Tackle Recommendations for Cape York fishing

Bransfords has recently doubled in size. Keith Graham and his team will look after you.

We suggest Bransfords Tackle Shop on the Cook Highway at Clifton Beach. They’re open 7 days a week and Clifton Beach is 20 kms north of Cairns City. They are situated right next to the MOBIL Service Station at Clifton Beach. If you purchase over $250-00 in assorted tackle they offer free freight ... or ... they will drop the goods into your hotel if you are overnighting in Cairns.

Also, if your time is limited, such as being in transit at Cairns Airport for a few hours, and there are two or more of you, Bransfords will pick you up from the Airport and get you back for your flight. They have a renowned Fishing Museum and Marine Art Gallery as well.

The following list of 'hot' lures plus other suggested gear can be purchased through Bransfords by ringing them on 07 4055 3918, faxing them on 07 4059 2651 or by logging onto their website www.bransfords.com.au. If you choose to purchase on line simply list the package buy and price.
