Shimano TheBantam World Crank 73F is a floating wobbler featuring the latest Shimano technology, which gives it an extremely long and accurate cast. With Flash Boost and Scale Boost for visual appeal and Jet Boost for long cast efficiency and accuracy, this is the perfect lure to tackle large areas of water with a depth of nearly 4m. The large tongue and good balance create a smooth but aggressive swim when the lure is retrieved at a constant speed. When the bait is stopped, it slowly rises to the surface and gently sways. The Scale Boost 3D holographic film produces a remarkably realistic scale pattern, which is particularly noticeable to predators. The lure has two very sharp and strong treble hooks.

Shimano Exsence Silent Assassin Flash Boost 99SP is the most technologically advanced Shimano lure ever made for catching sea bass. The wobbler features a Jet Boost function that increases casting efficiency - perfect for when fish are feeding at a distance. "Flash Boost increases attractiveness by reflecting light, even when stationary, while Scale Boost's realistic scale pattern is extremely eye-catching and very tempting for bass. Silent Assassin has a strong reel action when using a conventional steady line, but aggressive action can be increased with sharp jerks or a sliding action with long rod tip pulls.

River Custom Baits Fury 7cm 6g is a handcrafted floating wobbler from Polish lure maker Bartalomij Usakowski, designed for the discerning predator angler who values a genuinely hand-built presentation over mass-produced alternatives. With a broad colour range and models tailored to specific species and fishing conditions, the Fury 7 is an excellent choice for both the newcomer and the experienced specialist.

This particular model was developed with trout and salmon in mind, yet it also performs well for pike, perch and larger brown trout. Its compact 7 cm body and 6 g weight make it easy to cast accurately on light and medium spinning tackle, while the floating construction allows it to be worked slowly across the surface or just beneath it.

The Fury 7 is particularly effective when fished in rivers and shallow water. Because it floats, it can be retrieved with a steady winding action, twitched, or paused to let the lure rise — a technique that often triggers reaction strikes from following fish. The shallow diving depth of approximately 1.5 m keeps the lure in the productive upper layer where trout and salmon frequently feed.

Each lure is fitted with sharp and strong MUSTAD treble hooks, a brand trusted by anglers worldwide for reliable hook points and consistent holding power. The trebles are matched to the size of the lure, giving a balanced presentation that swims correctly without rolling or tangling.

The Fury 7 is available in a wide selection of trout and salmon-inspired colour patterns, including natural browns, bright flourescent tones and special editions. This variety allows anglers to match the hatch, adapt to water clarity and light conditions, or simply choose a colour that suits their local water.

Whether you are targeting trout in a fast-flowing river, casting for salmon in a clear pool, or searching for perch and pike along the margins, the River Custom Baits Fury 7 offers a versatile, handcrafted option that deserves a place in any lure box.

Shimano Stradic FM is one of the best-known, most popular and highly regarded spinning reels in the Shimano range, built for anglers who demand strength, reliability and smoothness in equal measure. This is a reel that has earned its reputation over many seasons of serious spinning, and the FM generation continues that tradition with a refined, dependable design.

The reel feels remarkably solid in the hand, and that impression is backed up by its construction. Hagane Gear technology delivers the strength and durability that Shimano reels are known for, giving you confidence when you hook a powerful fish or need to apply pressure close to snags and structure. The result is a reel that stands up to repeated use rather than one that only performs well on the first outing.

Smoothness is where the Stradic FM really stands out. MicroModule II gearing and Silent Drive work together to produce an exceptionally fluid retrieve, with minimal vibration and noise through the handle. For lure anglers this translates into better feel and control, whether you are working a soft plastic slowly along the bottom or retrieving a spinner at speed.

X Protect adds a further layer of durability, helping to keep the internal mechanisms protected during long sessions and in changeable conditions. Combined with the strength of the Hagane Gear body and drive train, this makes the Stradic FM a reel that can be relied upon rather than one that needs to be treated with excessive care.

Casting performance is another area where this reel impresses. The line flows off the spool cleanly and consistently, which supports accurate, repeatable casts and helps you cover water efficiently. That efficiency matters when you are fishing large expanses of water or making repeated casts to the same productive area.

