Baby Daiwa ISO Net Handle
There’s been a lot of interest in the Daiwa ISO telescopic net handle since I highlighted it in my 2014 Gear of the Year. New for 2015 is a shorter 3.60m version. I was lucky enough to fondle one at the show and it was noticeably lighter (480g vs 720g) – weight being the only negative I could raise about my 5.90m model.
It’s also more compact. Only 44cm when closed. It’s a really nice tool if you can get away with a 3.60m net where you fish.
Reins Aji Ringer Expert Rod
There were some super special rods at the show this year, but the Reins Aji Ringer Expert was hyper special.
Megabass Luvito 103
Best UL reel ever?? This Megabass Luvito 103 sure looks the part. 1000-size spinning reel from Megabass. Built with Daiwa DNA but pimped to the max!
What do you think about that handle knob?
Hookers French Boxes
Check out these ultra cool tackle boxes from French Touch Fishing.
Let’s face it, technology can only go so far with a bits box. So when you choose one, might as well get one from a brand you love. For me, it doesn’t get a lot cooler than FTF’s Hookers brand.
LRF West of Nantes
Many thanks to Ward for pointing us in the right direction and urging us to continue further west than we fished last year.
Fiiish Perfect Link Line System
Not really light enough to be appropriate for LRF however this new line concept from French firm, Fiiish is nicely thought out. ‘Perfect Link’ utilises the clear thinking they developed with their Black Minnow range. The correct braid, fluorocarbon and lure clips are matched and presented in groupings; Light, Medium, Strong and X-Strong.
