When it comes to PWC fishing, Jetcast out of Queensland, Australia pushes the limits of this fast-growing sport! From stainless steel and bungee tethers, to innovative “rod wraps” and reel covers, Jetcast offers a complete line of purpose-based products to protect your fishing gear from damage or loss overboard.
Personal watercraft are subjected to constant bombardment by saltwater and spray when out on the ocean. According to Jetcast, “The analogy is getting a firehose and shooting saltwater at your reels!”
“IPX7 reels are only available in spinning configurations, so who wants to use one type of reel? Overhead reels, specialist jigging reels, and “bait casters” are the mainstay of the serious fisho these days, with spinning reels the go-to choice for topwater casting.”
The Jetcast standard reel covers are easy to fit and remove, but more importantly they keep reels dry just as well as more expensive covers. These covers are made from water-resistant polyester and vinyl, and have Velcro seals to stay securely on covers when riders are traveling at high speed.
Rusler’s Deluxe Reel cover is made from REC Coated Acrylic Canvas for strength and water resistance. Sewn to Jetcast’s specifications, the Deluxe Reel Cover will comfortably hold a 7000 series reel. The cover wraps around Rod handles for a tight fit.
The Deluxe cover features a Velcro fastening system and comes standard with a bungee cord and swivel clip for attachment to your rod holder or cooler rocket launcher.
When out in the ocean on a PWC, just about anything can fall overboard at any given time! Lost fishing rods and reels are unfortunately very common. Jetcast offers different varieties of tethers to keep your gear where it belongs- attached to your ski!
The Jetcast stainless steel tethers are made of 3mm (3/32nds on an inch) nylon-coated stainless wire and are 750mm (2.5 feet) in length. After much testing and research Jetcast has found that these tethers are the perfect size for securing gear on a PWC.
The main clip on the Jetcast stainless tether can be opened with just one hand, and features a locking clasp at the other end- with a screw-barrel to stop the clip from being removed by accident.
Rusler’s Jet Ski Bungee leash is manufactured with heavy duty 6mm (just less than ¼ in) cord to an overall length of 740mm (About 2.4 feet) designed to stretch to 1200mm (about 4 feet) or more. Brass clamps and shrink wrap are used for long life of the product.
At each end is two heavy duty #316 marine grade snap hooks – one that swivels making attachment easier to apply and remove. Perfect when purchased with the Rod Wrap straps for fastening your rods or fishing accessories. (You’ll find this Rod Wrap also in the Jetcast store).
How do you connect your tethers to your fishing gear? The Jetcast “Rod Wraps” are sturdy straps with stainless steel loops for a strong connection that won’t let you down -or get in the way. Jetcast is expected to release smaller diameter versions that suit the narrow shafts of modern Jig rods.