Because of its strength and smoothness, the Stradic FM is a genuinely versatile choice. It performs well in both still and flowing waters, and it has the backbone to handle larger fish taken on big lures. It is equally at home in saltwater, making it a practical option for sea fishing as well as freshwater spinning.

The range covers a wide spread of sizes from 1000 up to 4000, including compact, shallow-spool and high-gear-ratio options, so there is a version to suit light finesse work, general spinning and heavier applications alike. Whether you are targeting perch and pike on inland waters or fishing the coast, the Stradic FM offers a dependable, refined platform.

Gamakatsu LS-3423F are premium Japanese-made single hooks designed to replace the treble hooks on spinners and plugs. They feature a special profile that ensures a fast, secure hookset and reliable fish retention during the fight.

The large turned-up eye makes it quick and easy to attach the hook to the split rings of plugs or spinners, allowing you to swap hooks efficiently on the bank or in the boat. This design is particularly useful when you want to reduce the number of hook points without sacrificing hooking potential.

Manufactured by Gamakatsu in Japan, these hooks are known for their consistent quality and sharpness. The single-hook configuration is a popular choice among anglers who prefer a more fish-friendly setup or need to comply with fishery rules that restrict treble hooks.

The LS-3423F is available in a range of sizes to suit different lure types and target species. Whether you are fishing for perch, pike, zander or trout, selecting the appropriate size allows you to match the hook to your lure and fishing situation.

Each pack contains a varying number of hooks depending on the size chosen: size 2 contains 6 hooks, size 4 contains 7 hooks, size 6 contains 7 hooks, size 8 contains 8 hooks, and size 10 contains 8 hooks. This ensures you have a suitable supply for multiple lure modifications.

Gamakatsu Single 31 are Japanese-made single hooks developed specifically for mounting soft lures securely. The barbs on the back of the hook shank keep the lure firmly in place so it does not slide down during the retrieve, helping the bait stay correctly presented cast after cast.

The hook features a large eye, which makes it easy to thread and allows it to be used with a wide range of rigs and hooklink materials. This design is particularly well suited to free-rig fishing, where the hook is fished without a traditional weight directly on the hooklink.

Because the hook is fished on a free-rig system, it gives you the option to change the weight without changing the lure or the hook. This makes it a practical choice when you need to adapt quickly to different depths, distances or conditions while keeping the same bait presentation.

The Gamakatsu Single 31 is widely regarded as one of the best hooks for free-rig presentations. Its single-hook design also helps reduce snagging compared with treble hooks, which can be an advantage when fishing around soft cover or in weedy areas.

The hooks are available in a range of sizes to suit different lure types and target species. Please select your preferred size from the options above.

The Okuma Ceymar HD (CHD) is the new 2023 upgrade to the legendary Ceymar series, redesigned from the ground up with one goal: maximum strength with ultra-smooth performance. Built on the modern "HD" (Heavy Duty) platform, this reel delivers exceptional durability and power while maintaining feather-light rotation.

At the heart of the Ceymar HD is the HDG-II drive system (High Density Oversized Gearing) — enlarged, high-density gear teeth that increase torque, improve durability, and ensure stable power even under heavy load. The screw-in aluminium handle provides a solid, flex-free connection for maximum cranking strength.

One of the biggest improvements is Okuma’s innovative frictionless main shaft system. The redesigned pinion is partially cut out in the centre to reduce contact with the main shaft, dramatically decreasing friction during rotation. This results in smoother, lighter, more effortless handle turning — even with the reel under pressure.

Combined with a shaft stabilisation system and precision engineering, the Ceymar HD offers a truly refined feel while remaining tough enough for predator fishing, general spinning, and heavier lure work.

Key Features & Benefits

• 2023 New Ceymar HD design – stronger, smoother, more powerful

• HDG-II oversized high-density gearing for torque & durability

• Frictionless main shaft reduces internal resistance for ultra-smooth rotation

• Modified pinion with reduced friction surface for effortless turning

• Screw-in aluminium handle for maximum cranking strength

• Stabilised gear system ensures long-term performance under load

• Built for power spinning, predator fishing, pike, zander, bass, trout & all-round use

• Available in wide size range: 1000 / 2000 / 3000 / 4000 / 5000

Select Tackles Gamma 1.5g is a curved spoon-style lure developed specifically for trout fishing. Its compact 25 mm body and 1.5 g weight make it a highly effective choice for targeting trout in commercial stillwaters, where it has become a very popular pattern among anglers.

