My new toys....

Anyone who knows what a fish is....will know what a Shimano fishing reel is. As Forest Gump would say "They go together likes pea's and carrot's", and I for one, have had the pleasure of using Shimano fishing reels since I was knee high to a Barramundi

Over the past week, I have had some absolutely amazing news.

I have had the pleasure of being informed that I am now in fact sponsored by Shimano fishing reels and have had a bunch of my reels upgraded as a result of this arrangement. Can I just say.....YEHHHAAAAA!!! I could not be happier right now.
 

I would like to thank the Dunphy family from Shimano Fishing Australia for this tremendous opportunity and wish Mr John Dunphy all the best in his retirement. A true pioneer of the industry.

Live It...Breathe It...

 Congratulations on the sponsorship Luke. Some very cool new toys to play with there.

 
The only thing Daiwa reels are better at Damo is failing ;) Shimano all the way.
