Stacer 519 Assault Pro a Mean Fishing Machine

STACER’S brand new serious fishing range the Assault Pro packs a punch with its new streamlined design and fishing features.

With a new hull shape featuring a sharper chine, sleek new gunnels and extra freeboard the 519 Assault Pro offers unbeatable stability at rest and cuts through swell with ease for a smooth and comfortable ride.

The redesigned 519 Assault is all about fishing with a rear casting platform including a live bait tank and front casting platform with a dual battery set up perfect for running an electric motor.

Built tough with the keen fisherman in mind the 519 Assault Pro features 4mm bottomsides and new modernised console for a sportier look with a wind deflector to protect the driver.

Stacer National Account Manager Drew Jackson said the new 519 Assault Pro was a game changer for Stacer’s fishing focussed range.

‘The new 519 Assault Pro really has set the mark for fishing boats and has been rated to 135hp to get you to your fishing spot quickly and includes a 77L fuel tank so you can stay out there all day.’

‘We have also extended the sides of the 519 Assault Pro by 120mm creating greater freeboard and ultimately better stability.’

‘You can option up the 519 Assault Pro to include a deluxe rod locker which can fit 4 rods up to 7ft in length and  you can even go one step further and upgrade to the electric rod locker,’ Drew said.

The 519 Assault Pro is available as a Stacer Ready 2 Go package complete with boat, motor, trailer and 3 year limited warranty for peace of mind.

We Don't See the Problem

One of our readers told us about sexy carp calendar or more correctly, this story about how it was such a bad thing! The calendar, known as The Carponizer  is designed to promote carp fishing in Germany.


Here is a  selection of the photos from the sexy fishing calendar. So what do you think?

And don't worry, no carp (or models) were hurt in the making of this calendar. The producers  say on Amazon:

"During the shoot greatest emphasis was placed on the well-being of carp and cute women"

And of course it was released just in time for Christmas.

Check out the handy tips and tackle advice in this great video from Jarvis Walker on how to catch snapper on soft plastic lures!
