The tackle industry requires specific knowledge and quite simply, Rene Vaz gets it.

Rene Vaz adds, we're very fortunate to have some great relationships around the world in the fishing industry and we're glad to be dealing with three suppliers who all share the same views as us in terms of wanting to put back into the sport we love.

MANIC TACKLE PROJECT IS LAUNCHED - 01 April 2008

Rene and Susan Vaz are turning their dream into reality and helping get even more New Zealanders turned onto fishing. Their new business venture, Manic Tackle Project is about getting high quality, affordable fishing equipment into the hands of New Zealanders as well as a sophisticated online space for keen anglers to learn more, share tips and hints and keep up to date with the industry. The business will focus on designing and distributing leading edge fishing tackle for expert anglers and for those wanting to learn more about the sport.

Manic will mix product development with a strong commitment to developing the tackle market by creating a resource for new anglers in the form of online tutorials, instructional and educational videos. Manic's website is designed as a community base for anglers to give their feedback on product development and even product selection from suppliers.
