Q1 2016: Acquisition I

Luck is on my side.
Hard to find Carpenter Maihime 120 Flying Fish scheme.
Mai-hime means "Dancer"
Length: 220mm
Weight: 118g
Type: Floating
Recommended Hook: 11g (Owner ST-66 5/0, Gamakatsu GT Recorder 5/0, Vanfook TAKUMI CT-77 5/0
Recommended Split Ring: Carpenter 250lb
My rod: EP85/36, TBL 711/35RF, TBL80/30RF-SHP, CV79/35

p/s need to test it and compare to Gamma and Bluefish.

Copied from other website
quote "Having undergone a series of testing and improvements, the new Carpenter lure “MAIHIME” appears and swims just like real fish, that they cannot even figure out if the lure is a real fish or not.Its action on the water is almost the same as Gamma, but this lure works better if you give it a shorter reel winding intervals. This lure might not be the best for the rough wave condition, as Bluefish and Gamma could be better for that condition." end quote.





Also hard to find, rarely heard Fish Trippers Village Le Grand Tango 240 and Le Grand Tango 210.
