MY TIME TO MALDIVAS

A week to join my friends in Gaafu atoll, one of the southernmost land in Maldivas.
Fishing was not easy due to slack current and big waves. The fishes definitely preferred small poppers over big bloopers, stickbaits and other lures.
Pato "half" of 75 grams made a good show, catching some nice GTs, snappers an coral trouts.
It worked so well that I created a "GT special" version with oversized wire of 2mm, to resist the demand of hard fishing that wasn't in the original project of such a small lure.

BICHO IN MALDIVAS

Memories of a week cruising the southern atolls for my friend Salvatore.

"Bicho" 135 was the best lure of the week, the ones that caught the biggest fishes of the trip; GTs didn't want noisy poppers, but preferred a good sized pencil worked fast... sometimes those kind of lures make all the difference.

Not always big ones indeed....
