Nitro Pro - Brad Bell
I started fishing about as soon as I knew how to walk. My old man would take me down to Western Port bay in Victoria where I cut my teeth chasing whiting and mullet. From an early age I developed a liking for lure fishing, it was a whole lot more satisfying tempting a fish to take something artificial. By the time I was a teenager the family had moved to Queensland which is where my sport fishing addiction really began to really develop. I was very lucky growing up to have a father with a more intense fishing addiction than me, sooo many lures…. By the time I was fifteen I had fished a lot of the far north’s greatest sport fishing locations. Spinning for jacks and barra fast became the only thing that I wanted to do. My dad used to write for a few of the country’s glossy magazines from time to time which is probably where my own writing and photography interests spawned.
Fast forward a few years I am now living in Western Australia’s North West and writing for a few of the state and national publications. I really enjoy my photography and sports fishing particularly heavy popping for GT’s and casting for big wild salt water barra. I have been fortunate enough to travel to some of the world’s best popping destinations in recent years however I find a whole lot more gratitude planning and succeeding in my own DIY trailer boat adventures. For me it is all about creating your own adventure and working hard to figure the place out.
I use Nitro rods because I know that I can rely on them during those intense moments that I often experience while fishing in Australia’s harsh North West. I particularly like the Nitro Viper and the Barra Dominator rods. They have unstoppable power down low and a fast enough taper to delicately work any lure or soft plastic with grace.
