This happened about two weeks ago, with Mr. Konishi Carpenter owner and designer at White island. On board Sivlerado. Testing some new lures and new rods.
Mr.Konishi slayed this beauty 40kg fish (weighted & released after photo) with his new Blue fish 120g blue Mac







All I have to say is those Carpenter lures are unbelievable and those rods are truly awesome~!
boys caught over 100 big king fish in three days ~ unreal action.

Some beasts there - looks like there was plenty of action - so the lures work aye
The solution to any problem - work, money, love, whatever - is to go fishing - the worse the problem the longer the fishing trip should be.

Is it part of the Gamma series? or a completely new swimming lure? 

Interesting looking colour too?
