The ever-popular Abu Garcia Salty Stage Combo has been discontinued. An updated version in the form of the all-new Abu Garcia Max Pro Rod & Reel Combination has taken its place.
Abu Garcia rods and reels have long been the gold standard in fishing equipment, but they've outdone themselves this time around. New Max Pro Abu Garcia Combos are better than ever before, thanks to improved sensitivity for more successful captures! For those who want to finesse their game, we have 6ft 6 combos with a 1-3kg rating, while heavier-duty versions, such as the 6-10Kg rated ones, are ideal for barra or snapper fishing.
A 6+1 bearing spinning reel is included and comes pre-spooled with a premium four carrier braid for quick grabs and fishing convenience. These Abu Garcia Max Pro Rod & Reel Combos include a custom-designed reel seat with integrated polymer comfort grip - the perfect combination of strength, sensitivity and flexibility.
So you're looking to take your fishing game to the next level without breaking the bank?. Well, look no further; the Abu Garcia Max Pro Rod & Reel Combo is for you!

Buyers Guide
You can purchase several Max Pro Combo models to cover your different applications, but if you're just looking for one fishing combo, the choices are much easier if you take a quick look at our buying suggestions below.
Model 662XL - This finesse combination is ideal for the bream and whiting angler. It is 6ft 6 inches long and has one more advantage over the others in that it is simpler to handle in skinny water situations. This Combo makes an excellent option for land-based, kayak or boat anglers.
Model 702L - Our most popular model for anglers fishing lakes and rivers. 2-4Kg is always a brilliant line class for targeting a wide variety of fish in our local systems, from bream, whiting and flathead in the saltwater through to bass, trout and perch in the freshwater systems.
Model 702M - With a rating of 3-6Kg you open up even more fishing opportunities. Still perfect for the species we mentioned for model 702L with the added benefit of perhaps a larger grade of flathead, grunter, saratoga or bay and basin pinky snapper.
Model 702H - For this combination, three fishing scenarios come to mind. Light offshore for snapper or other reef fish, Barramundi and cod fishing are those examples. You could explore many options with the 702H Combo, from heavy inshore to light offshore, with its line class rating of 6-10 kg. Whether you pursue barra, fingermark, or mangrove jack, this Abu Garcia Max Pro Rod & Reel Combo has the power to tackle a broad range of Australian fish.
Model 601H - Same deal applies as per 702H; the only differences are that the rod is 6ft and is a single-piece construction fishing rod, and this can be an advantage if fishing from a boat as a shorter rod is often more manageable.

Our business as a whole started back in 2001 as Fishing Aqua Pet, a small retail Fishing Tackle, Aquarium and Pet store run by proprietor Ben Czulowski with wife Amie joining the business shortly after.
After Amie became pregnant with our first child in 2006 the pet and aquarium side of the business was dissolved and we focused just on the Fishing / Water sport side of the business renaming our trading name to Ocean Storm Fishing Tackle.
2005-2006 were slow beginnings online as we created our online store by ourselves from scratch. We received a small amount of orders per week but in 2007 saw our business explode to a new level after we passed the first few initial years of teething. We also expanded our product range to several thousand products most of which are stocked items ready to ship.
In 2012 we opened our massive warehouse store and have expanded our online fishing store into an online camping store also as well as offering for sale boating bits, soft surfboards and a whole lot more.
Today we have grown to the level of processing tens of thousands of orders a year and have built up a huge level of trust and confidence with our customers.
