Two more lures from Berkley Powerbait that caught my eye. Would be happy using either of these 2-inch lures on the UL for the Perch. Both the Gotam Shad and the Drop Shot Minnow feature holographic flash and bright colours – ideal for the canal.
Berkley Powerbait Shrug Minnow
Pure Fishing, the worldwide distributors of brands like Abu Garcia, Penn and Berkley, has its own giant show for the trade on another date, but they did have a presence at T&G and there were a few items I found interesting.
These 1.5 inch Shrug Minnows look great for LRF. They’re from Berkley’s Saltwater Powerbait range and come flavoured with the Powerbait formula. Always pleased to see something saltwater specific. This Clear Gold Fleck colour stood out.
Rapala Angry Birds
Well I wasn’t expecting this…
Rapala Angry Birds mashup!
Pretty cool.

T&G Tackle Show 2013
Shot up to Stoneleigh Park yesterday to visit the Tackle and Guns Trade Show and check out what’s going on in the UK tackle industry. I’ve been lucky enough to attend the last few years and it’s been a delight to see the growth of lure fishing in that relatively short time.
Tict Maetel Mini
Found these Tict Maetel Mini slow jigs on the Lure Heaven stand at T&G. Super shiny, chromed metal jigs with a wide profile. Silver, gold or pink. Look great.
Hart Rock & Street Metal Lures
The Tronix stand displayed an array of new metal lures from Hart, including a number in their Rock & Street range – perfect for LRF.
Decent LRF Pollock
Nice pollock near my LRF PB. Pleasing as I was trialing a new lure for me – the Spro Bucktail Jig