The Gamma is a curved blade spoon that produces a lively, fluttering action in the water. It works well even when retrieved very slowly, allowing you to fish it effectively in cold conditions or when trout are reluctant to chase fast-moving lures. This slow-retrieve capability makes it a versatile option for both stillwater and river fishing.

Although designed with trout in mind, the Select Tackles Gamma is also suitable for catching char, perch, pike and chub. Its small profile and light weight make it ideal for light spinning outfits and finesse presentations.

The lure features a special paint finish that has been time-tested and proven through extensive testing. This durable coating helps maintain the lure's appearance and fish-attracting qualities over repeated use.

With a length of 2.5 cm and a weight of 1.5 g, the Gamma is available in a range of colour options (01 to 09), allowing you to match the hatch or choose a contrasting pattern depending on water clarity and light conditions.

Select Tackles Alpha 1.4g is a curved spoon-style lure developed specifically for trout fishing. Its compact 20 mm body and 1.4 g weight make it a highly effective choice for targeting trout in commercial stillwaters, where pressured fish often respond best to small, natural-looking presentations.

The Alpha features a curved blade profile that produces a tight, enticing action even when retrieved at very slow speeds. This makes it particularly useful in cold water or when fish are reluctant to chase faster lures. The blade is finished with a special paint process that has been time-tested and field-proven for durability and fish appeal.

Although designed with trout in mind, the Select Tackles Alpha is also effective for char, perch, pike and chub. Its small size and light weight allow it to be fished on light spinning tackle, making it suitable for ultra-light setups and finesse presentations.

The lure is available in nine colour variants (01 to 09), giving anglers the flexibility to match different water conditions, light levels and prey preferences. Each variant retains the same 1.4 g weight and 20 mm length.

For best results, fish the Alpha on a slow, steady retrieve or with gentle lifts and pauses. Its ability to work at low speeds makes it a valuable addition to any trout angler's box, especially in venues where fish have seen a lot of pressure.

Savage Gear AW Sling Rucksack is a purpose-built fishing bag designed for anglers who wade into the water and need their tackle and essentials kept close, secure and protected. Whether you are working a river, exploring a shoreline or fishing from a boat, this sling rucksack keeps your gear within easy reach while leaving both hands free to fish.

The bag is made from a water-resistant material, helping to shield your contents from splashes, rain and the damp conditions that are part and parcel of wading sessions. The main zip is also weather-resistant, adding an extra layer of protection at the point where water most commonly finds its way into a bag. Together, these features make the AW Sling Rucksack a sensible choice for anglers who fish in unpredictable conditions and want their gear to stay dry.

Carrying comfort has been carefully considered. The bag features adjustable ergonomic straps that allow you to tailor the fit to your body shape and layering, so the bag sits securely whether you are wearing light clothing in summer or bulky waders and a jacket in colder months. A padded shoulder strap helps distribute the load and reduces pressure on the shoulder during longer sessions, making the bag comfortable to carry over extended periods.

The sling design means the bag can be rotated to the front of the body for quick access to your tackle, tools or bait without having to take it off. This is particularly useful when you are standing in the water and do not want to return to the bank every time you need something. The compact footprint keeps the bag close to the body, minimising snagging and helping you move freely along the water.

With dimensions of 39 x 25 x 13 cm and a capacity of 13 litres, the AW Sling Rucksack offers a practical amount of storage for a wading session. It is large enough to hold a selection of tackle boxes, a reel, leader material, tools and a few personal items, yet compact enough to remain unobtrusive when you are on the move. The 13-litre volume strikes a useful balance between carrying capacity and freedom of movement.

This bag is well suited to a range of fishing situations where mobility and protection matter. It is a natural fit for lure fishing, spinning, wading rivers and shore fishing, as well as for boat sessions where space is limited. The water-resistant construction and weather-resistant main zip make it a dependable companion in wet environments, while the sling carry system keeps your essentials accessible at all times.

