drag, level wind and centrifugal brakes, this is one reel that is equally at home casting baits uptide from an anchored boat as it is working artificial lures such as jelly worms and shads over deepwater wrecks and reefs on the drift. The Shimano Charter Special is the perfect choice for use with either braid or monofilament lines.

Shimano TLD
The new lower priced and highly popular TLD 15 is spot-on for mid-Channel pollack, light line bass and conventional "up and down" fishing. Consultant Dave Lewis has landed 100lb plus Namibian sharks on his! The TLD 20 suits medium weight pirking, blue sharks and deep water where its fast retrieve and wide diameter spool are appreciated. An outstanding reel capable of handling any European fish, the TLD 25 fits the bill for pirking, conger, skate, sharks and overseas sorties.

Shimano TLD-2 Speed
The same drag system on standard TLD reels but heavily engineered for even tougher work. They offer the option of switching between high and low speed retrieve as situations dictate. If you are pumping a 200lb skate through 400ft of water, you'll need low. A high-flying billfish that changes course to rush the boat demands high. If you want just one reel for home and abroad, make it a TLD 2 Speed.

Shimano Torsa
Torsa can be summed up as speed, power, durability and castability. When developing the Torsa Shimano engineers succeeded in designing different types of drag cams, which can be put on the reel to create different drag curves. This system looks set to revolutionise the way we play fish, especially on light, sporting tackle. Eight drag cams are available, all with very different characteristics. The extremely strong frame and spool are created by using diff erent techniques; cold forging and machining of the finest kinds of aluminium, while the High Efficiency Gears are the biggest Shimano have ever designed for fishing tackle. The gears are housed in a low-based gearbox, creating an excellent balance that offers you more control. In size Torsa is a small reel that in reality can cope with really big fish.

Shimano Biofibre
Biofibre is 'state of the art' in terms of rod construction and is 4 times stronger than any other carbon material. It involves the random distribution of 'non woven' biofibres and mid-short fibres that don't cross each other, but 'float' in an elastomeric (synthetic rubber) resin to reinforce the carbon fibres in all directions. This process produces amazing strength ensuring rods constructed using the Biofibre process are incredibly strong and durable. Because of the significant increase in strength, you would naturally assume that weight has been sacrificed to achieve this remarkable level of durability. You'll therefore be even more surprised to learn that Biofibre is 2.4 times lighter than the lightest carbon fibre.
Shimano T-Curve
The unique Shimano Tcurve process combines special graphite cloth with a revolutionary resin formula and manufacturing technique. The three-ply weave undergoes a clinical curing process to produce a unique "Dynamic" blank with massive pressure thresholds. Unlike others, Tcurve resin molecules retain elasticity after the manufacturing process. The outcome is 20-40% more compression resistance than regular carbon, meaning any Shimano rod bearing the Tcurve logo packs significant hidden power reserves, perfect for specimen and commercial carping applications.
Shimano T-Diaflash
TDiaflash is a blend of Tcurve and the much-loved Diaflash construction that creates one of the lightest, most resilient blanks currently on the market.
Shimano Fine Crystal Carbon
Virtually unbreakable under normal use, Forcemaster rods are built using a unique carbon fi bre known as Fine Crystal Carbon. Fine Crystal Carbon has a more compact structure than other carbons resulting in increased resilience.
