2023-24

Thank you for supporting us this year.

It was a year of many things, both good and bad. This past year

I don't have much to write about, so I'd like to end with some protolua stuff.

 

"Protominnow SHADOW revival"

 

About 25 years ago? Immediately after the release of Aima Komomo for sea bass

I remember throwing it all over the mouth of the lake.

Around that time, I was mainly fishing with wading, and I was trying out all sorts of minnows, including flash minnows (110) and arrow rares, on the west shore of the lake.

It was popular among some wading men.

After that, Mr. Murakami's Hama Minnow was released, and for some reason my minnow fever cooled down.

Since it had the word "hama" on it, I thought it was good enough, so I bought it.

It was easy to use because it flew well and the diving depth was perfect.

A few years later, DRT was founded - I caught a fish with Punish during a rod test.

I remember the largest fish being 65cm.

Minnowing is a traditional fishing method at Okappari in Lake Biwa.
It's basically just winding it with the flow, but it's very deep. . .
The technique itself is not difficult, just roll it.
but
There aren't that many minnows that fit well in the Okappari area of ​​Lake Biwa.
Once you get hooked, you will have a hard time choosing minnows. Minnows that can be caught by reeling
I started developing it with such dissatisfaction that it wouldn't fly.
Protominnow "SHADOW"
I don't want to be misunderstood, so I'm writing this,
I sometimes hear threads about how it's harder to catch big baits in Lake Biwa now.
I don't really feel that. Depending on the season, it may be difficult to catch fish.
This is a field where you can normally go bass fishing with just big bait.
Even with big bait, worms, and minnows, the fish you're targeting is the same.
I also make this proto minnow because I simply want to catch something big.
As one of the drawers.
I don't think about the action performance of jerking or twitching at all.
A minnow for just winding.
Smelt type and ayu type
There are two types of prototypes with different actions.
We are also testing rods for minnowing.
I still have some prototype items that I would like to introduce.
This time around.
Thank you all for your help this year.
Let's live happily in 2024!
this winter
Looks like I'll be heading to the beach more often to study the movement of bait at night lol
I look forward to your continued support next year.
Have a great new year! ! !
