When I saw DUO lures on the internet for the first time, I was like OMG! Must have at least one of these. And here some problems showed up. Most stores I could find that have DUO in their catalog sell Tide Minnow series. And here comes my second problem, most of these lures are off my lure budget limit. Most of them cost like 22-25 pounds which is around 25-30 euros, and most postal charges are too high to buy just one lure. Beside that, I’m more interested in smaller lures from DUO, like Tetra Works series, and Spearhed series.
But then I found out that one of the stores here in my country just started to sell DUO. Oh my! Need them, I must have them! I’m gonna go crazy if I don’t buy at least one. So I went and bought two lures. First I almost bought Toto 42 and Yurameki, but then I changed my mind and bought Toto 421 and By Ruf SV-702.
Goby likes Bay Ruf
The same day I bought these two awesomenesses we also went Egigng. A very successful technique invented by Japanese for squid fishing from shore. I’ve never tried this type of fishing before. ActuallyI never liked squid fishing at all, because our traditional technique is dyingly boring. But Eging is awesome, not boring at all.
So this was also a good chance to try how the new lures work. And I was impressed immediately. I tided on Bay Ruf and made first cast, and then second. BAM, strike! Omg, what was that? I first thought that it was a sea-bass who attacked the lure but didn’t hook properly and immediately fell off. But on the end, a decent goby was hooked on. That explained the strike and later no fighting back.
Almost smaller from its prey
Now, let’s say something about eging part of the fishing. It was my first time to try this technique, as I’ve already mentioned before. I like this technique, because it is more dynamic than our traditional. It is also pretty technical. You must know what lure to use in certain conditions and so on.
Because I don’t have my own set of lures, yet!, my friend Jolly borrowed me one. So I was able to learn the proper technique. With old lures I have, one can also do this technique, but it’s not the same as if you have lures specifically made for it.
The Monster, squid I mean
Unfortunately, despite I basically knew how to do this technique, and had a proper lure, I caught nothing. But I’m not disappointed at all. Plus, conditions were not ideal, it was just after Burja sopped blowing in the morning of that day. And first days after Burja usually are not very good for squid fishing.
But! We didn’t go home without a catch! Jolly caught a couple of cuttlefish AND one squid. It weighted at least a kilo if not more. Just look at that “kursk”.
I’m already planing to buy at least a few of these Yamashita lures and head out to try to catch some squid next time.
Walkman, v bistvu hecno ime, hodeči mož, hehe. Ko sem ga pred dnevi izbrskal v enem od predalov v omari sem bil prav zadovoljen, da ga še imam. Bratu sem pljunil baterije, itak ne bo porajtal, in preizkusil “hudiča”. In glej, deloval je, sicer ne iz prve, ampak po nekaj pritisnjenih gumbih se je zbudil in začel vrteti kaseto.
