Earlier this year, myself and the team from Prime Angling visited the greatest tackle show on the planet – the Osaka Fishing Show, in Japan. Part of the reason we went was to pick out the hottest, new lure fishing equipment for the new Prime Angling website. Of course, LRF tackle featured heavily!
LRF Rods
There’s now a huge choice of LRF fishing rods and deciding which rod to buy is a very personal decision. Solid-tip or tubular? 8ft, 7ft, 6ft, or even the latest trend of butt-less, featherweight, 5-footers? Parabolic or extra fast action? Duplon or cork? Screw-up or screw-down? SiC or Torzite? The list goes on and on. The following posts about light lure rods may not help you with all these decisions, but hopefully they will give you some ideas.

Busy With HTO
Thought I’d give a little update on what I’ve been up to of late. I’ve actually been really busy. Since joining Tronix / HTO almost a month today I’ve already done three magazine features on the Perch side. One on ultralight jigging for a tackle pull-out, one on Dropshot for the Angling Times and another for AT that’s yet to be published – again on the lighter side of luring. It’s been interesting as I’ve had to very quickly adapt my tackle choices, trying to replicate the winning formula with a new range of gear.