In summary, the Savage Gear AW Sling Rucksack combines a water-resistant build, a weather-resistant main zip, adjustable ergonomic straps and a padded shoulder strap in a compact 13-litre package. For anglers who wade and want a comfortable, protective and easily accessible way to carry their gear, it is a well-considered choice.

Favorite Blue Bird 2.22m 3-12g is a spinning rod from a series built for micro jigging and light jigging, giving anglers a dedicated tool for finesse presentations with small lures. The blank is constructed from medium-modulus Skyflex30T carbon fibre, a material chosen to combine a manageable weight with reliable responsiveness during retrieve and on the strike.

The rod features a fast spinning action, making it fairly stiff and sensitive in use. This character supports direct contact with the lure, helping the angler feel what is happening at the business end when working jigs or lures with subtle movements. The fast action also assists with positive hook sets when fish take close to structure or on the drop.

The handle is an ergonomic EVA grip with a carbon fibre locking nut. EVA is a practical choice for a fishing rod handle because it offers a secure hold in wet conditions and is easy to keep clean. The carbon fibre locking nut adds a modern finish and contributes to the overall lightweight feel of the handle section.

A notable design detail is the cut-away front handle, which allows the angler to place a finger directly on the blank. This gives a useful point of contact for detecting subtle bites and, when required, the exposed blank section can act as a support point during the fight. It is a feature often appreciated by anglers who prefer a direct connection to the rod's action.

The rod is fitted with modern Li-Ti guides arranged according to the KR concept. The KR guide layout is designed to manage line flow efficiently along the blank, which can help reduce friction during casting and retrieving. The tip guide is slim and lightweight, keeping the front end of the rod responsive and reducing unnecessary weight where it matters most.

With a length of 2.22 m and a casting weight range of 3-12 g, this is a light spinning rod suited to fishing from a boat or from the bank on smaller waters. Its action makes it suitable not only for jigging techniques but also for fishing with wobblers, giving the angler flexibility across a range of light lure presentations.

The rod has a hollow tip section, which is a common construction choice in rods of this type and contributes to the overall balance and feel of the blank. Whether you are targeting perch, zander or other predators with small lures, the Favorite Blue Bird 2.22m 3-12g offers a focused setup for finesse spinning.

Favorite Blue Bird 2.04 m 0.8-5 g is a spinning rod from a professional series built specifically for micro jigging and light jigging. It is designed for anglers who fish the lightest weights and need precise control over small lures, making it a natural choice for perch fishing along the bank.

The blank is manufactured from medium-modulus Skyflex30T carbon fibre. This material combination gives the rod a light, responsive feel while retaining enough backbone for confident hook sets. The Extra Fast action means the rod bends mainly in the upper section, keeping the lower part relatively stiff and transferring movement directly from the hand to the lure.

Because the blank is fairly stiff and sensitive, it transmits even subtle contact with the bottom, soft takes and light taps very clearly. This is particularly useful when fishing micro jigs, where bite detection often depends on feeling the lure rather than seeing the rod tip move.

The rod features an ergonomic EVA handle with a carbon fibre locking nut. EVA is durable, comfortable to hold for long sessions and offers a secure grip even in wet conditions. The carbon fibre locking nut adds a modern look and keeps the reel firmly in place.

The cut-away front handle allows you to place a finger directly on the blank. This gives you extra contact with the rod and, when needed, the exposed blank section can act as a support point for precise lure control and improved bite indication.

Modern Li-Ti guides are fitted and arranged according to the KR concept. This guide layout is designed to manage line flow efficiently, reduce friction and help the rod perform well with modern braided lines. The tip guide is thin and lightweight, which helps preserve the fast, responsive action of the upper section.

The rod is intended mainly for perch fishing in the bank zone with the lightest weights and passive lures. Its sensitive solid tip further improves bite indication, making it easier to register cautious takes from small predators.

Favorite Blue Bird 1.83 m 0.5-3 g is a professional spinning rod series built specifically for micro jigging and light jigging. This rod is designed for anglers who demand precision, sensitivity and control when fishing small soft lures at short to medium distances.

