Angler's Republic Photo Gallery

While browsing the english website of the famous Japanese brand I found a very nice photo gallery. The quality of the photos is on par with those we see on fly fishing magazines. A real gem.
Have a look if you enjoy photography.

2012 Palms Rods Catalog

Here is the 2012 digital catalog of the famous Japanese Rod Maker. Enjoy.

Daiko Fishing Tackle Gallery

This is something really cool. I think I have never seen anything like this before and I think it is worth sharing on my blog. It is the Daiko Rod Gallery located in Osaka Japan. The famous Japanese Rod maker has spent time and resources to create a gallery that resembles the real "art galleries" we are used to know. You can see 350 rods all places carefully on special racks.
After all their rods are really some piece of art. As usual the Japanese amazes us with these kind of places where everything is bases on essential and cool artwork.
There isn't much to see on the website, just a few photos and opening hours. Just have a look and wish one day we will see something similar in our countries.

Lure Closeup: DUEL Adagio 125

I love the action of lipless lures. One of my favorites has always been the Maria Blues Code but other lures like the DUEL Adagio has caught my attention. This one from DUEL is a real gem.
It casts like a bullet (70m according to Duel) and has an incredible "flashy" action. The finish is superb and the "three sided"  body emits tons of flash during retrieve.
It comes in four different sizes: 65mm/85mm/105mm/125mm.  I use the 65mm mostly for seabass in calm waters and the 125 for possible encounters with big sized bluefish.

Detail of the eye.

The wire through structure is a big bonus when chasing huge fishes.

DUO Field Reports

I love the net. I enjoy the fact that I can browse fishing website and read lots of reports. When I cannot go fishing I read the reports as a way to escape my ordinary office life and imagine those beautiful fishes that I see in photos.

There is a very interesting fishing report section at DUO official website. It is in Japanese but thanks to google translate you can pretty much understand roughly 70% of what is written. These are short reports but the quality of the pictures is great. You can enjoy photos of great fishes, lures and astonishing fishing grounds. I enjoy checking them from time to time. You can also find some info on the tackle used for the specific fishing trip.
They are written by great anglers sponsored by DUO. Have a look and enjoy. Don't forget google translate :)

DUO Field Reports

UrbanCastMan Strikes!

My friend the UrbanCastMan has just returned from an amazing fishing trip in Corsica Island and posted a great report on his blog. Too bad the report is written in Italian. Most of you might not be able to read it but the pictures alone are worth checking the article. Some nice fishes and amazing locations.

Briefly I can say that he got many fishes including a big Dentex Dentex on a DUO Press Bait Saira lure. You can check the rest here.
By the way, congratulation!! great stuff!

Nice huh!?
