Streamertubes: IMPROVE YOUR HOOK UP RATE - DRAMATICALLY Back in 2013, Jens Bursell and Rasmus Ovesen released their book “Reflektioner på kysten” about sea trout fishing from the coastal shores. The book included some new ideas on how to drastically improve your hook-up and landing rate by using tube flies, L-rigs and small trebles (the so-calles ‘Release Tackles’). This method has now become a bit of a trend, and recently a range of Streamertubes, which makes it super-easy to fish tube flies in combination with small treble hooks, has been launched. Streamertubes are regular tubes with a twist. They are mounted with an additional angled tube, which provides the fly with the asymmetrical hook exposure that is at the basis of the release-tackle technique. The Streamertubes can be purchased online here: www.streamertube.com
Wiggle Tails: FLIES THAT SHAKE BOOTY Flyskinz is the name of a series of rubber fly tying materials that will help you create patterns that exert an almost hypnotizing effect on predatory fish. We’ve had the chance to test their Spiked (and Unspiked) Slow Rolla Tails, and we’re hooked! The tails are super-easy to tie in, and make your flies act and behave quite a bit like jigs – with fluttering and squirming tail motions. It is something that trout, perch, zander and other predatory fish find it hard to resist. Flyskinz are distributed by The Fly Company (www.flyco.dk), and they are now available across Europe.
