Nemesi 140 - The beginning

As you might have noticed, the first product that will be launched very soon by Nemesi Italian Project Team is the Nemesi 140 SS.

The Nemesi 140 is a sinking jerk bait that has been talked about since. Thanks to next-generation technlogy, Nemesi Italian Project team have managed to produce an artifactIts slim profile, weight, cast-ability and inner technologies are revolutionary in lure making.

Nemesi 140 - Technical Specs

Nemesi 140 SS - Jerk Minnow - Slow Sinking
Weight 17 gr.
Sinking - 30/80 cm
Inner Armor in Aisi 316Ti steel (Titanium)
Sliding bar for internal cylinder in Aisi 316Ti steel (Titanium)
Treble Hooks - 3 Thrinax SW #6 size - 4x (Tin)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nemesi 140 is a jerk minnow born thanks to the passion of the Nemesi Italian Project team.

Thanks to its slim profile and the paddle, suitably designed and placed, the Nemesi 140 stays in play from the first to the last turn of the reel, even with strong currents...

The reinforcement at the base of the paddle, the inner armor in Aisi 316Ti (Titanium) and the abs x-strong body make Nemesi 140 ideal for extreme conditions and predators!!!

Thanks to next-generation technologies, the colouring of the bait makes it shiny and extremely solid even when used strenuously.

We have calibrated Wobbling and Rolling to perfection to make the bait more alluring even with just a simple line recovery.

Nemesi 140 uses our internal magnetic system for weight movement (patent pending), the 3MAG System, which introduces innovative characteristics in bait animation, thanks to the magnetic recoils generated by the two opposing magnets, granting optimum casting performance, with minimum effort, thanks to the magnetic hold.

Indeed, depending on the jerking frequency and strength, the bait in random mode goes from a balanced state, with the cylinder located in the exact centre of gravity, to a non-balanced state, where the centre of gravity moves slightly forwards or backwards generating very attractive starts after the stop.

Continuous jerks will make the bait's centre of gravity vary continuously, making it virtually "alive" and more attractive.

Nemesi 140 is equipped with our treble hooks Thrinax SW, measuring #6, thickness 4x and covered in Tin (Titanium Nitride used specifically to improve the duration of cutting and resistance to corrosion).

LRF - A matter of refinement and delicacy fishing!!

Introduction

Light rock fishing has become a passion for me just within a couple of weeks.To be honest, in the beginning I was very sceptical about finesse fishing and light fishing techniques.

The first question that comes to mind is whether this technique yields positive results. "Would it be worthwhile to invest a lot of time and money into LRF when all you can catch is small fish". "And would it be worth it to invest in the equipment, when you can catch the same fishing using live bait and extremely cheap tackle?"

Those are the same questions that I asked myself when I was faced with the decision whether or not to invest in such a technique. I can assure that, YES, it is all worth it. I would like to explain in detail what Light Rock Fishing is, from the perspective of a fisherman that does not mind a different approach to the traditional spinning technique.

Light rock fishing is a fishing technique quite recently introduced here in Malta and other neighbouring counties, which is fast-growing and becoming a very practical technique used by many anglers.

If you look at the words that make up the name of the technique LIGHT ROCK FISHING (LRF), you can already get a pretty good idea of what to expect.

• Light: lightness, using equipment capable of managing baits from 0.5 grams to a maximum of 7-8 grams.

• Rock: Rocks will be the main spot where we're going to undermine our prey. Bottom fish, living in this habitat, are the main prey of light rock fishing.

• Fishing: Well .. this is easy .. certainly not fishing from the comfort of home!

Doing the right decision - what tackle to use...

The Rod

The rod is a vital part in every fishing technique.Through experience I have understood that the best length for your LRF rod shall be that between 7 feet and 8 feet. On various occasions, I have found that longer and shorter rods can be very useful. However, a rod which is between the above mentioned measures will be comfortable enough for you to fish easily from harbours, pontoons and easy access rocky areas where casting distance is not a necessity . 

Ultra light rods sometimes come with solid tips, instead of tubular, for super sensitivity. Complimented with fast action, these rods will get you into encountering some interesting predators. With experience, you will start to understand, explore and appreciate the difference, and compliment these with your own preferences.

The Reel

The reel is another extremely vital part of your LRF setup! Try to choose a small, front drag reel. Many are sceptic about sizes, in the range of 1000-2000, but it is extremely surprising what you can fish with such small and quality reels. I can assure you that a quality 1000 reel is capable of landing even 3kg+ fish! Small reels are essential with ultra light fishing rods, as they perfectly balance with such rods. Rest assured that even the smallest reel will hold enough PE line for your LRF!!

The Line

In my opinion, your line is the most important aspect of your LRF tackle! Choosing the best line for your light rock fishing is no easy task, but it is extremely important to choose the best possible option that suits your needs. This can vary from direct Fluorocarbon or Fluorocoated lines, to more sophisticated PE lines.

My personal preference goes for PE lines. Slightly more costly, PE lines are extremely thin and strong. Sensitivity is an important factor in finesse fishing, and one of the great advantages of using braided lines over other lines is its non-stretchability, which permits 100% sensitivity to fish bites. A high quality 3lb-6lb PE line may cost more than other lines, but the advantages that you get from such lines are infinite when compared to other lines, including cast ability range. I believe that you shall never go beyond 6lb for light rock fishing, as sensitivity tends to decrease if you go above that!

