New for 2018, the Fiiish Candy Shrimp lure. A new saltwater lure designed to target sea-bream, although it will slay all manner of saltwater species. The lure is metal, allowing you to fish at depth should you require. The lure’s action is described as an undulating and planing action. The Candy Shrimp looks to be available in 2 colours, including UV and paint that glows. More info should become available after the major French tackle shows in the coming weeks.
Three weights and sizes exist at launch:
55mm 30g
72mm 60g
83mm 90g

While my passion for LRF continues to grow, at the beginning of 2012 we made an active, healthy, decision to make HRF (Hard Rock Fish) an intended focus this year.
This past weekend saw us travel over 150 miles to visit a tackle shop in Plymouth. Why? Because this was the grand opening of a special kind of store. One that gives us a rare glimpse of what tackle shops should be like. One for the modern angler.
