Waxwing Lures from Shimano – Could this be the most fun way possible to fish?
A new must have for any fishing tackle bag is the new waxwing lures from the ever popular Shimano. Shimano provides anglers with the excitement of targeting the many saltwater species found in the upper water column with the Waxwing lures. Available in two sizes, the Waxwing 88 Boy (88mm length) and Waxwing 118 Jr., the lures are offered in 14 colors with ultraviolet reactive paint on the lateral line to further enhance their fish catching abilities. Not exactly traditional fly fishing but in salt water- these have to be the best around! Fishing tackle bags everywhere will hold a waxwing lure
The Waxwing Boy and Jr. have a hydrodynamic body design, “with an upper wing to make it swim in a zigzag motion and a lower wing to prevent it from rolling,” said Ted Sakai; product manager for Shimano’s technical fishing systems. “The aerodynamics make it easy to cast long distances, especially when used in the system we developed with our Terez Waxwing rods and high-speed reels including the new Trinidad 10A or Curado 300EJ, or our Stella, Sustain and Stradic spinning models.”
Each Waxwing lure features stainless wire-through construction directly to the tin-coated double hook. Every fishing tackle box should have these as automatic!
To help the Waxwing lures move through the water properly, the new Shimano Terez rods matched with a high-speed Shimano reel provides a simple steady retrieve that allows the lure to swim in its zigzag motion. Terez Waxwing rods include specific seven-foot casting and spinning models, seven-foot-two-inch spinning, and eight-foot casting with the right power and action to fish PowerPro braid from 10-pound test up to 100-pound. Get one in your fishing tackle bag today! Each Terez rod is offered in five colors to match the most popular boat hull colors – aqua, emerald green, fighting lady yellow, pearl white and sunset red – and feature Shimano’s C4S blank construction for sensitivity and durability.
When used with PowerPro Vermilion Red braided that will ‘virtually disappear’ in the water (another must have for the fishing tackle bag) – the line and color of choice for the Waxwing system, anglers will see how all the components come together – the action of the Terez rods, the high-speed retrieve of Shimano’s Trinidad 10A, Curado 300EJ, Stella SW, Sustain and Stradic reels – to make such an effective fish-catching tool.
“In testing the Waxwing lures in saltwater fishing locations on all coasts, we have yet to find one predator that won’t eat it,” Sakai said. “For bass fishing in particular, it proved to be the ultimate tool. The unique fin design allows it to swim like no other lure – many anglers may find it to be the most fun way possible to fish.”
Well this angler has new waxwing lures in his fishing tackle, so planning sea bass fishing all weekend, cant wait! Happy fishing! Cheers, Paul
