A pretty big one was hooked on to my lure.
After it giving me plenty of trouble with its weight, it surfaced.

It was great getting results with the prototype popping pencil lure still under development.

As the bite numbers in Komodo significantly decreasing, the need to counter the line-breakages and mistakes has increased.
Although we had limited fishing time due to engine trouble, we were able to catch over 40% of the bites that occurred.
In addition, there were no line-breakages.

I feel that our fishing tackle and tackle balance has evolved to another level.
