Hot's Otoko Jig

Hot's Otoko Long Silhouette Jig - Seiichi Nagai Model

One of the many things I bought when I went down to Fishing Line in JB. Hot's long and slim jig, and check out the 'eye' and the coating. Yes...this jig caught a jigger :D

Anyway, I've been stocking up on a lot of new jigs and lures, all of which didn't really have the chance to be tested properly. The last trip to Tukun Perak couple weeks back was hit by stormy weather. And work is piling and it's gonna get worst in 2009 as my team size is increasing by 5 times; which means longer working hours, less free time to blog and fish. Sigh... Damn it...

Oh yes... HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fisherman Kyoro Jig

Fisherman Kyoro Jig

Bought this couple months back from Fishingline Tackle in Permas Jaya, JB. I'm slowly believing that jigs & lures are designed to catch Anglers. When I saw this jig, I was like 'Hey! That's something different. Shape and colour.' Used it once in Jarak but didn't yield any results yet. Very minimal resistance when jigging. Hope to land something with it soon.

Shimano Ocea Waterproof Binder Case

Shimano Ocea Waterproof Binder Case - from Plat. Wanted to get the Shout! Assist Case but there were no stock around, and didn't feel like waiting. And it goes nicely with the Shimano Ocea Jig Bag. Anyway, I've always used a photo album to keep all my pre-tied hooks, leaders & assist hooks. Cheap cheap good good, most of time. The only problem is they are not exactly waterproof. And of course, not as durable.

And mesh pockets on both sides.

Waterproof zipper.

Shimano Ocea Jig Bag

Got this jig bag from Plat. Actually, part of it is from Angler's Pro Shop. This will replace the one I bought from Plat a while back. It comes with a detachable jig bag that holds different sizes. The default one it comes with holds Small and Medium jigs. I also purchased a separate one which holds Medium and Long jigs, from APS. One of the best part of the Ocea jig bag is they all fit nicely into the Shout! Jigger Bag and also Plano's Flipsider Base Station.

Shimano OceaAs usual, they always have a front pouch. Good for chucking the kevlars, hooks, swivels or pliers, etc.OCEAThe clip that hold it together.

You can adjust the strap to give you more room for the jigs and also the other 1 or 2 Ocea jig bags. Cross stitching and button to give the handle strap durability.

Here are the jigs compartments. Care to count how many it holds? :-p

Some pros and cons on the jig compartments. The elastic that holds the jig is a bit tight. Good that it holds them tightly so they won't drop out. Bad that it'll be harder for fatter jigs like Ever Green's Caprices to be slotted in; not mission impossible... just mission difficult.
The 'holder' that holds the separate jig bag.

Will definitely need some dosage of WD40 or smtg to prevent rust.

Here are some close up shots of the separate jig bag. This is the one from APS.

If you fancy the bag and don't wanna get them online, it's also available at FishingLine Tackle and Fisherman in JB, Permas Jaya. Went down there a couple times in the past few months and got bunch of stuffs too. So stay tune for some mini reviews on those stuffs :D
