Thats A bute, They are one of the best kg for kg fighting fish I have caught, and they are the one of the best to hunt. I have been to Fiji, Samoa, Thailand , and Tonga and the best i was able to do was 33kg so good on you congrats they are fishing at it's best . |

I was fishing with Ocean Active. The Musandam is an amazing place. Southern Oman is the place to fish at the moment 50kg+ GTs and Amberjack are caught often. Ocean Active do trips out there to. All i can say is that the Race Point 200 is a beast of a rod i highly recomend it. Sami has caught a few 50kg+ gts with this rod in Southern Oman, its a stick baiting rod with loads of back bone. |

Wicked dude, that is a great GT I have seen some of Sami's photo's of Southern Oman and also some from Ed at No Boundaries... It looks like another world, definitely on the bucket list. ------------- http://www.facebook.com/pages/Reel-Appeal-Lures/300309486704362 |

| Sami, knows how a a rod must be made. Since his rods have come out none have broken since i spoke to him 4 months ago, that says enough. |

| Just got back from Southern Oman today fishing was really slow due to really green and dirty water still mananged some gts tho other boat scored a est65kg gt yesterday a BEAST. this was my forth trip there and love the place and the fishing is usally insane and i would recomend it over mussandam. I have fished with both ocean active and no boundries and both are great opperatiors and will all ways get you fish. |
