Pro-Team Captain Rob Fort

ROB''s first SLAM encounter

"I am actively involved in kayak fishing and soft bait tuition. Being an artist and spear fisherman, too, I have a huge love for the ocean and will only use products that will not harm the environment, so only biodegradable will do (not plastic).

Rob ForT didn''t catch
this with GULP Soft baitBecause of a continued success and trust in another product type I found myself very reluctant to alter this in any way. That was until I was recently introduced to the new Stimulate Slam range of soft baits.

On the first day I tested the Slam soft baits, I was guiding a kayak fishing charter with three anglers, all using the Gulp soft baits.
During that day of fishing, I found myself getting a flow of nice fish while the others did not have the same immediate success that I did:

At a stage, we found the fishing quiet so I had a paddle around trying to locate some fish but with no luck.
As the tide turned we returned to the original spot where we had previously had good success at. I cast out my Slam soft bait along with the others and immediately, I hooked up on a nice fish of ten pounds.

What followed was an amazing two hours of fishing and we all caught fish. However, I was catching them more consistently (every cast) and they were bigger, the largest being fourteen and a half pounds.

One thing I really noticed about using the Stimulate Slam soft baits was that the strikes from the fish were a lot harder in comparison with Gulp. Another advantage is that these baits are made in New Zealand as well as across the ditch and I would support local industry any day over products manufactured further a field (Buy NZ made).
The Slam soft baits will be slightly cheaper as there are more soft baits in the packets compared to other products.

Anyway the point is: they worked extremely well and I look forward to future fishing with them."
