Rapala MaxRap (MXR13)

A few weeks ago we added the NEW Rapala MaxRap (MXR13) to the site. I haven't had a chance to put one of these in the water yet but on first impression they look the business. Thier finish is in keeping with Rapala's successful X-Rap range of fishing lures and they come in a great new range of colours with some swanky new packaging!

Rapala MaxRap Specifictaion

Weight: 15g
Length: 13cm
Swimming Depth: 1' - 2'
Colours: Flake Ayu, Flake Blue, Flake Green, Flake Hot Blue, Flake Purple Ghost, Flake Red Head, Flake Silver

Here's the speil from Rapala:

Tip to tail everything about the MaxRap is premium. Designed for maximum casting distance, the MaxRap features an aerodynamic shape that combines with its patented internal MaxCast mechanism to deliver unbelievable distance in each cast. Complemented with every imaginable maximum feature like laser-engraved scales, VMC® Spark Point hooks and superior quality components. Rip it for darting, wild searching action or straight retrieve for hard-flashing "wounded minnow" Rapala wobble. Discriminating anglers demand the best. Demand the MaxRap.

 

 We're currently stocking almost every colour in the range. More details >>

TUF-Line Braid - New for 2010

We have recently added two new braided lines to the site, both are new into the UK for 2010. These braids are specifically designed for use on spinning reels and when we tried them out at the end of last season we were suitable impressed.

TUF-Line XP and TUF-Line Duracast are the new braids both produced by a US company, Western Filament Inc. for more details check out the TUF-Line website at www.tuf-line.com

  • TUF-Line XP is a traditional braid however, it is extremely thin and very stong. Aerospace technology has been used during the production process to put the braid under so much tension that the end product is more compact and has a rounder profile than many other braids. Click here for more.
  • TUF-Line Duracast is a slightly differenty line, it is marketed as 'the braided solution for spinning reels', here's why: It has a monofilament core which is covered with spectra fibre braid, this is then melted togther alowing both materials to fuse. Creating a very durable line with all the benefits of monofiliament but most importantly with zero stretch. This is something that helped it win the Best New Braid Award at last years European Fishing Tackle Association show! Click here for more.

If you're looking for a new braid don't be afraid to give TUF-Line a go, you won't be disapointed.

s'No'w Stopping Us!

We could not let a little snow get in the way of this mornings post run! With the car loaded we set off down the hill past some abandoned cars, past a few plugging spots, past a load of people walking and safely on to the Post Office. They were mighty pleased to see us there too, especially as we were the first customers of the day at 10:30am! Rest assured if the mail plane leaves and you've ordered in the last few days eveything's on its way...

Here's a list of our top selling lures from 2009:

1. Storm Chug Bug
2. Yo-Zuri Crystal Minnow
3. Rapala J13
4. Rapala X-Rap 10

I haven't fished much with Chug Bugs this year but I'm going to make a conscious effort to put a few back in my bag in 2010!

Happy New Year to you and thanks for your support this year, we have some great plans for 2010 and loads of new stock on the way so stay in touch :-)
