RTBroughton Lures
Ray Broughton is a living legend amongst Australian lure designers, famous for the RTB Legend Lures and his signature “Shimmy”. The RTB Legends became famous in the 1990s for catching Murray cod on Lake Mulwala and were popular with professional and recreational fishermen alike.
In 2020, Ray rediscovered his passion for designing and crafting timber lures that are attractive to look at, swim perfectly and — most importantly — attract and catch a large variety of fish.
Mako Polarised Eyewear
We believe Mako make the best polarised fishing sunglasses on the market and once you put them on your own nose, we know you’ll see things our way.
We see the major point of difference in Makos over their competition being that the owners of Mako are optometric professionals who LOVE TO FISH! They know our needs, because they are anglers tool

Jo’s Amazing New Makos
As I age, I struggle more and more with my eyesight. I wasn’t always as blind as a bat, but decades of focusing on a computer screen and a torn retina through a sporting injury have taken their toll. I can’t see a thing without prescription glasses… and since meeting the family behind Mako Eyewear, I literally haven’t looked back! Now, I’m sporting the top-of-the-range, Mako RG2H5 glass lenses and I’m gob-smacked! I’ve never seen so clearly!
