BASS FISHING TACKLE AND EQUIPMENT, NELSPRUIT

Mpumalanga and the Lowveld probably have the largest number of Largemouth Bass waters in the country.
So who better to advise you on bass rods, reels, tackle and techniques than the staff at Solly’s Anglers who regularly fish your local waters.

BASS RODS

A good bass rod will make you a better angler. 

Not only will the right rod help you cast accurately, it will also enhance the feel of the bite, leading to a higher success rate in setting and landing big and small fish.

We stock a large selection of quality rods that suit every taste or budget.

BASS REELS

When choosing a bass reel you generally have two options. Depending on your experience and the type of water you will be fishing, you can either use a spinning reel or a bait caster.

The rule of thumb is that spinning gear works well for pitching to the bank or under docks, where bait casters excel where more distance is desired but accuracy isn’t important, such as crank baits or Carolina rigs.

Visit Solly’s Anglers and let our staff assist you in making the correct choice.

BASS TACKLE

CARP FISHING GEAR & EQUIPMENT, NELSPRUIT

Carp is one of the most popular species for fishing in Mpumalanga due to all the great Carp dams found in the area. Our professional staff will assist you with the best tips and advice for tackle, rigs and baits.

CARP RODS

A wide variety of good quality Carp rods to suit your every angling need are available at Solly’s Anglers. Whether you are an experienced specimen angler or a weekend warrior, you are sure to find the perfect rod at Solly’s.

The sheer weight of a large Carp means you don’t want to compromise too much on a Carp reel, we stock a wide variety of excellent large free spool reels that will suit your pocket.

CARP BAITS

When it comes to Carp bait, we could be talking about a special science. When experts talk about carp dips, feeds and baits, you might feel a little lost at first. Words such as flavours, super feed, boilies, hemp seed, wonder-mix and floaties might lose you altogether.

There is no need for concern, we at Solly’s are regular fishermen on our local waters and can assist you in being well prepared for your next carp fishing trip.

TIGERS, TROUT AND MORE

TIGER FISHING

Tiger fishing has always been very popular, but recently a new tiger hot spot has been discovered not far from Nelspruit. 

Tigers fishing has taken off in Komatipoort and these fish are not to be taken lightly.

Tiger fish are aggressive fighters and therefore require some specialised tackle and fishing tactics.

At Solly’s Anglers, we have everything you need!

TROUT FISHING

Dullstroom and Machadodorp have long been some of South Africa’s top trout fishing destinations. The area offers the ideal climate for trout to flourish, producing beautiful string fighting fish.

When it comes to trout fishing, we stock it all, including:

●  Rods and reels
●  Flies
●  Fly lines, tippets and leaders
●  Tackle boxes and fly fishing jackets
●  Waders and float tubes
●  Scales and nets

OTHER FISHING

The Lowveld’s rivers and dams also offer some other fun species to target such as Kurper, Barbel, Eels and other smaller fish. Most of these don’t require any specialised tackle but some do require different tactics which we at Solly’s can assist you with.

For general fishing tackle Solly’s stock the widest range of terminal tackle:

●  Hooks
●  Sinkers
●  Swivels