The blank is constructed from medium-modulus Skyflex30T carbon fibre, a material chosen for its excellent balance of lightness, responsiveness and durability. The Extra Fast action delivers a crisp, fairly stiff and highly sensitive feel, allowing you to detect even the most tentative takes and set the hook quickly and firmly.

The rod features an ergonomic EVA handle with a carbon fibre locking nut, providing a secure and comfortable grip during long sessions. The cut-away front handle exposes the blank, allowing you to rest your finger directly on it for enhanced bite detection and, when needed, use it as a support point during the fight.

Equipped with modern Li-Ti guides arranged according to the KR concept, the rod benefits from reduced weight, improved line flow and increased casting efficiency. The tip guide is particularly thin and lightweight, further enhancing the rod's overall balance and sensitivity.

With its solid monolithic tip, this spinning rod excels when fishing soft lures at short to medium range, offering the responsiveness needed for precise lure control and reliable hook sets.

Jackall Timon Tricoroll 56SR-F is a premium floating minnow lure produced by the renowned Japanese lure manufacturer Jackall. It is primarily designed for catching all species of salmonids in flowing water, making it an excellent choice for trout, char and salmon anglers who demand reliable performance in challenging river conditions.

The lure features a distinctive flat-sided body combined with an original, carefully engineered balancing system. This design allows the Timon Tricoroll to hold exceptionally well in strong currents while still achieving impressive casting distances. Whether you are fishing a fast-flowing river or a deeper pool, this lure maintains a stable and attractive action.

The Timon Tricoroll 56SR-F performs beautifully with a variety of retrieve styles. When retrieved steadily, it swims with a pronounced wobbling and rolling action that triggers aggressive strikes. It also responds excellently to light twitching, making it a versatile option for anglers who like to vary their presentation. The floating buoyancy allows it to be fished shallow, and it can be paused and twitched over weed beds or structure.

While primarily intended for trout, char and salmon, the Timon Tricoroll is also highly effective for pike, zander, perch and chub. Its realistic profile and subtle action make it a superb choice for targeting predatory fish in rivers and streams. The lure is available in a wide range of proven colour patterns, including GB Pirarucu II, Copper Trout, Pink Ayu, Pellet Yellow, Yonayona Sweet Apple, Laser Silver & Black, Sight Red & Gold, Silver Yamame, Pearl Ayu, Tennessee, Lime Yamame, Shinsyu Yukishiro Pink, Gujoayu Rekka, Ecchu Yukishiro Blue Black, Ecchu Ukimizu White Back, Parallel Chartreuse, Flash Blueback, Iwana, HL Silver & Black, Forest Brown Fish, Trout (LIT), Brown Silver Yamame and Yoneshiro Multi Black.

With a length of 56 mm and a weight of 3.7 g, the Timon Tricoroll 56SR-F is perfectly suited to light spinning and finesse fishing. Its diving depth of 0.5 to 0.8 metres makes it ideal for shallow river sections, riffles and runs where salmonids actively feed. The floating design allows anglers to work the lure slowly over shallow cover and then twitch it back to the surface, imitating a distressed baitfish.

Manufactured in Japan to exacting standards, the Jackall Timon Tricoroll 56SR-F combines high-quality components with a refined finish. The lure is built to withstand the rigours of repeated casts and aggressive strikes, making it a dependable addition to any serious angler's tackle box. Whether you are targeting wild river trout or migratory salmon, this lure delivers the performance and reliability that Jackall is famous for.

Jackall Timon Tricoroll 55S is a premium sinking minnow produced by the renowned Japanese lure manufacturer Jackall. Designed primarily for targeting all salmonid species in flowing water, this compact 55 mm lure combines a flat-sided body with an original, carefully engineered balancing system that allows it to hold steady in strong currents while still casting impressively long distances.

The flat-sided profile is a key feature of the Tricoroll 55S. It creates a tight, rolling action on a steady retrieve, with the lure swaying and flashing side to side in a way that triggers aggressive reactions from predatory fish. The internal balancing system shifts weight during the cast to improve aerodynamics, then settles to keep the lure stable and responsive in the water.

