The Plastic Princesses



Here's a few plastic lures that came to our attention on our trip to the magic isle of Bel Ille the french adore these lures but yet to be adopted by the standard UK lure angler in a big way last year right up to Christmas we had a great deal of Bass on the x slayer






This x slayer is the ayu pattern rigged on a 2/0 1/2oz straight jig head for twitch and draw method deadly !!



Just take a look at this goby immitation little gem the hazedong with 1/8th oz mega bass head you will need a flick tip supermix rod using these goby immitations





great for fishing the weed margins and close gullies but with a very fast rod and you will sure nail that illusive bass with this gem of the lure world


Heres a de le lande cut down 4inch blue/black GT Shad i think it looks so impressive used in waterford Ireland last winter with fantastic results and while we are on the subject of fishing in winter what about these i found today £ 12.00 a pair the ultimate 3 fingerless plugging gloves,,,


Great for them cold winter months

The Red Reveloution





















What a Fantastic few days i have spent on the isle of Bell ille off the French coast with Henry and the staff of ultimate fishing including the man himself father of all our lures Yannick Cordier The visit to the Ultimate Fishing HQ was for me a life changing experience what a place walking down the isles opening boxes of lures that went to the ceiling all them little sparkling eyes looking back shouting buy me ! buy me! OH MY GOD !!!!!Where am i??The next corner revealed plain boxes stacked 10 high and peaking over the edge were packs and packs of xslayers thousands ,tens of thousands of these wonderfull plastic lures,then the jig heads the poppers the sea trout stuff feed shallows,megabass zonks in there hundreds with there little green eyes peering back at me ,,up the next isle masses of z claws, tide minnows all sizes and colours of the rainbow and the then when i thought i could not get any better than this my jaw hit the floor when i wandered round the next corner and saw a Forrest ,masses of Red Tenrhu Rods ,have i died and gone to heaven?? no this was real ,very real what a sight to behold i dug in like a man possessed stuff i had never seen before,open shad victory,super mix 210,240,270 steel red system,red luck top water new stuff due out soon like the injection !!!that's one to watch
Heres Henry desperately trying to keep his wallet in his pocket with Yannick the God Father
