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.
Fiiish Crazy Sand Eel 100 5g
Really like the look of these mini Crazy Sand Eels by Fiiish. With new 5g Shore heads and slim 100 size bodies in a range of colours they’ll fish lovely on finesse gear and catch a range of species. Looking forward to trying these.
2015 British Lure Angling Championships
The 2015 BLAC fixtures have just been released. Find the full list here.
Jules has pulled out all the stops with new venues, a street fishing league and four saltwater events, including a final. It’s the perfect time for the freshwater anglers to get their own back on the LRFers ;0)
What do you like the look of?

Gear Of The Year 2014
Promised myself I would share my favourite gear of the year as we approach the end of 2014. And what a year it’s been! UK lure fishing has gone from strength to strength. LRF seemed to explode. Feels almost commonplace in some areas now. We gained a lure fishing series that saw our techniques and tackle tested. And more mainstream tackle manufacturers tried to get in on the act. So what did I like and why?
Perching with George Cunningham (HTO)
Without doubt, George Cunningham has had a huge influence on the state of light lure fishing here in the UK. George’s homegrown HTO brand has made it possible for thousands of people to try out LRF and ultralight fishing, without breaking the bank, discovering the addictive fun of these methods. By all accounts, the HTO Rockfish UL remains one of the best selling spinning rods of all time. So, when my threat of taking George Perch fishing on the Kennet & Avon finally looked like a goer last week, we were both really looking forward to it.
Getting Bigger Still
Very happy with this one today. Fished ‘slightly’ bigger because of the windy conditions and it inadvertently paid off with this beautiful 40cm Perch. My best (longest) from the Kennet and Avon for some time. It went 2lb 10 on the scales.
