RONZ LURES

Having returned from Nantes I received a package from Ivan a fishing friend who travels back and to to America on a regular basis, He fishes for Tuna and Stripers.

Ivan had given me some Ronz Lures and the ones he has given me are tough and match the sandeels we have here. The Jig Head is 7gms and is made of Tin with a good quality hook. The bodies are tough and well made. I cannot wait to give these a try and have already ordered a few more from the States.

Nantes 2013

Why do I bother each year to visit the Fishing show each year at Nantes, well it is not just to look at the pretty rods,reels and boats.

This year a number of Japanese tackle manufacturers were present including DUO, TENRYU, MEGABASS etc and it was great to speak to the testers of the equipment. There was also a French company which impressed me called Creafishing which have begun to manufacture their own jig heads and rods.

I was also impressed by the latest range of ILEX RODS which look great for local waters

I see that MONSTER TACKLE already have some in stock and I will be approaching Tom from Monster Tackle to buy one it is a question of do I go for the one piece of the two piece version. There were lures from most of the main manufacturers and it was great to see each one in detail

So roll on the spring so that I can try out a couple of specials I bought at the show
