There are no signs of Barracudas now and my last fish catch count was zero. So this time, I went to Redondo Beach hoping for a better result!! I brought with me some crucial lures for this season to reconfirm my fishing techniques to a better direction and to personally level up my skills. For that, I tested out my retrieve speed. When you think of Lucky Craft salt lures, the well known lures would be theFM110 & FM130MR… but this time I used a newly released lure in Japan – it is called the “BIGUP”. Lucky Craft Japan pro staff, Mr. Abe created this deep dive model Seabass lure!! For detailed product explanation, how it is used and fishing results, please check out the “Enjoy” DVD! And this time, I went to test out the “BIGUP” lure (as well as other lures…). And in result to the testing, I think it went pretty well. It doesn’t go as far as the FM, but it makes small and detailed wave motions underwater. Also, when you stop retrieving, instead of suspending it performs a slow sinking action. FM series are suspending models, but I imagined BIGUP lures to utilize its performance to get bites while sinking. Very interesting! Calico Bass and Barracuda!? I plan on always having color lineups from metallic, gold, and green colors for this summer and also having my FM and BIGUP lures to go Okappari (Shore fishing) and boat fishing. So please stay tuned.

P.S. It’s actually been awhile since my last Okappari (Shore Fishing), and I was able to go through a lot of thinking while seeing a lot of people having a good time kayak fishing. I would like to try that out next year.
