Hi Guys and greetings from a fellow Bass fisherman in South Africa! The Shimano Catala (both 200 and 300) is available from Inside Sportfishing (Internet mailorder) see www.insidesportfishing.com/lowband/Market/ProdT27M183.asp
for $82-68 if anyone is interested. I do not know if this is a good price or not.

I must thank Rob for his great website where I have learnt a lot about using big baits for Bass - I still have to put the theory into practise as Florida strain Bass are only available about 500 - 800 miles from where I currently live.

Fish Chris' site is also great and he has given me lots of advice as well.

We are heading into winter and are rather envious hearing about all the catches of monster Bass in your part of the world.

Go well and enjoy the fishing!
