My favourite metal jigs have received some upgrades for 2022. HTO Shore Jigs now available in new fish-catching colours and upgraded assist hooks. Still, from only £2.49!

Painted Goby
Celebrated my 49th fish species on artificials by taking some incredibly dull photos of this Painted Goby. At least this photo shows the characteristic ‘saddles’ on the back.
PB Rock Goby
New PB Rock Goby caught while fishing the Cornish Lure Festival. Measured 13.5cm, which I believe is at the top of their known size range. A real bulldog of a goby and in fine fettle.
LRF Gilthead Bream
New species! My first UK Gilthead Bream on an artificial. Takes my UK lure species list to 47
HTO Weedless Cheb Hooks
New gear from HTO continues to arrive. These new HTO Weedless Cheb hooks look great for LRF with sizes down to a number 10.
5g HTO Shore Jig
Last week felt like that time of year that micro metal jigs become viable for almost every species.
PB Shanny
Beat my personal best Shanny (Common Blenny) with one measuring 17.5cm, caught in a rockpool in South Wales.