This sinking lure is equally effective when twitched. Short, sharp rod tips make the Tricoroll 55S dart and turn, producing an erratic, wounded-baitfish presentation that is ideal for pressured fish. Whether you fish it with a straight retrieve or a twitching cadence, the lure responds with a lively, natural action.

With a sinking buoyancy and a working depth of approximately 0.5 to 1 m, the Tricoroll 55S is well suited to shallow rivers, streams and runs where salmonids hold in the current. Its 3.5 g weight makes it manageable on light spinning tackle, while still offering enough mass to cast accurately into tight pockets and seams.

Although developed with trout, sea trout and salmon in mind, the Tricoroll 55S is a versatile lure that also appeals to pike, zander, perch and chub. This makes it a useful addition to a predator angler's box, covering both salmonid and coarse fishing situations.

The lure is available in a wide range of proven colour patterns, including natural trout and ayu imitations, bright attractor schemes and UV-reactive finishes. Each variant is supplied with a strong, sharp treble hook setup ready for fishing.

Daiwa Tournament X8 Braid EVO+ is a premium green 8-strand braided fishing line engineered for anglers who demand maximum performance from their tackle. Manufactured in Japan to the highest production standards, this line combines an exceptionally smooth finish with reliable knot strength, making it a versatile choice across a wide range of fishing disciplines.

The line features a low-friction coating that allows it to glide quietly and effortlessly through rod guides. This smooth passage reduces noise and friction during casting and retrieving, which can contribute to longer, more accurate casts and a more enjoyable fishing experience. The coating also helps the line maintain its performance characteristics over time.

One of the standout qualities of the Tournament X8 Braid EVO+ is its excellent knot-holding ability. It performs reliably when tied to itself and when connected to other line types, including fluorocarbon leaders. This makes it suitable for rigs and presentations where a leader connection is required, giving anglers confidence that their knots will hold under pressure.

Thanks to the wide range of diameters and the 135 m spool capacity, this braid can be used for a variety of applications. It is equally at home on a spinning reel for lure fishing, on a big pit carp reel, or when targeting large fish in demanding destinations such as Norway. The range of breaking strains from 4.9 kg to 12.2 kg allows anglers to select the appropriate strength for their chosen technique and target species.

The line is available in the following PE ratings and diameters:

PE#0.6 – 0.08 mm – 4.9 kg

Bassday Sugar Minnow Stream 85SP-MR is a 2021 novelty lure designed specifically for salmon fishing. This suspending minnow has been developed to work reliably even in the strongest currents and at greater depths, making it a dependable choice for demanding river and estuary conditions.

In the water the lure performs with a lively, wide wobbling action, rolling from side to side. During the pause it holds a slightly forward-leaning posture, which helps it stay in position in flowing water instead of being swept away. This characteristic is particularly useful when fishing slow presentations in strong current.

The medium-sized lip protects the hooks from snagging on various obstacles, allowing you to fish closer to structure with greater confidence. The lure is equipped with exceptionally sharp X-Strong Treble size 5 hooks, providing reliable hook penetration when a salmon takes.

With a length of 8.5 cm and a weight of 12.5 g, the Sugar Minnow Stream 85SP-MR is a compact yet substantial lure that casts well and remains stable in current. Its suspending behaviour means it stays at the desired depth during pauses, giving fish a longer window to inspect and take the lure.

The Bassday Sugar Minnow Stream is available in a range of proven colour variants, allowing you to match the lure to different water clarity and light conditions. Whether you are targeting salmon in rivers or fishing deeper runs, this lure offers a well-balanced combination of casting performance, current stability and effective hooking.

Pontoon21 CrackJack 78SP-MR 11g is a suspending jerkbait developed for anglers who demand long casting distance, stable action and a natural, hovering presentation. With a slightly elongated yet reasonably broad body profile, it is a versatile lure that performs equally well when targeting salmon, sea trout, brown trout, chub and other predatory species in rivers and stillwaters.

At the heart of the CrackJack 78SP-MR is the Magnetic Force Balance (MFB) system. A magnetic balancing mechanism inside the body shifts the internal weight during the cast, helping the lure cut through the air and achieve impressive distances. Once the lure lands, the system settles the weight into its working position, so the lure floats correctly and remains stable throughout the retrieve. This is particularly useful when fishing in current, where an unstable lure quickly loses its action.

