The synonymous lure attached to the UK LRF scene – Marukyu Isome has been available to anglers for around 10 years now, yet it is still a mystery to some and a scourge to others. This is my review of the various colours, highlighting their uses and limitations. England is currently struggling through an Isome…
Blue Monday LRF – From Sutton To Mutton
Apparently the most depressing day of the year, the first Monday in January can be a real downer. As an angler though I have a built in remedy to the blues, I can escape the mundane and get the heart racing with only a flick of a rod tip. 2020 was only a few days…

Brixham LRF 23/11/2019
Rain, bloody rain! Autumn has been a washout but would that stop me and Richard Salter lerfing? Of course not. We had a cunning plan to avoid the mud pit that the Plymouth Sound has become recently and head to Brixham, in the hope that it would be more sheltered and clearer. It turned out…
