When the guys at French Touch Fishing add new products to their range of lure fishing equipment, it’s worth a close look.
At Nantes this year we discovered Tiemco for the first time. French Touch Fishing have added a selection of Japanese Tiemco tackle to their 2012 catalogue, alongside another of our favourites – Reins.
Of special interest to us were the new Aqua Project Mebaru Hook jigheads. A fairly average – but high quality – jig Continue reading “Tiemco Aqua Project Mebaru Hook Jigheads”
Here’s something new. Ocean Ruler’s CrazyG HD jigs and jigheads were one of my favourite finds at the 2012 Nantes tackle show. As far as I know, the Ocean Ruler brand is owned by a Japanese tackle manufacturer called Tsuriken – known for innovation.

We’re 24 hours away from starting a lengthy journey. Driving down to the south coast, we’ll be catching the cross channel ferry from Portsmouth to Caen. Once in France we’ll need to drive a further 180 miles to Nantes – all this for a fishing tackle show.

We’ve talked about the recent uprising of specialist lure fishing shops before now, but I wanted to highlight one in particular – ‘Jacks LRF’.
I want to call Jacks LRF a ‘cottage industry’ type of business – I’m hoping neither Andy or Jack take offense at that. You see with Jacks LRF there’s a level of interest in ultralight lures that’s above the norm. The service is fantastic and friendly, and I can get unique, quality lures that I can’t obtain anywhere else. It’s specialist Continue reading “Jacks LRF Ultralight Lures”
