New Maria Lure: Squash. Official Video

Here is the new lure introduced by Maria Japan. It is a lipless darter "Ima sasuke" style. It is a big and fat lure  that looks very promising for chasing seabass. The spec are not yet definitive but we are talking about 125mm for 20 grams and three treble hooks. The colors and finish looks awesome. Wait for an introduction in April 2013 (Japanese market of course)

 

Video: Maria Slice

Cool video of the new lure introduced by Maria Japan. A vibration lure that will likely make a good impression in the Japanese Domestic Market.

Check the Slice official page. Very informative page designated for the lure. Lots of info, photos and videos. Too bad it is in Japanese. Nice effort.

Maria Lures: The Making

And here I think is the most important section of the webpage: How the lures are made. It is worth the read.

Made in Japan Quality

Love at first sight

If you look closely at the picture in the header you will recognize the lure. It is a Maria Blues Code. It is a lure that means a lot to me. It is the lure that got me my first fish at spinning and also it is the lure that I really enjoyed casting and reeling in. Made from the famous Japanese company Maria, it is ideal for many type of marine predatory fishes in the Mediterrean sea. It casts like a bullet, and if retrieved correctly, and with a little of creativity, it can give you big satisfactions. I heard of friends taking bluefish, barracudas, seabass and leerfish.
It is available in different sizes and weights. (45mm,60mm,90mm,115mm)

A 115mm BC in my favourite color (code:BBH)

The only drawback is in the original fragile Owner ST-36 treble hooks. Last year I lost a nice fish because of a bent hook. I don't know if they still mount the ST-36's but I would certainly switch (as I did myself) to the ST-46 or the even stronger st-56 models.

Check the link for more details, available colors and cool underwater videos that show the movement of the BC.
