Dodged a bullet with the UK weather last week and took a holiday with the missus to the Caribbean Island of Tobago. Nice.

Tubular vs Solid Tip
My understanding of rod design and rod performance has accelerated since I started fishing for Perch in my local canal. Unlike the sea, conditions are more often than not suitable for throwing the tiniest lures. We’re often talking 1-inch plastics and jigheads under a gram. To me, it’s this style of fishing that has amplified the importance of using a balanced outfit. I thought I’d share where my head is at currently. Subject to change.
2015 Daiwa France Goodies
I love Daiwa France. In Europe, they’re the closest link we have to the wonderful world of Daiwa Japan.
New Illex Pepper Rod S 220 UL
The Illex Pepper was the first modern UL rod we fell in love with when we saw the original model back in 2011. For some reason neither of us has ever bought one. I can’t tell you why. It’s been like a scratch that needed to be itched. And then last year Chris, a good friend of ours did the deed.
So four years on, Illex have reworked the Pepper.
Daiwa Trousse à Jig (Jig Kit)
I really liked this compact lure wallet found tucked away on the Daiwa stand. Right up my street. Double sided. On one side, under a Velcro flap, are three pockets that look to be perfect size to hold more than enough soft-plastic packets for a session. Unzipping the other side reveals a foam pad for holding jigheads, hardbaits and metals. Plus there’s an internal mesh pocket for accessories and leader, etc.
