Ca 50-talet abborrar upp idag. Ett ganska trögt pass får man ändå säga då det krävdes mycket pill och finesse för att få dem att hugga. Precis det fisket jag tycker är riktigt kul. Lite test av nya beten fick det bli iallafall.

Top 3 beten idag:

BottomUp Scooper Frog+BottomUp Snaqjig (konstanta hopp precis över botten, även i mellanvattnet)

Deps Bull Flat 3” (free rig)

Geecrack Bellows Gill (free rig, cheburashka)

Ut och ta dem nu! Det börjar sakteliga samlas fisk på höst-ställen.

Noike Kaishin Crank 45DR (crankbait)

10ftunder Chibi Rotter (riggad på free rig)

Raid Japan 1Way (en enkelkrok, en 0,3g spikvikt)

Sjukt roligt fiske på senaste tiden. Nu senast (Söndags) hade vi lite över 90st abborrar upp med ett relativt bra snitt. Det mesta högg på free rig. Här är lite av det som fungerat de senaste 2 veckorna.

Alla dessa beten är JDM (Japanese Domestic Market), men går att hitta i Sverige om man letar lite.

Lite JDM-beten till abborre som jag definitivt tror på.

Japanerna fiskar detta på Black Bass i Lake Biwa bland annat, genom att strolla/hoppa betet i mellanvattnet. Detta ska absolut testas på abborre.

Man kan även fiska dessa som ytbeten, vilket jag eventuellt tänkte pröva. Alternativt sätta in en spikvikt fram och låta den sjunka långsamt med en grässkyddad wacky-krok, medan jag rycker den genom gräset. Funkar även på Free rig och Cheburashka är jag helt hundra på.

Kul med mångsidiga beten. Det ska bli sjukt kul att pröva.

Translation, from the owner of Madotachi's instagram:

"This is a report and my thoughts as a lure developer.

During the Obon holiday period, we received information from several users that footage of the Madotachi lure was being used without permission on YouTube.

Upon reviewing the video, we confirmed that it used action footage of the Madotachi lure, and what we found most problematic was that it encouraged the purchase of counterfeit products.

The counterfeit products utilize our patented structure.

The scenario is as follows:

① Watch the video of the genuine product

② Unknowingly purchase the counterfeit product

③ The person who received the commission receives payment

Regarding ②, we understand that some people may purchase knowing about the counterfeit product.

We are aware that counterfeit products have been circulating for some time.

Currently, there are three counterfeit versions, and this number will likely increase.

It is very upsetting to see a lure that we poured our passion and significant funds into creating, with our whole heart and soul, being copied.

The counterfeit Madotachi products are of poor quality and are being distributed without addressing any of the problems we repeatedly encountered and resolved during development.

They can be purchased for around 1000-2000 yen, about half the price of the genuine product, but they are not worth that price (we have verified this).

Regarding counterfeit products manufactured overseas, even manufacturers with far greater financial resources than ours find it difficult to prevent their production. Furthermore, we cannot completely dismiss the desire of children or individuals who, for economic reasons, cannot afford expensive fishing gear and simply want to enjoy fishing at an affordable price. This issue leaves me with mixed feelings every time I encounter it.

Not limited to fishing gear, I myself may unknowingly be using such inexpensive products. I try to accept that some people will be dissatisfied with inferior goods and hopefully one day compare them to genuine products.

However, I cannot condone promoting the purchase of counterfeit goods and profiting from them while ignoring patent rights, design rights, trademark rights, and copyrights.

This time, we have asked the poster to:

Delete the video and the link to the purchase page (completed)

Provide an explanation to viewers regarding encouraging the purchase of counterfeit goods (awaiting response)

If these are completed, this matter will be closed.

Thank you very much for all the information and advice.

Please be careful not to accept such requests too easily."

Not only are these Temu companies very unethical when they copy a lure like this; especially one from a small JDM manufacturer. To actually trick consumers with a video of the actual product...that's really bad. Buy the real thing or don't buy it at all. Otherwise you're feeding the leeches of the industry and rewarding rip-offs. Passion, quality, innovation and good customer service are all things that should be more important than saving a little bit of cash.

The sharpest, most refined and most slick hooks I’ve ever tried. Sasame owned Ryugi is genuinely the best quality for the money I have come across. Big fan of Zappu and Ichikawa as well, but for offset hooks, Ryugi takes the lead.

Corrosion caused by prolonged exposure to brackish water. Unfortunate, but it happens sometimes when you think ”eh, one more season can’t hurt.” I would recommend being very thorough and overhauling your magnesium reels more often than other reels due to the risk of frame/sideplate corrosion.

A free rigged Deps Beckon Craw 3,5” has been the best presentation/lure this past session.

This is the Aros D-Spider 2,2”. Aros is a Korean Domestic Market brand that create many highly unique lures. I’ve been interested to get my hands on a few more different models.

16 rods on the boat this time! Why? If you want to optimize your fishing and techniques, you need to have optimal gear. Each of these rods are meticulously thought about to fit into one specific technique.

Plus…you don’t have to re-rig.

Top fish was the only one I caught on a free rig all day. It took a Bellows Gill 2,8”. Just one bite free rigging that and it was from this fish.

Top techniques:

Lipless Crankbait

Tailspinners

Dart Jigs

Best lures:

Sunny Bros Obee

Armada Eye Catcher

DUO BayRuf BR Fish 3,3” rigged on the BR Head 7 g.

Best techniques:

Jika rig

Free rig

Crankbaits

Best baits:

Geecrack Bellows Craw 3.5”

Perch Professor Fapping Craw 5.5 cm

Noike Kaishin Crank 45SR

O.S.P DoLive Shrimp

Biggest perch: Evergreen Jackhammer 14 g (chatterbait)

A brand entirely focused on tailspinners and vibration-baits. Spinmad is super underrated. These things catch fish like crazy!

Aros has been on my radar for a year by now and rightfully so. Their stuff looks amazing. The South Korea bass market really looks like the next big thing to me.

This is the Aros D-Spider 2.2”. The way its legs flutter as it sinks is what made me want to try it. Also, it has a really unique scent. Almost watermelon-like.

Colours (upper, left to right): Ghost Ayu, Natural Minnow and Kinkuro.

Apparently, these are made by Lucky Craft and have been in development for a long while. I look forward to testing them!

My trusty Wera drivers are not handling this screw particularly well. First time this reel gets a proper disassembly. Since I fish a ton of brackish water, bearings need to be switched out regularly.

The tackle shop I work at got access to a few models. They feel incredibly high end for their price. These will sell well!

Reel: Daiwa Alphas CT SV 70SHL (tricked out with parts from Hedgehog Studios, RCS and Daiwa themselves)

Rod: Shimano Expride 1610M-2

Line: Sufix Advance Fluorocarbon 11lb/0,26 mm

Lure: BottomUp Flanjer in the colour BU Table Rock Shad

Hook hanger: G-nius Project BHK UD hook keeper.

This combo just keeps going and going. The reel is my favorite reel of all time. The Expride rod fishes so incredibly well and can definitely take a beating. The line is super sweet, definitely competing with JDM options. The BottomUp Flanjers have fished very well for me this week and I highly recommend them if you’re looking for good JDM jerkbaits. On top of that, the G-nius Project hook keeper is genuinely so good. I will get more for some of my other reels. Overall a fantastic combo.

Super interesting lure I ordered at the same time as my reel.
