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.

A late start...

About three years ago I had the idea of writing a blog about plug fishing and shore jigging. I was ready with the images, the text, the stories to post  but somehow I never gave it a proper start. 
I started and lately deleted many blog account, always held back by personal issues or general laziness :)
After years of fishing around and tons of money spent on a wide range of tackles, here I am, ready, this time, to start this long planned blog.
Here you will not see many fancy exotic locations, trophy sized fishes or stunning videos. Instead I'll try to focus on fishing gear, lures, snaps, tackle etc. Sure, from time to time I will have the joy to share some amazing pics or video links found over the net, but I am planning more on introducing my favorite tackle, give updates about new products hitting the market and whatever you can think about lure fishing and shore jigging. 
Enjoy...
