DAY ON THE COAST

Didn't take too long to hook up on the first drop, it was an unexpectantly tough fight...

A 7kg Golden Snapper, and a great surprise...

Bassday Nin Raba did the trick, was also using a bass rod by Megabass - the Orochi X-4 F6-68, a brute stick...

Another hook up and the Majorcraft Offblow bent double...

Another surprise in the form of an African Pompano, a rare catch!

A 'DUO' SPECIAL

The latest addition to our stable of brands, DUO has been actively churning out some radical new products that have taken Japan by storm. Anyhow, it was a good enough reason to hit the local lake to put some of these goodies to good use!

Didn't take long to have this Giant Snakehead snaffle a Perakko...

This model represents a whole new genre of lures - sinking propeller stickbaits. These uncanny incarnations were created to be retrieved slow underwater after letting it be sunk to the desired depth. The twin props spin at the slightest motion and help create a subtle twirl-wave that seems to have the usual cautious fish go mad...

Next it fooled a neat Sultan Fish and a pretty decent one too...

The perfect bite size for these largely shy species...

Trusty ol' Majorcraft Troutino was the perfect tool to work these small offerings, not to mentioned great joy against these hard running fish...

Another Giant Snakehead or Toman as called locally, on the Perakko...

After that we tried targetting the other hard fighter in the pond - the Asian Red Tail Catfish. Out came the perfect weapon for these bottom hugging creatures...

The DUO Ikakko - an interesting concept which has already proven itself fabulously in saltwater environs. Now we take it one step further and into the freshwater domain. Made to look like a little squid, it has a flutter fall which proves irresistable to many predators. The squid may obviously be a little out of place in freshwater, but the silhouette it casts underwater is not unlike a fleeing shrimp or baitfish. Coupled with that slinky flutter fall when paused, it is the perfect tool for many situations and species...

Didn't take too long to find another willing customer on the Ikakko...

No question about the hook up, it was perfectly placed...

Now this hook up was a tad more interesting. The single hook on the Perakko had found that sliver of a whisker, no doubt this fish was in hunting mode typical of all catfish - using their long sensitive appendages to find prey in the less than perfect water conditions. Let to sink and worked slow along the bottom, the Perakko showed its versatility in true class...

Out came another DUO lure which captivates with a beautiful flutter fall, the Yurameki is a sinking lipless stickbait no more than 50mm in size. It definitely punches above its weight and before long another Asian Red Tail hit the deck...

On the ultralight gear each fish gave a fight to remember. It was a good session in terms of variety with a few species caught. Having said that, we've only scratched the surface of the potential of these slick new baits. Can't wait to see what else they pull up next!