The suspending (SP) behaviour is one of the key strengths of this model. On the pause, the CrackJack 78SP-MR holds its depth rather than floating up or sinking, which gives cautious predators a chance to close in and commit. This makes it highly effective for stop-and-go retrieves, sharp twitching and classic jerkbait work, as well as for a steady, straight retrieve when fish are less active.

Because the lure is equally at home in flowing and standing water, it suits a wide range of venues. In rivers, it can be worked across current seams and behind structure; in lakes and reservoirs, it covers open water and edges with the same reliability. The medium running depth of 1.3–1.7 m allows it to search the productive mid-water layer where predatory fish often hunt.

The CrackJack 78SP-MR is fitted with Owner treble hooks, which are known for their sharp points and strong wire. This gives anglers confidence when a fish strikes close to cover or when a hard-fighting salmon or trout makes a powerful run. The hooks are matched to the size and weight of the lure, helping to keep the action balanced and the hook-up ratio high.

With a length of 7.8 cm and a weight of 11 g, this is a compact yet heavy-enough lure that can be cast accurately on both baitcasting and spinning tackle. It is available in a wide range of proven colour patterns, allowing anglers to match the hatch, the water clarity and the light conditions on the day.

Whether you are twitching it for chub on a summer river, slow-rolling it for sea trout in the cold months or working it with a stop-and-go cadence for pike, the Pontoon21 CrackJack 78SP-MR delivers a dependable, fish-catching presentation.

Shimano Aspire Sea Trout is a specialist rod series developed specifically for sea trout and salmon fishing. This 2.89 m spinning rod with a 5–25 g casting weight is built around Shimano's advanced blank technologies, giving the sea trout angler a tool that combines lightness, precision and fish-playing control in demanding coastal and river situations.

The blank features Spiral X Core construction. This advanced carbon lay-up is designed to keep the blank light and responsive, so even the slightest touch or take from a fish is transmitted clearly through the rod. For sea trout fishing, where bites can be subtle and tentative, this level of feedback helps you react at the right moment and set the hook cleanly.

The blank also incorporates Hi-Power X reinforcement. This technology adds torsional rigidity and helps control the blank during casting and playing, which is particularly valuable for sea trout anglers fishing in coastal rivers and open water. Because the blank remains light in the hand, the rod can be cast with high accuracy, allowing you to place lures precisely along current seams, drop-offs and structure.

The rod has a gentle, medium-speed action. This action makes it easy to cast lightweight lures effectively, even when fishing small spinners, spoons or soft plastics. At the same time, the progressive bend helps absorb the surges of a hooked fish, reducing the risk of hooks pulling or leaders failing under excessive tension. This is a real advantage when targeting hard-fighting sea trout and salmon in flowing water.

With a length of 2.89 m and a casting weight range of 5–25 g, the Aspire Sea Trout is well suited to a wide range of light and medium spinning presentations. It is a practical choice for anglers who need a rod that can handle both delicate lure work and the power of an energetic migratory fish.

This rod is made in Japan, reflecting Shimano's high manufacturing standards and attention to detail. It is aimed at anglers who value a lightweight, responsive and accurate spinning rod for sea trout and salmon fishing.

Crazy Fish Alpha 1.98m 0.8-4g is a sensitive, extremely lightweight fast-action spinning rod designed for anglers who demand precision and finesse from their tackle. Built around a high-quality Mitsubishi 40T high-modulus carbon fibre blank, this rod delivers the crisp responsiveness and lightweight feel that serious predator hunters look for in an ultralight setup.

The Mitsubishi 40T high-modulus carbon blank is the heart of the Alpha. High-modulus carbon is prized in rod building for its excellent stiffness-to-weight ratio, allowing the blank to remain light in the hand while still offering the fast, responsive action needed for accurate lure control. This makes the rod particularly well suited to working small lures with precision, where every tap and tick needs to be felt clearly.

