Black Magic
Shop Black Magic Tackle at Compleat Angler Nedlands — quality Kiwi-made fishing gear trusted by anglers across Australia and New Zealand. Established in 1991 in Auckland, Black Magic has grown from a garage startup to a global brand renowned for chemically-sharpened hooks, innovative terminal tackle, and purpose-built fishing accessories.
Our Black Magic range covers the essentials and beyond. For game fishing, we stock the legendary Equalizer gimbal and harness system, bent butt adaptors, and harness reel clips — trusted by crews from Exmouth to the Abrolhos. Our terminal tackle selection includes IGFA-rated mono, Supple and Tough leaders, shark traces, tuna traces, and livebait balloons. For estuary and beach anglers, the Sandy Snatcher and Whiting Snatcher pre-tied rigs save time, while Spinmax casting metals are deadly on Perth's inshore species. We also carry Black Magic bait catchers, hook removers, scales, and waterproof tackle boxes.
From the rocks to the canyon, Black Magic delivers reliable, no-nonsense tackle. Free shipping on orders over $150.
