New goods from Japan. Part 1

So here I am, taking some pictures of the items that I have just received from Japan. This time I got some stuff for my ultra light fishing: soft baits, jigeheads and a new PE line.

I want to try them as soon as possible but I am waiting for the harsh weather (snow) to calm down a little bit.

Here some sneak peak:


Package of MEBARU SHOKUNIN

Great looking package of ECOGEAR POWER SHIRASU

This is the ECOGEARAQUA KATSU AJI STRAIGHT 

This is an impressive PE line for the price. It is the entry model by the famous Japanese YGK brand. It is a  3 strand braid but looks and feels smooth enough. This one is 0.4 PE rated at 6lb. The package has a great feature that allows to spool the reel with ease. I think it is patented. Great stuff.
Here is the link : YGK (English)

Ajiym by Smith LTD. 

This soft bait is supposed to be a killer for Horse Mackerel.

First time getting a Tict product. V.R Head

This is it for now. Need some time to prepare my new setup and head to the sea. I just hope this cold winter will be over soon!

Seaspin Mommotti 190 in action

Nice bluefish caught on a Mommotti 190.

Daiwa Exist 2012. More info available

The Osaka Fishing Show has almost opened the doors and Daiwa is already putting online some info about the new products.

I have already posted a teaser about one of the most awaited products as the new Exist reel (here) but now Daiwa has a complete special page for the Exist. It is in Japanese but with the trusty google translate you can understand quite a bit about the features of this very cool looking reel.