Fluorocarbon

Fluorocarbons have come a long way over the past 10 years. Originally they were very stiff, and very difficult to tie knots with. I believe that the advantages of using fluorocarbon are its invisibility in water and greater abrasion resistance, with the latter being the most important when finesse fishing using bottom jig techniques. Fluorocarbons are also being designed to be softer, easier to tie, and cheaper than previous years.

Knots

Tying extremely thin PE lines and fluorocarbons together may be a difficult task at hand, due to the thinness of the lines. Over the last couple of months I have been a bit sceptic about discussing this subject, as there are several ideas circulating around, however I finally convinced myself that this would be a very important topic for the any angler who approaches the light game. Especially those who approach this technique without first practising other spinning techniques.


The knots that I am going to discuss here are those that I personally use, and which have been tested several times to success:-


- Arbor (knot to tie the PE line to the reel spool);

- Improved Clinch (knot to tie jig-heads, swivels, hooks with eye, etc.)

- Peixet (junction knot PE Line  -->  Fluorocarbon)


As for the Peixet knot, that allows to tie thin braided lines with thin FC, this is a knot that I have learnt with the help of a friend of mine, Mr. Alex Santoro, an Italian who forms part of the Akua Pro Staff team, and is a collaborator of several tackle manufacturers. He has a vast experience on Light Rock Fishing.

I discussed this subject in detail with Alex, and both came to the conclusion that the Peixet is a better alternative that the Tony Pegna knot, which we both used in the past.

After personally using the Peixet knot for the first time, I could immediately appreciate the huge benefits that this knot brings about, in terms of output, tightness and ease of execution, both in the medium-heavy spinning techniques, and now in LRF!

Here I will show you a step-by-step guide on how to execute this knot, through the help of photos and tips by Alex. The images are copyright of Mr. Alex Santoro, who gave me a special permission to share them this article for your benefit:

Step 1

With the fluorocarbon, create a simple knot, and then repeat the operation in order to have a node with two laps.

Step 2 & 3

Tighten the knot a little bit, in order to achieve a sort of a figure of eight, but inverted! Image 3 shows the result that we will get after completion of step the above mentioned step, the "inverted eight"...

Step 4

Now is the time to start passing the PE line through the "inverted eight", as shown in the detailed picture below. 

Step 5

After you pass the PE Line, make 15 turns around the fluorocarbon with the same PE Line. 

Step 6

Repeat the process in the opposite direction, with 15 turns upwards now. Be very careful to match the coils with the gaps left in step 5, and then pass the free end of the PE line again through the "inverted eight" 

Step 7

Now is the time that you lubricate the sliding parts of the knot, and carefully start to pull all the 3 active leaders. This is shown in the picture below, and by doing so. you will be tightening the knot.

Step 8

Finally, just cut the excess fluorocarbon and PE Line a few millimetres from the node and you're done. There is no need to burn the excess, as you greatly risk to weaken the knot due to excessive heat. 

Step 9

The Final result. 

Lures & Accessories

Lures, including hard baits and soft baits, jig heads and other accessories, are an extremely vital part of your LRF tackle. A light game fish grip is essential if you want to practice C&R, and in order to handle dangerous bottom fish like scorpion fish, which is found and caught commonly on LRF tackle. 

There is a vast range of light rock fishing lures and accessories on the market. At www.fishwiselures.com we distribute a vast range of products, including some top worldwide brands such as Reins, Keitech, Damiki, YGK, and Black Flagg. Visit our website to discover more!! 

Conclusion

Finesse fishing has become another part of saltwater spinning. It is a world full of emotions, unexpected catches, and colours. I hope that I have been of help with this article. Personally, I would like to thank Mr. Alex Santoro for all his help and support. Please feel free to contact me on info@fishwiselures.com should you want to discuss further more.

Sstackle Sniper

After the success that the Italian manufacturer had with the Vendetta 173 long jerk minnow, Sstackle have just produced prototype 002, the SNIPER jig. An artificial of 7cm in length, the SNIPER is to be included in the Short Jig category, designed to target and catch Dolphin fish, Atlantic Bonito, Little Tunnies, Amberjacks, Blue fish and more.

The choice of the name, "SNIPER" (as the well known Sniper Rifle) predicts the ballistic qualities of stroke, and a lethal weapon against the big predatory fish.

The Sniper jig is composed of a Tri-asymmetric body; a side that has a smooth and highly reflective surface, and another with a pronounced reflective design. This particular design allows the SNIPER to produce erratic and irregular movements, full of reflections, both during the fall out phase and during the jerking phase of this jig.

SNIPER is a product designed in Italy and tested in Mediterranean waters. The jig is produced in Japan, with high quality standards and colors.

STRENGTHS -

1. Tri-asymmetric Body
2. Large surface reflection
3. Eyes adhesive plates to reduce turbulence
4. Dual mode coupling, enabling a reverse utilization of the Jig
5. Double split rings for a greater resistance to torsion
6. Single hook 2/0 to deal with challenging situations
7. Made in Japan

The SNIPER jig will be available in 5 different sizes: starting with the 27 gr version, and going up to 37 gr, 47 gr, 67 gr, and 77 gr. This product will be distributed in Malta by FishWise Lures very soon. Please visit http://www.fishwiselures.com for more information, and stay tuned to www.facebook.com/fishwiselures.