Equipped with SIC (Silicon Carbide) guides, the Alpha benefits from smooth line flow and reduced friction during casting and retrieve. SIC rings are a popular choice among discerning anglers because they handle braided lines well and help maintain consistent performance over long sessions. The guide setup complements the fast action of the blank, supporting accurate casts with lightweight lures.

With a length of 1.98 m and a casting weight range of 0.8-4 g, this rod sits firmly in the ultralight and finesse spinning category. The short length improves manoeuvrability when fishing tight swims, overhanging banks or from a boat, while the low casting weight range makes it ideal for presenting micro lures, small soft plastics and lightweight spinners to wary fish.

The fast action of the Crazy Fish Alpha means the rod bends primarily in the upper section under load, leaving plenty of backbone lower down for setting hooks and controlling fish. This characteristic is especially useful when fishing with fine lines and small hooks, where a responsive tip helps detect subtle takes and a strong lower section gives you confidence when a better fish takes the lure.

Whether you are targeting perch, small pike, chub or other light-game species, the Alpha 1.98m 0.8-4g offers a refined blend of sensitivity, low weight and fast response. It is a natural choice for anglers who enjoy ultralight spinning, micro-jigging or finesse approaches on canals, small rivers and stillwaters where a delicate presentation makes all the difference.

Jackall Timon Tricoroll 67S is a premium sinking minnow lure produced by the renowned Japanese tackle manufacturer Jackall. Designed primarily for targeting all salmonid species in flowing water, this compact 67 mm lure has earned a strong reputation among river anglers for its ability to perform in demanding current conditions.

The flat-sided body profile combined with Jackall's original, carefully engineered balancing system allows the Timon Tricoroll 67S to hold its position and track correctly even in strong currents. This stability is a key advantage when fishing fast-flowing rivers where many lures tend to tumble or lose their action. The internal weighting also contributes to impressive casting distance for a lure of this size, helping anglers reach fish holding in mid-river lies or across wider channels.

In terms of action, the Tricoroll 67S performs well under two distinct retrieves. On a steady retrieve it produces a pronounced wobbling and rolling motion, flashing its flanks and creating strong visual attraction. When worked with a twitching or jerking technique, it responds with sharp, erratic darting movements that can trigger reaction strikes from following fish. This versatility makes it a useful lure to carry for a range of situations, from searching open water to targeting fish holding tight to structure.

Although primarily intended for trout, sea trout and salmon, the Timon Tricoroll 67S is also a capable lure for other predatory species. Pike, zander, perch and chub will readily take this lure when it is presented in the right conditions, making it a versatile addition to a freshwater lure box.

The sinking construction allows the lure to be fished at depth and to be worked through the water column with controlled sink rates. With a diving depth of approximately 0.5 to 1 metre, it is well suited to shallow to medium-depth river sections, runs and pools where salmonids are actively feeding.

Available in a wide range of proven colour patterns, including trout, yamame, ayu and baitfish imitations, the Tricoroll 67S can be matched to the water clarity, light conditions and natural forage of the venue being fished.

Shimano Miravel is a 2022 addition to the Shimano reel range, designed as a versatile spinning reel for a wide range of lure fishing methods. Its low overall weight and light rotation feel make it an excellent choice for anglers looking for a well-balanced, all-round reel that performs comfortably throughout long sessions.

The reel is built around a CI4+ composite body, a material that helps keep the reel remarkably light while maintaining a well-balanced feel, even in the larger sizes. This makes the Miravel suitable for anglers who want a reel that pairs naturally with modern lightweight rods without making the setup feel tip-heavy.

Inside, the reel features Shimano ProvenGear technology, which is designed to run smoothly and deliver consistent power and smoothness during the retrieve. This contributes to a reliable, refined feel when working lures and retrieving line under load.

The spool features a patented special-angle spool lip, engineered to reduce line tangles and support longer casts. This is particularly useful when fishing with braid or when making repeated long casts with lightweight lures.

The reel also incorporates X-Protect protection, which helps prevent water from entering the internal body of the reel. This adds a useful layer of protection when fishing in wet conditions, near splashing water or during general spinning use.

Available in a range of sizes from 1000 to 4000, including 2500, 2500S, 2500HG, 2500SHG and 3000C variants, the Shimano Miravel can be matched to different spinning and light lure fishing setups.
